In the afternoon, a lunch of chicken, fish, roast beef and fresh salads is served on a private, uninhabited island.
Complimentary snorkel gear is available all day, along with an open bar serving wine, beer, liquor, soft drinks and coffee. Guests celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary are treated to a cake baked by the on-board chef and a complimentary "Whale's Tale" T-Shirt.
