Walk along the shallow mangrove river to discover Rachel's Bubble Bath, a natural whirlpool. Enjoy swimming in this peaceful or bubbling lagoon- it all depends on the tide!

Feed tropical birds sugar out of your hand, and feel the strength of the currents as you flow off SOLSTICE on a swim float. See the giant whale skeleton on the beach and learn the history of this former pirate's hideaway from the park rangers. Mingle with other sailors over cocktails on the elevated park porch. This is a view you will never forget! Enjoy dinner onboard before you stargaze and listen to the island's nearby blow-hole.
