The experience

You step aboard a locally owned 30ft racing-style catamaran with the music on and the snorkel gear ready. Your certified guide leads you into the water, where the reef shows tropical fish, rays, corals and shipwrecks below you. Turtles turn up sometimes, but they are wild, so the crew cannot promise them.

When you have had your fill of swimming, the boat turns for a relaxing cruise along the scenic coastline. A complimentary rum punch goes into your hand while the captain points out notable landmarks on the west coast. Light drinks and snacks are on board too, so the afternoon stays easy and unhurried.
