A boat will take you across to the bay where you can spend either half a day or the whole day out at sea, floating about or trying out some deep-sea fishing. The waters off the coast are teeming with a myriad of fish including the Spanish Mackerel, Sailfish, GT, (Great Trevally, Jack Trevally) Snapper, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi which are quite common in addition to the rare Marlins and Swordfish.

Managing Expectations

“ It is important to remember that, whilst they are experts in their field, the people who run or host our experiences are not necessarily used to working in the tourism industry and may not offer the level of service you would find at a five-star hotel. For example, instead of a formal lecture, you may get a relaxed conversation where open discussion is encouraged. All of our hosts are, however, extremely engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about educating visitors about their chosen subject and we have worked with them to ensure that they deliver worthwhile, fulfilling experiences. We welcome feedback, so please let us know what you thought and if you think any improvements could be made to the experiences we offer. ”
