I did the paddleboard and snorkel trip because I wasn't interested in taking the extra time to get out to the reef. The powerboat was much faster. However, if you enjoy sailing, it may be worth the time. Read the descriptions carefully. The sailing trip may only include one stop for snorkeling. On my tour, there were two stops and both were great for the variety of fish present. It's up to you what you want to do. If possible, ask for "Castle" as your guide. He's a lot of fun and loves what he's doing. And say "hi" to Jeanne in the gift shop for me. Another passionate protector of the bay.
On the Jones lagoon paddle adventure, what are the chances I would end up in the water from my kayak?

I would say very little chance! We are far from being expert kayaks, but it is very calm in the lagoon. There was a paddle boarder with us that ended up in the water.
Hello! We were curious about the Evening Bay Cruise that is offered on Saturday nights. Not too many folks have info on this cruise and was curious if anyone could offer an endorsement one way or another on it?
