Snorkeling Tours Offer Adventure For Everyone
The coral reef of the island offers an amazing opportunity for anyone to mingle with the marine life calling it home. Since snorkeling doesn't require any sort of certification and much of the coral reef is in the shallows where swimming skill isn't a major issue, snorkeling tours offer a great adventure for everyone.
Schools of thousands of brilliantly colored tropical fish will dart around you as you look for hermit crabs, spiny lobsters, crustaceans, anemones, eagle rays, stingrays, sea turtles, dolphins, sharks, and even 200-pound jewfish.
These sea creatures are used to human interaction and are unafraid, making it an excellent opportunity for taking pictures with an underwater camera. Snorkeling tours can also take you to explore several shipwrecks in the shallow waters where you can see how nature has taken these ships in and made them a home.
Dolphin Tours Are Breathtaking
Dolphins have fascinated humans throughout history and they seem to be just as fascinated with us. These intelligent creatures have rescued us from drowning, helped us catch fish, and even enjoy entertaining us with their delightful personalities and antics. Local dolphin tours bring you up close to these incredible animals, providing an amazing experience to remember.
