You step off the van into salt-sweet air where mangroves fringe a low, sandy shore; the ocean ahead is a calm, shallow ribbon of turquoise that invites you in rather than demanding skill. The morning opens with a short walk to a local cave—weathered limestone that holds echoes of the island’s past—before the group moves to a sheltered reef where beginner-friendly snorkeling awaits.
