The sandbar, then the bar
You leave Leeward and you're inside Princess Alexandra National Park in five to fifteen minutes. The sandbar comes first. You step off the boat and the water stops at your waist. Noah's Ark is the second stop, a tiki bar moored on the water with a deck and its own tab. Three hours end to end, back to the same Leeward dock.

About the sandbar and the bar
Which day you pick changes this trip more than anything else on this page does.
Is three hours a lot?
It's the longest tour we run on the water. The shipwreck run is one hour and Iguana Island is two. Three hours is two stops with time to sit at each one. If you want to be back inside an hour, book the shipwreck instead.
Is it a party, or okay for couples?
Depends on the day, not on the tour. The two stops and the three hours are the same all week; what changes is how many other people are at the bar. Sunday is the busy one, so couples generally want a weekday.
Are drinks and food included?
Your tour price covers the three hours and the crew. Drinks and food at Noah's Ark are the bar's own tab, paid there by card or cash. Bring your own for the ride out and back if you want; the cooler and ice are on board.
What if I don't swim, or don't drink?
Neither one is a problem. You can stand up on the sandbar, and if you'd rather not get in at all you can stay on deck for the whole three hours. The bar pours soft drinks.
Will I get seasick?
The runs between stops are five to fifteen minutes; the rest of the three hours you're anchored or tied up. If you're prone to it, take a non-drowsy tablet an hour before and sit toward the middle of the boat. Tell the crew when you board.
