Boat day · Offshore reefsOpen official guideA day that works
Less guessing.
More island.
Begin the water session
Use the cooler morning for snorkeling, paddling, or the first boat departure.
Return to shade and food
Choose a beach with amenities or move into Red Hook for a relaxed late lunch.
Before you go
Know before you go.
Choose shore or boat first
A shore day is flexible and budget-friendly; a guided boat expands the reef access and handles gear and navigation.
Match confidence to conditions
Beginners do best with calm entries, flotation options, and a guide who can explain the reef and current.
Confirm before leaving
Island hours, weather, availability, and access can change. Check directly before making a special trip.
