Stop 1
We usually stop twice during the day both; stops are in the Caribbean Sea. We don’t go into the Atlantic Ocean. At the first we snorkel, paddle board, kayak, swim to the beach, hang with noodles.....and have lunch. We shop each morning. Marinated chicken skewers, captain grilled, green salad, baguette, lovely Caribbean rice. Would you like a rum punch with that?
At the second stop we swing from the Tarzan swing. Those between 2 and 89 have enjoyed this easy, safe and super fun trapeze-type swing.
The bar is always open and included and if you are hungry after swinging - or laughing - have a snack!
2
This could be the first stop or it could be the second stop depending on the day and the conditions of the sea.
