PickupAt your hotel

Three separate reef sites in a single morning, each one a different coral and fish population.

This 4-hour snorkel tour departs from Marigot Bay Marina and visits three marine reserves—Anse Cochon, Anse Mamin, and Sugar Beach—with 30 minutes of water time at each site. A car picks you up from your hotel or meeting point, takes you to the marina, and a live English-speaking guide leads the boat between sites. Bottled water and all snorkeling equipment are included; you need to be a comfortable swimmer and at least 13 years old. A minimum of four travelers is required to confirm the departure.

The Experience

The day starts with a car pickup from your accommodation and a drive to Marigot Bay Marina, where you board the boat with your guide and fellow snorkelers. Each of the three sites—Anse Cochon, Anse Mamin, and Sugar Beach—sits in its own marine reserve, so the coral formations and fish populations shift between stops. You get 30 minutes in the water at each location, which means you are moving through three distinct underwater landscapes rather than anchoring at one.

What makes the three-site format work is that the boat handles the travel between them. You are not swimming to reach new reefs; you are dropped at each reserve and can focus on the water itself. The guide stays with the group and points out what is worth noticing—the species, the coral structure, the behavior of the schools moving through. Bottled water is on the boat between sites, and all your snorkeling gear is provided, so you show up with nothing but a swimsuit and a willingness to be in the water for the better part of four hours.

The tour requires a minimum group of four to run, so confirm your booking early if you are traveling solo or as a pair. You need to be a strong swimmer—the description does not specify current strength or depth, but the marine reserve setting and the pace of three stops in four hours suggests these are not sheltered lagoons. Children are welcome from age 13 onward. If your hotel or accommodation is outside the standard pickup zones around Marigot Bay, there is an additional charge for the car to reach you.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to see multiple reef systems in one morning and prefer a guided boat experience over a single-site anchor. The three-stop format works best for snorkelers who are comfortable in open water and want variety rather than depth at one location.
