Full-Day Private Snorkel Charter to Soufriere, Pitons & Sulphur Springs
Spend a private day aboard Wild Dreams exploring Anse Chastanet’s reefs, cruising Marigot Bay, and visiting Soufriere’s Sulphur Springs and Toraille Waterfall. Expect guided snorkeling, flexible stops, and local lunch options in a 4–6 hour outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The crew provides snorkel gear but not sunscreen; use reef-safe formulas to protect corals and reapply after swims.
Wear a swim shirt or rashguard
Trade winds and sun reflect off the water—light coverage reduces sunburn during extended snorkel sessions.
Secure a dry bag
Pack phone, ID, and cash in a small dry bag; marinas and beaches can be wet and boats can pitch unexpectedly.
Know your swimming limits
The trip is suitable for most fitness levels, but snorkel spots can have currents—ask the crew about conditions and stay within your comfort zone.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Stick to reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching corals, and follow crew instructions—Saint Lucia’s reefs are sensitive and benefit from low-impact visits.
Soufriere sits on a volcanic landscape shaped by uplift and lava flows; the Sulphur Springs are the island’s most visible geothermal feature and were historically used for baths and agriculture.
