Semi-submarine Guide

Welcome to The Golden Sun B&B. We collaborate with local water activity providers in Liuqiu to offer a variety of water-based experiences. The glass-bottom boat (semi-submarine) is a family-friendly activity that allows you to enjoy the underwater world without diving, making it perfect for those new to water activities. We provide comprehensive information and guidance to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable glass-bottom boat experience.

What is a Semi-submarine Boat?

A glass-bottom boat, also known as a semi-submarine, is a unique sightseeing vessel combining features of both a boat and a submersible. Its lower half is submerged in the water and equipped with large glass windows, allowing passengers to clearly observe the underwater world. This activity requires no diving experience and is an ideal choice for exploring marine ecology. The history of glass-bottom boats dates back to the early 20th century, and they have become a popular recreational activity as the tourism industry has developed.

What Equipment is on a Semi-submarine?

Glass-bottom boats are well-equipped to provide a comfortable and safe sightseeing experience. Key equipment includes:

Hull: Durable and stable, suitable for navigation in various water conditions.
Glass Windows: High-clarity glass providing clear underwater views.
Seating: Comfortable seats allowing passengers to enjoy the view of the seabed.
Safety Equipment: Life jackets and emergency equipment to ensure passenger safety.

Choosing the right glass-bottom boat route is important. Liuqiu offers several scenic routes, each with unique features to meet different passenger preferences.

What Activities are Offered on the Semi-submarine ?

Audio Guide: The tour includes a guide (or audio narration) that provides engaging and educational commentary on the underwater ecosystem in a humorous and informative manner.

Environmental Protection and Your Responsibility

Liuqiu is home to a precious marine ecosystem, and we urge every snorkeler to respect and protect this beautiful sea.

Please follow environmental protection guidelines: do not touch the coral reefs or marine life, and let's work together to preserve this blue paradise.

Avoid using spray-on sunscreens, as they can harm the ocean, leading to coral bleaching and death. Choose physical sunscreens, biodegradable, and reef-safe products instead.

Refrain from using single-use plastics, and always take your trash with you from the beach.
