Further along you will see the REEFS with local marine-life and in the breeding season big chance on seeing TURTLES. Please understand we can not give guarantees as wild-life is not on a leash. We will make "stops" over these places the boat will be moving to keep it on it's place for you to be able to look through the glass bottom

Our Glass Bottom Boat will bring you to one of the most beautiful spots in Paphos, where the water is crystal clear and more blue as the Blue Lagoon, for swimming and snorkeling.
