The jet boat is a great experience for those who like excitement! This is also the recommended option for passengers concerned about possible sea-sickness.

The glass bottom tour is more leisurely and offers the opportunity for passengers to move between a covered lower deck and upper open-air deck. And, of course, there is the hugely popular magnified view through the glass portals in the ship’s hull.

There are washrooms at the main dock where you leave the boat and at the Lightkeeper’s Station.

You will visit two shipwrecks on your tour. Both shipwrecks are located at the end of Big Tub Harbour.
