Snuba at Pigeon Island

Discover the beautiful marine life that inhabits St. Lucia’s waters without bulky scuba gear and then explore the historic Pigeon Island.  On this excursion you will:  

• Take a 30-minute ride to Pigeon Island, a picturesque 44-acre island reserve.  
• Receive a pre-dive orientation, including many useful snorkeling skills and your Snuba gear.  
• Enter the water from a gently sloping sandy beach and, with the air supply floating on the surface, you will explore the underwater world in a comfortable and calm guided tour.  
• See that the waters surrounding Pigeon Island offer a variety of tropical fish and marine life including flounder, blue tangs, parrot fish, squirrel fish, spiny lobsters, arrow crabs, octopus, and coral such as barrel sponges and brain coral.  
• Swim along the surface of the water or descend to a maximum depth of 20 feet to see the marine life up close; there is no need to surface for air or tussle with bulky equipment.  
• Have one hour to explore the history of Pigeon Island or just relax on one of the two beautiful white sand beaches.  
• Learn that the Pigeon Island National Landmark is heralded as one of the most important monuments of St. Lucia’s history; it was a key factor in the battles between the French and the British over St. Lucia.  
• Walk through the ruins of military buildings and learn the history of the island at the Museum and Interpretive Center, housed in the former British Officers’ mess building.  
• Take a hike up to the hilltop ruins of Fort Rodney for a panoramic view of the ocean and coastline.  
• Reboard your bus for the journey back to your ship.
