Water Sports

Escorted or self-guided, kayak tours are a wonderful introduction to the island’s ecosystems. Routes are along white-sand beaches, exploring mangroves and stopping at uninhabited cays. Snorkelers can swim above underground caves, or into “The Crack” at Tiamo, a deep water-filled fault line. You'll feel like you’re flying through the Grand Canyon only very different: because it’s filled with fish.
