Peter Island Private Beach Picnic & Snorkel Safari

Explore Peter Island's own secluded bays — Deadman's Bay, White Bay, Little Deadman's — by private skiff with a local reef guide. Snorkel pristine coral gardens, discover sea turtles, and arrive at a butler-set beach picnic with chilled Champagne. The island itself is your playground.

What to expect

A resort naturalist briefs you on the marine life before you board a sleek tender. Within minutes you're hovering over staghorn coral teeming with parrotfish, spotted eagle rays, and curious hawksbill turtles. The guide narrates every encounter with genuine expertise. Back on the beach, a white-linen table emerges from the jungle edge — chilled lobster, ceviche, tropical sorbets, and Veuve Clicquot. Afternoon clouds drift over the Virgins while you do absolutely nothing.
