Catamaran Sail & Snorkel Cruise

Our take: Slot this into day one or two. It’s the gentle way to meet the water and the coast, and the open bar doesn’t hurt.

Arikok National Park Jeep Safari

Arikok National Park Jeep Safari

Snorkeling the Antilla Shipwreck

3 · Malmok Beach · 3 Hours

Snorkeling the Antilla Shipwreck

Our take: The biggest wreck in the Caribbean, shallow enough for first-time snorkelers. A morning slot gives you the calmest water.
