A low sun paints the west coast silver as skippers push the bow into open water; the boat cuts a clean line and the horizon widens.

2–3 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; must be comfortable swimming in open water and able to climb a ladder back onto a small boat.
No — sightings are common in Tamarin Bay, especially in the morning, but wild animals are unpredictable and no operator can guarantee contact.
You should be comfortable in open water; guides provide flotation and accompany swimmers, but participants must be able to enter and exit the water and tread if needed.
Most operators supply masks, snorkels and life vests; bringing your own mask improves fit and fog resistance.
Pickup is private and typically from hotels, B&Bs or apartments on the island; confirm your pickup time and location when you book.
