Paddle boarding and snorkeling are the best ways to get on and in the water. You will never get closer to nature. So close you can reach out and touch everything.

This is the perfect activity for beginners or experienced snorkelers and paddlers. You don't even need to know how to swim. If you are feeling nervous while snorkeling just stand up. The crystal clear waters around the island are only about waist to chest deep. Plus we'll be there right by your side to teach and make sure you are safe and comfortable while in the water.
Of course the best part of snorkeling around the island is all the fish and wildlife you can see. Since the island is so close to a direct ocean inlet you can and will see many of the fish here that you would see out on the reef.
