Snorkel with turtles after the morning boats have gone home.
Trade the hotel bar for the best seat on the west coast. At 2:45 PM, when the snorkel spots are usually quieter than in the morning, this catamaran heads out of Bridgetown with no more than 14 guests on board.
First the turtles: hawksbill and green turtles surface in calm water along the coast while the afternoon light cuts through to the sand. The second stop is Carlisle Bay’s shipwrecks or a quiet reef, depending on the sea. Masks, fins and floats are ready, and the crew swims with anyone new to snorkeling. Then the rum punch comes out, the canapes keep coming, and the boat sails the west coast as the light turns gold. From November to January the sun goes down while you are still on the water; the rest of the year you sail back in the golden hour.
We recommend this cruise for couples, honeymooners and friends who want the water, the turtles and the sunset in one afternoon - without a 5-hour day. Families with kids from 4 years old are welcome.
