Really act like you are on vacation as your included 30 - 40 minute transfer from the cruise terminal takes haggling with taxi drivers out of the equation. Upon arrival at Simpson Bay, you will check in and usually have free time to take a beach walk or pick up any last minute items you may have forgotten such as sun screen.
With a group of no more than 15 guests, you will then board your 28 foot motor boat with sun shade and set off through the lagoon, along the beautiful coastline passing Marigot Harbor, Friar's Bay, Happy Bay and arrive at Creole Rock, off Grand Case. From here, you also have views of the island of Anguilla.
Creole Rock is a large rock formation with a reef extending towards the mainland, about a mile offshore. Waters are shallow and calm and provide excellent snorkeling. The boat moors over a large sandy patch, in about 8 feet of water. The site is a shallow one and the nearby reef life is abundant with chances of seeing the rare frogfish, puffer fish, occasional barracuda and many different varieties of reef fish.
For the novice or non-snorkeler, floatation belts, and float boards are available for your enjoyment.
A large cooler provides sodas throughout your trip. When you are done snorkeling, beer, French bread and Gouda cheese are served to happy hungry snorkelers during the scenic boat ride back to Simpson Bay. From here, you will be transferred back to the cruise pier.
Please note: Boat does not have a restroom on board. Snorkel gear is provided. Due to heavy traffic on the island, guests should not choose the afternoon departure if their ship sails before 6:00 PM
