Your experience begins when you board a comfortable, covered, motorized boat. Admiring the island from the lagoon, just as the first explorers did in the 18th century. The old volcanic crater offers magnificent scenery of sharp peaks and high mountains, green valleys, pineapple plantations and lush forests.
Learn about the island's legends en route to one of the gorgeous, white sandy islets surrounded by crystal clear water, shallow enough to walk right off the boat onto the beach. Swim or snorkel in the turquoise lagoon or relax in the shade on the beach. One of the highlights will be when the local guides attract schools of sting rays from the lagoon. You are welcome to join in and play with these sea creatures. In exchange for a piece of fish, they will gracefully dance around you.
A delicious buffet-style lunch is served, accompanied by soft island music in the background. The entertainment includes music and a coconut-husking demonstration.
Transfer by motorized catamaran back to the ship.
Please note:
Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Participants must know how to swim and be comfortable wearing snorkeling equipment, being in deep water and coping with occasional currents. Expensive clothing or jewelry should not be worn on tour. The boat is covered. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Do not touch or step on the coral or touch marine animals. Wear aqua shoes. The boat may be wet; personal belongings and devices should be stored with caution. Wildlife sightings and the presence of rays are likely but are not guaranteed. Mask and snorkel provided. Do not touch or step on the coral.
