Description:

Discover magnificently colored coral reefs, dazzling marine line, and a coral-covered shipwreck on your comprehensive snorkeling adventure.

Begin the day by snorkeling above a picturesque sunken tugboat in placid, protected waters. The wreck sits upright in 20 feet (6 m) of water with the wheelhouse only 5 feet (1.5 m) beneath the surface. After 3 decades beneath the waves, the skeletal hull is encrusted with coral and is home to Christmas tree worms, which look like trees with radiant neon branches.

Accustomed to the frequent human visitors, the area teems with tropical fish that are used to being fed and are amenable to being photographed. Swim around to your heart’s content, or just lie still and take a break in the warm, gentle waves.

Afterward, your guide drives you nearby to a charming bay with calm water and great snorkeling opportunities. A shallow terrace runs between 15 and 25 feet (4.5–7.5 m) deep with healthy coral, diverse fish, and even some well-camouflaged seahorses. Dry off before your final stop at Fort Beekenburg to enjoy a nature walk featuring breathtaking views of Barbara Beach.
