If you're not into snorkeling or diving, you might want to consider taking a glass-bottom boat tour to see the underwater world without getting wet. A glass-bottom boat comes with transparent sections, usually made of glass or similar materials, positioned below the waterline. This allows passengers to appreciate unobstructed views of the underwater environment directly from the boat. Unlike observing the water from the surface, the perspective offered by the glass bottom removes visual distortions caused by surface disruptions, providing a clear and uninterrupted viewing experience. The price range for this tour is approximately IDR 850k to 950k (USD 55 to 60).
