What is this tour like?
Three hours on a shared catamaran with three stops: snorkelling over the reef, an untouched beach where fresh coconuts are cut, and a natural pool. $79 per person with hotel pick-up and gear.
The day begins with a pick-up from your hotel and a short drive to the beachside meeting point, where the safety briefing is given. The first stop is the snorkelling: the team leads the group under the water to look at the tropical fish. The second is a beach with nobody on it, where the crew opens coconuts straight from the tree. The day ends at a natural pool, a shallow sandbank where the drinks keep coming.
The boat takes between one and sixty-five people, so this is the shared format rather than a private charter. Everything you need is in the fare — the transfer both ways, the snorkelling equipment, drinks and snacks — and the operator states there are no hidden fees.
Two things to note before booking: the minimum drinking age on board is 18, and the operator also runs an adults-only party version of the same cruise if you would rather not share the deck with families.
What are the highlights?
