The Experience

The boat leaves Buccoo Jetty and heads straight to Buccoo Reef, where the corals and fish are visible enough to see without diving deep. You get in the water with provided snorkeling gear and spend time at the reef before the group moves to the second stop at Nylon Pool. From there the tour continues to No Man's Land Pass near Pigeon Point, working along the coast toward the Lagoon. Five distinct stops means the day breaks into separate moments instead of one long drift, and the guide handles the navigation and timing.

The Boston Whaler carries a maximum of ten people, which keeps the boat maneuverable and the group small enough that the guide can see everyone in the water. Bottled water is provided throughout the three hours. You bring your own swimsuit and towel; snorkeling equipment—mask, fins, snorkel—is supplied. Infants must sit on a parent's lap during the boat ride. The tour runs at a pace suitable for all fitness levels, so prior snorkeling experience is not required.
