The experience

You arrive at the dock and board a private catamaran sized for your group of up to five people. An expert crew handles the boat while you decide what the day looks like: snorkeling in the clear water, watching for dolphins, relaxing in the natural pool, or a mix of all three. The crew brings snorkeling equipment and sets up an open bar with your choice of drinks throughout the half-day on the water.

The three stops let you move at your own pace instead of following a fixed schedule. Snorkeling happens in shallow, clear water where the marine life is visible without deep diving. The natural pool (a low, calm spot in the middle of the ocean) gives you a place to float and recover between stops. Music plays throughout, and you can request what you want to hear.

Transportation picks you up from your hotel and brings you back when the half-day ends, so you don't arrange a separate ride to the dock. Bring your own towel and sunscreen. Everything else (the boat, the equipment, the drinks, the crew's attention) travels with you.
