One of our biggest attractions is our natural caves located in Norman Island. Many tourists rent catamaran boats (pictured below) to sail out to the caves for deep sea diving. In the photo below, you can see the two of the main caves that people swim to explore. The caves are so deep that if you were to swim to the end, it would be near dark as if you were swimming at night.
Many people prefer to snorkel just outside the caves, which is home to many types of fishes such as yellow-tailed snapper, red-tailed snapper, silverbacks, and much more. Some of them aren’t even shy about swimming close to say hi. It’s a great way for children to experience aquatic nature (as pictured below) since they can get up close and personal. Local fishermen avoid fishing at this spot in order to protect the ecosystem that these fishes maintain.
When you’re finally tired from diving and snorkeling, you can head on over to Pirates Bight Restaurant & Bar (pictured below) via a dinghy to grab some lunch and drinks. Here you will meet tourists and locals alike who will tell you about the stories of how treasure was buried in the nearby caves in the 1700s. We have had many people try to look for it, but no one hasn’t found treasure since the 1800s. The shallow water is perfect for kids to go swimming in while you enjoy a drink on the shores. On the deeper end of the floating docks, fishermen place lobster cages to bring in food for the restaurant. On a rare day, you can see giant stingrays in the water up to a meter wide.
