St. Kitts Southeast Peninsula Kayak Snorkel Tour: Frigate Bay

Paddle the quiet side of St. Kitts, snorkel where the fish are, and end on sand with a chair waiting.

This 4-hour kayak and snorkel activity on St. Kitts' Southeast Peninsula combines paddling along the scenic coastline with a snorkeling stop in a vibrant cove and beach time at Frigate Bay. You get a 2-person XL ocean kayak, snorkeling equipment, roundtrip pickup from Marriott, and a beach chair with local juices and seasonal fruit at the end. The tour is designed for all skill levels and welcomes children from age 8, with a live English-speaking guide leading the way.

The Experience

The tour starts with a safety briefing before you paddle out along the southeastern coast, where the views open onto the Caribbean and the crowds thin out. The route takes you past lush landscapes and quieter stretches of water—the kind of coastline most visitors miss because they stay on the main beaches. You'll paddle at a pace that works for beginners and experienced kayakers alike; the guide adjusts to the group.

The snorkeling stop happens in a calm cove where the water stays clear and shallow enough to see the marine life without fighting current or surge. You'll spot fish moving through the coral and reef, and the guide points out what's there. After you've had time in the water, you paddle back to the kayak and head to Frigate Bay Beach, where a beach chair is already set up for you. This is where the pace shifts—no more paddling, just sitting. Local juices and seasonal fruit arrive, and you have time to dry off and settle into the sand before the return to Marriott.

The whole thing runs 4 hours from pickup to drop-off. Roundtrip transportation from Marriott is included, so you don't arrange a separate ride. The kayak is a 2-person XL, which means stable and roomy—not a tippy single. Snorkeling gear comes with you, and the guide stays in English throughout. Children can join from age 8 onward.
