Outing Highlights
A Small Private Launch
Tours run aboard “Fins Up!”, an Aquasport Osprey 26' set up for private groups of up to six. The setup keeps the day flexible and intimate: a captain and first mate handle navigation and the gear so guests can focus on the water and the island.
Short Dives into Clear Water
Peanut Island offers several snorkel spots where guides take guests to observe local marine life; snorkeling gear and personal flotation devices are provided as part of the trip.
Shoreline Walks and Photo Stops
If you prefer land, Peanut Island’s walkways give above-water views of sea life and easy photo opportunities—an alternative to spending the whole time in the water.
