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!!
