THREE ISLAND SNORKELING ADVENTURE

  

Our St. Maarten Three Island Snorkeling Excursion takes you away from the crowds to the lesser visited locations of Tintamarre Island, Pinal Island and Green Key for incredible snorkeling, beaches and Volcanic Mud.  Awesome high quality 30ft offshore powerboats with powerful twin 225/250hp engines takes you on an exciting 3 stop snorkel adventure in style and comfort.

  
   Our vessels have music, comfortable seating for 14 guests, an open cooler with water and soda's,and easy access from the swim platform and transom door. They are immaculately kept and we take great pride in our boats and the quality of service we provide.
  

   We will firstly take you to the deserted Tintamar Island. This delightful location, is about four miles offshore and is a completely uninhabited “Robinson Crusoe” paradise island. It boasts deserted white sand beaches, sandstone cliffs, crystal clear waters, and is an ideal place to snorkel and spot turtles and rays.

       
   The boat anchors in shallow waters, and its an easy step off the comfortable boarding ladders at the rear of the boat and onto the beach. Here you can sunbathe, and explore the island.
     

   At your request, we will mix you a personal volcanic mud bath near the beach, said to take years off you, and in any case, great fun for all the family!. Daub it all over, take some funny photos, and then dash down to beach, dive in and wash off your personal mud pack. It feels great!

    Your next stop at Pinal Island is a delight, and apart from snorkeling we do, there is a very cool Tiki beach bar at this exotic location with great food and drinks under swaying palms. This was formerly a tiny French penal colony, from where it derives it name, and its now an exquisite little beach hangout, with great views & fantastic swimming in waist deep water, especially nice for kids. There is also a small well stocked gift shop at the bar, which the owner leaves wide open each night with a sign “please don’t take anything”. Some things must have changed since the days of the penal colony!  One of our favorite little hideaways.

   Then its off to Green Key for your final snorkel experience. This tiny spit of land, with an ancient lighthouse, has plenty marine life, and again, very clear visibility for snorkeling and getting up close to the tropical fish.
 

   You will then blast back to Oyster Pond Marina, a very pretty little cove and mini marina area, for your return to your resort or the cruise terminal.
