Standard glass-bottom boat tours typically visit three main locations in the marine park. The entire trip usually takes 2 to 2.5 hours.
Most boat operators follow a set path through the 7-square-kilometer Buccoo Reef Marine Park. You will observe live corals, swim in waist-deep water, and visit a nearby sandy spit.
30-45 minutesBring your own snorkel mask
This protected marine area features live corals like brain and starlet coral. You will also see exotic tropical fish. Snorkel in the water or view the marine life through the boat's glass bottom. Bring your own snorkel mask if you prefer not to use the shared gear provided.
30-45 minutesDepth is around 1 meter (3.2 feet)
This waist-deep sandbar sits directly in the ocean. The water is clear, and the coral sand is soft. The water temperature averages 26°C to 29°C (79°F to 84°F) year-round. Rub the sand on your skin; local legend claims it makes you look ten years younger.
1-2 hoursNo facilities available
This uninhabited sandy spit borders the Bon Accord Lagoon. Many tours stop here for beach BBQs, rum punch, and sunbathing. Bring everything you need and take all trash with you. There are no permanent facilities on this beach.
