 Antigua

KAYAK, SNORKEL AND HIKE HALF DAY ECO-ADVENTURE
$58 Per Person and $36 for Children under 12

Kayakers of all abilities are welcome to experience the beauty, the nature and the fun of this half day trip. You will take a 25 minute drive from the ship's dock through the local villages and serene countryside before arriving at an Antiguan-style house at Seatons Village on the East Coast. From the clubhouse, take a short ride by power boat to begin your kayak adventure. Your experienced guide will explain basic paddling techniques for your 2 person sit-on-top style kayak before you set off for the "middle of nowhere" to a mangrove habitat. You'll visit inlets, coves and tiny uninhabited islands, home to turtles, stingray, parrot fish, and many other beautiful sea creatures. After almost an hour of kayaking, if you still have energy left, you may participate in a friendly kayak race (do your best, there will be awards for the winners!).

You'll board the power boat again for the ride to the North Sound Marine Park, including a stop at uninhabited Bird Island. Here you'll enjoy an easy hike to a cliff top cave to view nesting grounds of off shore birds and see rare animals and gorgeous vistas. Bird Island is also known for it's spectacular reef, so strap on your snorkel gear and explore the undersea wonders. If you're a first time snorkeler, your patient guide will be happy to instruct you in the proper technique. If relaxing on the beach is more your style, you may take this time to build a sand castle or bury your toes in the soft white sand.

Heading back to the Antiguan clubhouse, you will find freshly made banana bread, rum and fruit punch and refreshing aromatherapy towels waiting for you. And the moment you've all been waiting for...awards for the winner of the kayak race will be presented!!
