The catamaran chops a steady wake under a wide Caribbean sky as salt and sun set the rhythm. Palm-fringed shorelines recede and the turquoise opens, inviting you toward the Blue Lagoon — a pocket of clear, calm water that dares you to slow down and dive in.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin — sunscreens labeled 'reef-safe' reduce chemical runoff into lagoons and reefs.
Wear water shoes
Decks, reefs and lagoon edges are slippery and sharp; lightweight water shoes protect feet on boat ladders and trails.
Know your swim comfort level
Basic swimming ability is required for snorkeling and lagoon swims; choose a tour slot that matches your confidence in open water.

Hydration and keeping essentials dry make the trip more enjoyable — refillable bottles reduce plastic waste onboard.
