The cruise runs three hours and includes WiFi, air conditioning and onboard restrooms.Is it for me?Three hours is long enough to reach Cape Greco and spend real time swimming at the Blue Lagoon, but short enough to fit into a morning or afternoon without eating the whole day. If you want to see the underwater world without snorkeling gear or diving certification, the glass bottom does that from your seat.
