About this experience
Explore below the waves at beautiful Carlisle Bay in a new and unique way. With our completely clear 'glass bottom' kayaks you'll be able to see clearly as we paddle over three sunken shipwrecks bursting with tropical fish and marine life.
We'll start our tour from Harbour Lights on Carlisle Bay beach where we will first head to the location where green sea turtles and Hawksbill turtles are regularly spotted.
From there we will journey to three different shipwrecks sunken close to shore where you will have a perfect view of the wrecks through our clear kayaks. Be amazed as you learn the interesting history of the wrecks and how they ended up at their final resting place. Finally we will head to back to shore for a complimentary rum punch on the beach. Simply an unforgettable experience.
