Cove Snorkel & Coastal Sail Safari
Pristine Coral Gardens, Marine Life & Turquoise Shallows
Excursion Overview
Escape the crowds and discover St. Kitts' most pristine underwater sanctuaries. Shitten Bay is a remote volcanic inlet on the southern tip of the island that is inaccessible by road, preserving its untouched underwater ecosystems. Glide effortlessly under canvas across azure waters before mooring in the sheltered bay. Put on your premium snorkel gear and slip into water as clear as glass. Follow your certified snorkel guide along healthy coral shelves where hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, parrotfish, and trumpetfish thrive. After your swim, climb back aboard for cold refreshments, music, and an open bar.
Key Highlights:
- Access secluded Shitten Bay, unreachable by road or ground transport
- Snorkel above vibrant coral formations, volcanic boulders, and ship ballast stones
- High probability of encounters with sea turtles, rays, and trumpetfish
- Full open bar unlocked right after the snorkeling portion of the trip
- Ideal duration (3.5 hours) leaving the rest of your day open for island exploration
