Peterson Cay Kayak and Snorkel Tour Overview

Experience the unparalleled joy of living on your own tropical island paradise for a day, with our tour that takes you out to remote, Peterson Cay for a day of kayaking, snorkeling and chilling out on the beach. Peterson Cay, which is one of the Bahamas’ most diminutive national parks, lies only a short mile from the southernmost coast of Grand Bahama Island.

This trip is perfect for practiced or novice kayakers; we will provide you with a very brief training session explaining the basics of how to paddle and also on how to stay safe while out on the water. In no time, you will be able to push into the sea in one of our steady kayaks, which seat two people, and take a half-hour jaunt to an isolated beach on the northern coast of Peterson Cay. Once you get there, feel free to lay out on the gorgeous, pristine sand, soak in the tropical sunshine and stare out into the tranquil sea; all of your stress and worries will simply melt away. Let the island breeze cleanly caress your skin and refresh your senses as your forget about your everyday frustrations.

The low level of the water surrounding Peterson Cay also makes it a perfect place for snorkeling. Let our professional and well-informed guides give you a quick lesson on how to use the snorkeling gear and then you will be ready to witness the beauty that lies just below the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. Delight in an astonishing display of undersea life as you witness stunning gardens of coral and limestone reefs containing sea fans, sponges and stretches of Elkhorn and soft corals. All of these are home to a dazzling variety of colorful tropical fish, elegant sting rays and fearsome barracuda.
