In a nutshell

Main stops

Scenic trip across Sir Francis Drake Channel
Norman Island
Snorkelling at Treasure Point

The programme

We will board a motor launch for a scenic trip across Sir Francis Drake Channel, which will offer us views of the string of wonderful islands in the archipelago.
Accompanied by an expert local instructor, we will reach the legendary, uninhabited Norman Island, believed to be Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island due to its fascinating pirate history.
We will make our way to the Treasure Point caves, where legend has it that pirates hid their treasure and treasure chests.
We will get into the water for a snorkelling session in an unspoilt setting, surrounded by fabulous multi-coloured coral formations, exotic fish and a thriving underwater world. Maybe we'll even catch sight of a gold doubloon!
Enriched by our experience, but possibly not by any treasure, we will return to the ship.
