Caneel Bay and Henley Cay Ecotours with Lunch

Overview

Enjoy the best of our two favorite tour locations—Caneel Bay and Henley Cay—for a beautiful and inspiring ecotour that includes kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, and a great picnic lunch!

On this tour you will start at the National Park's Visitor Center in Cruz Bay and hike the Lind Point Trail, learning about the inque and fascinating wildlife that call this area home.  The hike takes you to Honeymoon Beach, a picturesque and secluded beach nestled on the North Shore of the island.  From there, the kayak portion of the tour begins as you paddle accross the bay to Honey Cay.  Henley's protected beach is fringed on both sides with a fabulous coral reef teeming with colorful schools of fish, perfect for our first snorkel of the tour.  Then, board your kayak once again to reach the second snorkel destination around Scott Beach.  You will discover an impressive collection of colorful corals including brain, pillar, sheet, star and the endangered elkhorn and staghorn.  Scott Beach is also frequented by sea turtles roaming among the seagrass, so keep your eyes peeled!  From there, you will return to Honeymoon Beach in your kayak where your picnic lunch will be waiting for you.  Feel free to relax after your tour in a hammock or lounge chair under a coconut tree.  A perfect and invigorating day spent in paradise.
