After we say our goodbyes to the Ellington family, we hop back into the boat & stop at an incredible snorkel spot before we get back to Bocastown! This spot hosts a dazzling population of corals, a colourful array of sponges & all manner of young fish that depend on the protection of the reef & mangroves. This is a multi-ecosystem stop, snorkelling the coral reef, seagrass bed & mangrove forest edge. I'll shed light in depth on what species we see and we'll discuss as to how the combination of these three habitats are crucial to the health of our oceans. Special sightings may include parrotfish, 60 species of colourful sponge, barracuda, jacks, cowfish, Caribbean whiptail ray, upsidown jellyfish & a vast array of filter feeding invertebrates that thrive in these calm, life-giving waters. It is simply astonishing to see the number of different species in one square metre of reef. We will jump in the water from the boat & climb up a ladder back into the boat after we're done snorkelling.

For our final stop, guests can opt to be dropped off at the Floating Bar with Yours Truly, if you're interested in having drinks and/or a bite to eat with your guide. Here's where you can ask any other questions you might have about Bocas nature and culture. For snorkelling, this location is super, and in a spot that looks quite a bit different than our Dolphin Bay snorkel stop! While we're together, you'll have chance to use the mask/snorkels (included) but because this is the end of the day's tour and just a fun stop if you're interested, I won't be guiding snorkellers. However, I will have a fish guidebook we can peruse together!
