More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the 24-foot watercraft into a pocket of Bahamas sunlight: shallow turquoise shelving away from the hull, fish darting around the ghostly ribs of a shipwreck, and the slow, measured glide of a stingray cutting the sand. The day starts with an easy cruise across calm sea-blues toward the Sapona wreck, an early concrete freighter now colonized by corals and schooling fish, then swings to the sheltered inlet known locally as Honeymoon Harbour for close encounters with rays and reef sharks.

The Sapona is a concrete-hulled shipwreck from the 1920s that ran aground and later became part of local rum-running lore before reef colonization.
Conservation
Coral reefs here are fragile; operators encourage reef-safe products, no-touch policies and proper buoyancy to reduce physical damage.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply mineral-based, reef-safe sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and maintain visibility in the water.
Bring a secure dry bag
Keep phones, keys, and wallets in a small dry bag clipped to the boat — waves and snorkeling swaps are frequent.
Watch for boat traffic
Stay with the guide in open channels; visibility is good but boats move quickly between sites.
Respect wildlife distance
Do not chase or touch stingrays and sharks; let them approach on their terms for safer photo ops.
Mask & snorkel (or well-fitting set provided)
A comfortable mask that seals well improves visibility and enjoyment on reef swims.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and prevents sunburn during exposed boat and beach time.
