This curated half-day tour balances wildlife, reef time, and beach comfort with private logistics for cruise passengers.

You step off the tender into warm island air, palms moving like a slow applause as your private driver guides you toward a small ecological park inland. The canopy hums; a sloth lifts an unhurried eye, macaws call across the clearing, and a guide points out how the island’s human story braided with seafaring and plantation eras.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe SPF liberally before arrival and reapply on the beach—chemical sunscreens harm coral; mineral options are preferred.
Bring or size your own mask
Though snorkel equipment is provided, a well-fitted personal mask prevents fogging and uncomfortable leaks underwater.
Hydrate and shade up
Tropical sun is stronger than it feels; drink water between activities and use the resort’s shaded areas to avoid heat fatigue.
Respect wildlife and coral
Do not touch animals or coral and follow your guide’s instructions to minimize stress on marine and terrestrial species.
