Spend an afternoon on the water during this Bermuda catamaran and snorkeling cruise. The catamaran will raise her sails and cruise throughout the Great Sound, before anchoring at a beautiful and secluded swim site. Once at anchor, you have the freedom to choose to swim up to the nearby beach or sand bar, kayak, try a SUP (paddle board) or kick around with the crew's snorkel gear on the nearby reef. One rum cocktail is included, and additional drinks can be purchased from the onboard bar.
Your Bermuda sailing adventure leaves from King’s Wharf in the parish of Sandys, on Bermuda’s northwest tip. After boarding your catamaran — the Rising Son II — set sail into the Great Sound. Sail for about an hour as you head toward a secluded swimming spot; during your time on the boat, just relax and enjoy the views. Lounge on one of the trampolines, soak up the sun on the upper deck or enjoy the shade in the cockpit. When you reach the swimming site, the crew will throw the anchor overboard and give you a quick safety briefing and snorkeling instructions. Then put on your provided mask, fins and snorkel and jump into the water! Snorkel above the nearby reef, checking out the local marine life, or if you prefer not to snorkel, you can use the boat’s kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to explore the bay, nearby beach and sandbar. You have 1.5 hours of playtime here, after which you’ll climb back on the catamaran for a refreshing ‘rum swizzle’ cocktail. During the cruise back to the wharf, get ready for another evening in paradise with additional drinks from the onboard bar (own expense). Tropical music on board will put you in the island spirit!

My husband & I took this tour today and had a terrific time. It was my first time snorkeling and our guides made it so easy and welcoming. We had a great time after the time in the water as well. Brenden, Hayden & Max were wonderful guides. I have mobility issues and they were so helpful getting me on and off the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Bermuda Review We had such a wonderful time on the Rising Son excursion during our cruise stop in Bermuda. We were traveling with our two younger children (5 and 6.5) and the staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive to their needs, which made the experience so enjoyable and stress-free. Everything was well organized, fun, and memorable - Max had great facts about Bermuda, while maintaining safety throughout the trip, and the captain took us to a perfect spot to paddle board, swim and check out a little beach. And Pat of course was a great deckhand who poured the best swizzles!! We would absolutely recommend this excursion to other families (with or without kids) visiting Bermuda!
Convenient as close to cruise ship port. Not a great snorkeling site. Secluded and good for swimming or SUP in calm, beautiful waters. Not worth the cost.
Phenomenal experience! Highly recommended!
We went on the three hour snorkel and swim tour with our 1.5 year old and had a blast! We did bring our own life vets for our son. Snorkel equipment, adult life vests, pool noodles, two paddle boards and ocean kayak were all included. Bar with Rum swizzles and mixed drinks. No snacks provided or sold on board so if going with kids definitely pack a snack. My husband said the snorkeling was amazing, a lot of beautiful fish, he also saw an octopus and a sea turtle. Captain Brendan, Hawk and Matteo were awesome, provided fun facts throughout the trip, safety info and kept us all safe throughout the trip! We would definitely do this again if we travelled to Bermuda in the future!
If you want a chill, fun afternoon to splash in the sea, this is your chance. The crew takes you out to a secluded bay for swimming, snorkeling, paddling, and beachcombing, with tunes! It felt like we had the place to ourselves.
Through an excursion through carnival cruise line.
Peter, Paul, and Brandon were our guides and they were AWESOME! I highly recommend this excursion We docked about 20 min away from the wharf, snorkeling, paddle boarding and diving off the boat was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. oh, and the rum swizzles went down easy
Enjoyed the talk getting to the area. Enjoyed the snorkeling. Great trip overall
Book it NOW!!!! Great trip, crew were amazing!!! I had to write this review immediately, my bathing suit still dripping, because this is a must do if you’re in Bermuda! Peter M
