Paddle the impossibly turquoise, land-locked lagoon of Chalk Sound at golden hour — the view a well-travelled local actually sends friends to, not the beach on the postcard.
What to expect
A marine biologist guide launches you from a quiet put-in into Chalk Sound National Park, threading between limestone cays in water so clear you can watch rays glide beneath your kayak. You'll stop to snorkel a shallow patch reef and hear the story of how the sound formed. The tour times its return for sunset, when the water turns impossible shades of blue-green.
Good to know
This is on the opposite side of the island from the cruise port — arrange transfer with the operator and build in taxi time back to the ship; best done only if your call is a full day.
