Imagine gliding over pristine turquoise waters with only the sounds of nature around you. Stopping to snorkel beautiful sites, either from the beach or from your kayak, with your guide at your side.

Along the way you'll look for turtles, rays, schools of fish, and coral life from your kayak. You may even see dugong (May to July) and dolphins.
