Choose a program to find out more about it: Touch And Go Snorkel Tours Snorkeling Expeditions Just Snorkel Private Trip Swim With Crush Private Snorkeling Lesson Our Online Store Here is what Canadian travel writer Jo Matyas says: "I've been paddling around the oceans and rainforests lately and let me tell you - you are the very best eco-type small tour operator in the hemisphere! You should teach others the Barb Whitman approach to introducing tourists to the natural world - a method which is respectful and knowledgeable and fun. You rock!" 
 Touch And Go Snorkel Trip As profiled in Caribbean Travel & Life and Islands Magazine 
 The purpose of Touch and Go is to make your snorkeling or Scuba diving experience even better by revealing the secrets to seeing more and understanding what you are looking at. Why do fish have stripes and spots and blotches of color? How do I spot a Cleaning Station? What are the telltale signs that an octopus is lurking nearby? If those fish are not just milling about, then what are they doing? The program can be adapted for experienced divers and snorkelers, families or novice snorkelers. All children must be accompanied by an adult and must know how to snorkel. (For those of you who have never snorkeled before, a pre-trip lesson is required. Touch and Go participants receive a discounted price.) 
First, The program begins in the aquarium. We talk about how our snorkel spots may be different from the places you have already gone. Using a custom painted full-color mural that illustrates the creatures you can see around St. Kitts and Nevis, you'll get a glimpse into the private dramas which unfold every day on the reef. We'll tell you how to find an octopus or a spot a 'cleaning station' where fish go for a buff and polish.
Next,Get ready for a unique hands-on experience with live sea animals. Some of the creatures you may never have seen before. You'll discover how to focus in on sea animals that most people swim right by. Then it's touch time. Have you ever touched a sea turtle? Had a conch hop
on your hand? Seen an octopus catch a crab?
Then, off we go, on our 17-foot inflatable boat just like the kind Jean-Michel Cousteau uses, to one of the best snorkeling spots in the area for a guided adventure. Which place we visit depends upon sea conditions and snorkel experience. We have trips for novice as well as experienced snorkelers. No matter what your experience, our guide will answer your questions, identify animals for you, point things out and make sure your experience is just what you hoped it would be. Times: Touch and Go programs are half-day adventures. Please call in advance for reservations. Group Size: All groups are small to allow for a personalized experience. Most groups are 6 to 8 participants. This is not a hop on a big boat with 30 other people kind of trip. Price

One of our guides will be there to answer your questions, point out interesting things and make sure your experience is pleasant. Before we head off to some of the best snorkeling around, we will discuss the snorkel sites we will visit and what we will see. As in the Touch and Go trip, you'll get background information about the animals so  that you will see more and know just what you are looking at. If you like, we can go into the aquarium briefly but that is at your discretion. (Sometimes people like to see the sea turtle.) Then we'll head off for at least an hour in the water at one or more snorkel sites - weather and conditions dependent. Three hours. Price

Help Crush prepare for life in the sea by taking him out for a swim to build his muscles, become sea-savvy and learn about his future ocean home. Learn how Crush overcame many obstacles and faced death more than once. ONE OF A KIND EXPERIENCE DONE NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD This one-hour or more program will introduce you to the world of sea turtles. It begins in the aquarium where you will meet Crush for the first time. Learn the story of how he came to Under the Sea. Learn about the turtles that came before him. Then help put him in his harness and off we go to swim alongside our little turtle as he prepares for eventual release. If you want to swim with Crush you must be a strong snorkeler. We must keep up with Crush and follow him where ever he wants to go. The purpose of the harness is not to restrain him from exploring his ocean world but to allow us to bring him back at the end of his swim. He may swim for ten minutes or an hour. It is up to him. Usually he likes to stay out for an hour or so. You may also attend the aquarium part without swimming with Crush if other members of your party want to do the swim. One-Two Hours Maximum of two people at a time can go out with Crush Price
