About this tour

You'll drift over reefs teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, and coral formations in clear turquoise water. The boat has plenty of deck space and a sun roof for between-water breaks. Gear is supplied—mask, fins, snorkel—and the tour welcomes swimmers of varying confidence, including those with mobility considerations.

What to expect
You'll board a well-equipped boat with shade and ample room to move about. After a briefing from your guide, you'll enter the water in shallow reef zones first, then move to deeper spots if comfortable. Visibility is typically excellent. Most time is spent in the water with brief surface intervals. The boat crew stays nearby and checks on everyone regularly. Water temperature is warm year-round, though a light rash guard helps with sun protection.
Good to know
Bring your own towel and snacks. You'll need moderate fitness and must be able to swim; poor cardiovascular health makes this unsuitable. Reef shoes are wise for entering rocky shallows. Sunscreen should be reef-safe.
