<p>Your Coral Safari adventure begins at the jetty near the Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex in Port Blair. Board the 140-seat semi-submarine and enjoy the fresh sea breeze as it cruises towards North Bay Island, passing Ross Island and the famous North Bay lighthouse. Once you reach the reef, step down into the air-conditioned underwater cabin and take a seat beside its large, slanted glass windows. As the vessel moves slowly over the coral gardens, watch parrotfish, clownfish, butterflyfish and colourful corals glide past, like a giant moving aquarium. A guide explains the marine life in simple language. You stay completely dry the whole time, which makes it a relaxing, family-friendly ride for kids, seniors and non-swimmers alike.</p>
