The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk the crescent of Salt Whistle Bay at first light, before day-charter yachts anchor. Swim in glass-calm water framed by palms and volcanic headlands on both sides.
A small private sailboat threads the Tobago Cays Marine Park, anchoring over turtle grass meadows to snorkel with wild green turtles and reef fish.
Lunch of grilled lobster, lambi (conch), and fish caught that morning, served at the open-air shack Dennis himself has run for decades on Saline Bay.
An hour's walk through the actual village of Mayreau — 300 residents, sand streets, goats, and the small Catholic church with panoramic Grenadines views.
A short boat hop to the sandbar reef at Mopian and the shallow wreck of the Puruni, both far quieter than the crowded Tobago Cays moorings.
A guided stand-up paddleboard session along Saline Bay's calm, reef-protected water, timed to the last light before your ship's departure.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
