This is a very colorful area, clear waters, and it has a lot of marine life with its coral reefs. Enjoy diving and snorkeling here as well. The island’s underwater world is much less developed than those of other Caribbean islands and that means more peaceful wonder for you to enjoy. One of the favoured dive sites is Champagne Reef, so named for its warm, bubbly waters created by volcanic heat.

This unhurried fresh-water river makes its way through dense mangroves and a tropical jungle, offering paddlers a chance to get lost in the island’s wilds. The tour also has some local history to share as the river was used in a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Local guides share tales of the river’s significance to the indigenous Kalinago people and its place in colonial trade. As you paddle, look for colorful birds and amphibians, even the occasional iguana. Go on the Champagne Reef Snorkeling Tour + unwind at Jacoway Inn after a kayaking experience for more adventures.
