Glass Bottom Boat

OVERVIEW

Cruise through the sheltered waters of Acapulco Bay in a glass-bottom boat that allows you to clearly see the underwater wonders without getting wet. You can expect to observe an ever-changing parade of colorful marine life that may include bright-blue Cortez damselfish, banded wrasses, queen angelfish and neon-colored parrotfish. You may even spot sea turtles gracefully swimming by. Near the entrance to the bay, you will pause for a good look at the Virgin of the Seas, a sculpture of the revered Virgin of Guadalupe that was submerged there in 1959. You will disembark at Palmitas Beach on the neighboring island of La Roqueta, where you will be free to relax however you wish. You might take a refreshing swim in the crystalline waters and snorkel if you want to continue exploring the marine life. As an leisurely alternative, you can just walk along the shore and admire the gorgeous scenery.
