Norman Island Snorkel and Beach Tour Full Day

The Caves at Norman Island

Beautiful. Numerous caves that the Treasure Island book is based on, one of them actually contained treasure. Maybe you will find something valuable?

Pirates Bight

A restaurant on the beach, great place to have lunch. Optionally, we can stop at Willy T instead of Pirates Bight.

The Indians

A great place to snorkel

Summary

Norman Island was the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel ‘Treasure Island’. Explore the three water level caves and search for treasure which was last found in 1915. The caves are stunning and atmospheric with schools of Yellowtail Jacks and Sergeant Majors as you snorkel the calm, crystal clear water. You will also see lots of orange-cup coral and red sponges covering the walls of the caves. Angelfish Reef off Norman is a good place to glimpse sea turtles. The Bight, Kelly’s Cove and the nearby Indians offer exceptional snorkeling.

Tour Itinerary:

Destination 1: Morning Snorkel

Start your day with a snorkel at The Indians off Norman Island, followed by a snorkel at The Caves.

Destination 2: Beach time at the Bight

We then cruise into the Bight passing the (in)famous Willie-T floating bar and restaurant. Your captain will dock the vessel at Pirates Beach and you can have a pre-lunch swim or snorkel.

Break for Lunch:

We then have lunch at the wonderful Pirates Restaurant. Lunch costs are not included in Tour.

Destination 3: Kelly’s Cove or Willy-T Playtime

Decision time…….party time at The Willy T or another snorkel at Kelly’s Cove which is around the corner from the Bight. No problem for the captain if your group wishes to split up for these options.
