A private guide meets you and the group moves through a neighborhood of painted houses, pausing for a quick rum sample and a city-view lookout where the Caribbean stretches in a flat, daring sheet.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The tour ends at West Bay’s reef; choose mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral and avoid lotion transfer before snorkeling.
Hydrate and carry a bottle
Tropical sun and a 5–6 hour schedule make water important—refillable bottles minimize waste and keep energy up.

Walks to viewpoints and the tack-up area can be rocky or coralline; closed-toe shoes protect feet off the beach.
Notify for mobility or pregnancy
