Trip Itinerary & Schedule
Snorkelling at carefully selected reef sites at the islands with around 1 hour to snorkel and explore a location, before moving onto a second spot. You have time at each location to snorkel, swim, explore the island or relax on board, all at your own pace.
(Please note that May - October the islands beaches are closed to allow turtles and birds to nest undisturbed, so it is not possible to walk on the islands, but the snorkelling at this time of year is fantastic, so still well worth the visit).
