Jamaica - Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Okay I'm thinking this will be the last installment of Jamaica 07, are you sick of it yet?  LOL  This tour was one that as soon as I heard about it I knew Daelyn would love.  It was supposed to be two hours long, consisting of a short bus ride to Montego Bay Pier One where we would board a Glass Bottom type of boat to go look at the sea life in the area.

We met the bus that morning around 10 and the ride was a little longer than expected.  We had to stop at two other resorts, which took us around 45 minutes.  Hmmm.......   We got to Pier One which looked like a wonderful restaurant and if we go again (without kids) we'd definitately be trying it out!  

Here is the boat we were on:


We had a short boat ride out to the reef (drinks were supplied) and then were all lead down some stairs to the viewing area.  This was so exciting for the kids.  Everything was so easy for them to see, the coral, and the different kinds of fish.  The best part was when they had a diver go down with some bread and feed the fish.  He swam in front of the glass windows and we got to see the fish swarm him like crazy.  Pictures weren't the best but I got a neat video.


We lost her hat somewhere earlier in the week :( but she gladly wore my Jamaica bandana so she didn't burn her bean!









The best part was the little Daelyn size toilet they had on board.  LOLOL  Crazy how priorities change when you become a parent.  She actually went pee on the boat because the toilet was made "just her size"  Ah yes..... anyway!

Then they stopped and let whomever wanted to, snorkle.  We hadn't planned on this and while only two people actually did, we had to wait for them.  So our 2 hour tour turned into 5 hours!!!  Let's just say when we got back to the resort at 3 pm we were a little more than hungry.  All in all it was a fun tour, but maybe a little misleading. :(
