Half Day Trip to Sand Dollar from St. Martin
Make your way to Simpson Bay and board the Sand Dollar. Be sure to bring along a towel and swimsuit, as well as sunscreen and a hat to protect you from the hot Caribbean sun while snorkeling. Sand Dollar is a custom-built 28-foot motorboat with a canopy for shade, but no onboard toilet. Trips start with the boat gliding into the lagoon. Find a space on the deck and relax, grab a cold soda, a beer, or some Dutch cheese on a crusty baguette while viewing the picturesque coastline as you sail out towards Creole Rock. Creole Rock is an unusual rock formation with a reef extending towards the shore, whose calm, shallow waters make for excellent snorkeling and diving. When the captain moors the boat, slip on your provided snorkel, fins, and mask and jump in. Feel free to ask the captain and crew any questions about the surrounding environment or get a few pointers on snorkeling. View the surrounding rock formations as tropical reef fish dart in and out of their hiding places. Be on the lookout for barracuda, pufferfish, and the rare frogfish. Non-swimmers are always welcome to take the scenic boat ride with beautiful views of neighboring Anguilla. Cruise ship passengers should calculate roughly 45-60 minutes to get back to port after the tour is complete (to factor in rush hour traffic). Please note that alternate stops may be adjusted based on weather conditions.
