View The Spectacular Coral Reef From A Glass Bottom Boat

browse (1 / 5)

When in the Seychelles, many of your daily activities revolve around the ocean. The Indian Ocean surrounding the islands is known for being particularly inviting; warm and translucent all year round.

Another reason that many holidaymakers choose to spend their days in the water is the spectacular marine life that thrives here. Surrounded by coral reef, the oceans are teeming with colorful coral and magnificent fish. Over 1000 species have been spotted in the waters that surround the many islands.

In order to see the coral reef up close, you can go snorkeling or diving. But if you would rather avoid the strong currents, or the dangers of the sharp coral, or even an irrational fear of fish brushing up against you, taking a boat trip is the best way to see the sea life. Glass bottomed boats are a great way to experience the coral reef and marine life. From this vantage point, you can enjoy the beauty of the fish while the operator can tell you more about what you are seeing.

One of the best locations for travelers who are keen to see the coral reef is in the ocean around Silhouette Island. This Island is a Marine National Park, so the fish and brightly colored coral are at their most brilliant here. Of course it’s not just the fish that are so fascinating in this area. The Seychelles are home to some of the world’s last sea turtles, who were saved from near extinction by the conservation efforts undertaken in the area.
