The experience

The day starts with beach pickup at 8:30am, and the catamaran leaves Bight Park at 8:40am. From there, you head out to Grace Bay for snorkeling, then move on to uninhabited white-sand beaches where you can swim and work on your tan on the boat's rooftop deck. The route includes a stop at Iguana Island (Little Water Cay), a nature reserve where you can see the endangered Rock Iguanas that live there.

Snorkeling equipment is provided, and the water activities are built into the pace of the day. You're not rushed between stops. Along the way, you'll have chances to spot sea turtles and other wildlife. The boat carries a maximum of 30 people, so it stays manageable even on a full departure.

Lunch is a hearty barbecue served on the boat: ribs, chicken, corn and dessert. Beverages run throughout the day: soda, water, beer and rum punch are all included. The full tour runs 7.5 hours from pickup to drop-off, so plan the rest of your day around a return to your beach location in the late afternoon.
