Adventures

Bioluminescent Bay Kayaking Tours

Best if you are visiting during a new moon phase, the darker the skies the better! A boat tour is also available if kayaking is not an option for your group - those spots do tend to book quickly so reserve today!

Snorkeling/Boat Tours

Consider taking a day trip to explore even smaller islands and vibrant sea life.
