Champagne Reef & Snorkel

Swim Among Volcanic Bubbles and Colorful Coral Grab a snorkel and fins for a memorable dive among one of the Caribbean’s best snorkeling spots—Champagne Reef. Perched on the edge of a submerged volcano, the reef earned its name from the underwater geothermal springs that vent volcanic gases from the sandy bottom to the surface. On arrival, a Professional Association of Dive Instructors-certified guide will explain how to use your snorkel gear and what you are likely to see in the water. Then, embark by RIB, an open air boat, for your snorkeling destination. The reef is home to a wide variety of aquatic life, including vibrant sponges, lobster, iridescent parrot fish, hawksbill turtles and squid. Dip below the azure waters and explore the extensive coral formations as you swim through a bubbling curtain of warm, volcanic gas, which gives the impression of swimming in a glass of Champagne. Afterward, return to port and your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
