Sand Dollar Half Day Snorkel Cruise St. Martin

A captivating half-day snorkeling excursion to the French portion of St. Martin offers an enriching experience combining swimming, snorkeling, and panoramic views.

Sand Dollar is an exceptional half-day excursion featuring panoramic sightseeing, captivating snorkeling experiences, and serene swimming opportunities. Our crew, particularly Captain Nevison Jr., has consistently been commended for their outstanding service. During this voyage, guests traverse the lagoon, admire our picturesque coastline, and explore the enchanting Creole Rock, located approximately one mile offshore, where the waters are gently shallower and more inviting for snorkelling enthusiasts.

Creole Rock is characterized by its substantial rocky outcrop adorned with vibrant coral formations, extending several hundred meters into the sea. The crystal-clear waters here are ideal for snorkelling, as they remain exceptionally shallow (typically no deeper than eight feet) and maintain a soothing calmer surface. Upon arrival at the destination, the vessel anchors itself in a vast sandy area, providing easy access to the water's edge.

Upon disembarking, guests can enjoy a refreshing beverage selection, including locally brewed beer and soft drinks, alongside freshly baked French baguettes and artisanal Gouda cheese, ensuring a delightful meal. To accommodate those who may prefer land-based activities, the ship also features amenities such as towels, sunscreen, and protective gear, making the experience comfortable and inclusive for all participants.

For non-swimmers, there's no reason to miss out; the boat journey remains both entertaining and educational, with breathtaking views of Anguilla from Creole Rock. Additionally, complimentary underwater photography equipment is available within the shop, allowing visitors to capture memories of this unique marine environment.

The tour is especially appealing during the late-afternoon hours, when it caters to a diverse group of travelers, including couples interested in tandem diving and snorkelling adventures. This arrangement allows for the exploration of various marine habitats while enjoying the company of fellow divers or snorkellers, creating an enriching social atmosphere.

Visitors will find the site suitable for entry-level divers due to its gentle slope, yet the diversity of marine life is impressive, presenting frequent sightings of rare frogfish, curious pufferfish, occasionally encountered barracudas, and an array of colorful reef fish species.
