The experience

The day starts on the water. You board a pontoon boat and cruise through Caribbean waters to snorkeling sites where the reef and fish populations are the draw: colorful marine life and thriving coral are what you're in the water to see. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and the boat stays at each site long enough to explore without rushing.

After the water work, you head to Henry Morgan Beach Resort for the second half of the day. Lunch is included. You have full access to the resort's amenities: beach chairs on the sand, the pool, and the warm Caribbean water itself. The pace here is entirely yours: swim, float, read, or simply sit. An air-conditioned vehicle brings you back when the day ends.

The tour runs four hours total and operates in English, Spanish and French. Children from age 5 can join. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and all resort surfaces and areas are accessible as well.

Is this one for you?Book this if you're staying without a car or at a hotel away from West Bay: the vehicle and pontoon pickup solve the transport problem, and the fixed schedule means you don't arrange the reef sites or the beach stop yourself. The four-hour span lets you snorkel in the morning and still have a full afternoon at the resort pool.
