Lily Beach Resort and Spa Maldives has introduced glass bottom canoes.

The translucent canoe allows guests to take a glimpse of the ocean underneath, while keeping them comfortably seated and dry. It offers a truly unique perspective of the ocean and tops the must-do activity lists of guests – especially those who are not strong swimmers yet still wish to fulfil their dream of being able to marvel at Maldives’ sea life they have heard so much about.

“Lily’s see-through canoes have become a big hit at the resort, with guest expressing their amazement at all the creatures that swam just below them,” an announcement by the resort read.

A glass bottom canoe can be rented for 30 minutes for USD 15+ while it can also be booked for an hour for USD 25+.

The see-through canoes complement the already exciting array of water sports and excursions offered by Lily Beach, including the Penguin semi-submarine excursions.

Set on the island of Huvahendhoo in South Ari Atoll, Lily Beach is a 25-minute seaplane ride away from the main Velana International Airport. This five-star luxury resort, which perfected the Platinum All-Inclusive holiday experience, features 125 villas — both on land and over water — with private decks and open-air bathrooms with jacuzzis, canopy beds, glass floors and plunge pools. 

In close proximity to some of the most amazing dive sites in the world, Lily Beach also offers a wide range of recreational activities and plenty of relaxation options.
