Perhaps one of the most beautiful island adventures is to swim with the turtles.

With scheduled catamaran trips, ship adventure tours, or more tranquil glass bottomed boat rides, guests can soar out into the waters for snorkeling and swimming with the turtles! Watch turtles eat and swim among the breathtakingly beautiful corral, touch them gently as they float by and let you view a glimpse of their fluid and colorful world. At special times of the year, moonlight cruises carry enthralled guests to the shorelines where they will see pregnant turtles emerging from the waters to lay their eggs in the welcoming, velvet sands.
Nightlife is extensive and filled with energy. From historic dinner theater to pulsing nightclubs to romantic cruises and moonlit beach walks, it is difficult to know just where to begin. Enjoy it all as you begin your lives together far east in the Caribbean, on an island known for warm waters and enchanting turtles, an island waiting to help you celebrate.
