Many boat trips allow to discover the coast. To watch the sea bottom, to play with dolphins or to watch the whales in season.

Sitting under the sea level, you’ll go through the reef where hundreds of corals and colorful fishes live. These ships are shaped by a marine architect in order to offer a better quality of vision than the one you usually get with traditional glass-bottom boats. You’ll able to get safely closer to the seabed. Locally known as the « helicopters of the sea », they are the best way to enjoy fully the wealth of the submarine life resting on a unique volcanic site. Indeed, among the fishes, the volcanic faults lead you through the heart of the coral reef, now part of the Marine Park. The lava flows of the Piton des Neiges support the coral reef for almost 8000 years: you will play with butterflies or angels fishes, surgeon fishes, Convict cichlid, trumpets, and the luckiest will be able to swim with dolphins, turtles and rays!
