Flagship trips include the Peanut Island Boat & Snorkel Tour, which features guided snorkeling at Peanut Island with optional add-ons; the Peanut Island Sunset Cruise aboard FINS UP; and the Guided Snorkel Tour at Blue Heron Bridge, a shallow-water site known for abundant marine life and beach access. Freediving programs include Discover Freediving, a beginner-focused course teaching breathing, relaxation, and water-entry techniques, and a themed Become A Mermaid session led by PADI-certified instructor Keke McBride. The Sea-to-Plate offering combines sustainable spearfishing with a hands-on ceviche workshop and coastal views.
All experiences emphasize local knowledge and small-group formats. Guided tours are led by professionals with freediving or dive instruction backgrounds when indicated.

Guests receive practical guidance, equipment options, and clear pre-trip information.
