Mayreau, Catamaran-Cruise, Grenadines, Islands, Islets, White-Sand Beaches, Tobago Cays

Depart the pier aboard a comfortable catamaran for a scenic, approximately 40-minute cruise through part of the Grenadines archipelago, and past islands and islets with white-sand beaches, en route to the Tobago Cays. Home to some of the best snorkelling in the Caribbean, the Tobago Cays also offers a unique opportunity to swim amongst the turtles that inhabit the area.


National Marine Park, Five Inlets, Horseshoe Reef

Declared a National Marine Park, this exquisitely beautiful locale is comprised of five secluded inlets surrounded by the huge Horseshoe Reef. The high density of the reef, most of it in shallow waters, makes the area very attractive for marine life and an ideal setting for snorkelling enthusiasts. Upon arrival at the Tobago Cays, your catamaran drops anchor.


Swimming, Snorkelling, Colourful Coral, Tropical Fish, Marine Life, Sea Turtles

Next, approximately two hours are made available for snorkelling amidst the colourful coral, tropical fish, and marine life that inhabit these warm, crystal-clear waters. A stop is also made for a swim at the 'Turtle Spot', an area where carefree sea turtles roam unabashed by human visitors in their midst. Back on board, enjoy complimentary rum punch, fruit drinks, and water whilst immersing yourself in the beauty and tranquillity of your surrounds. Your tour concludes with an approximately 30-minute ride back to the pier.
