Overview
From Jolly Harbour the boat runs down the southwest coast past Valley Church and Ffryes bays and around Johnsons Point to Cades Bay. Cades Reef is the island's largest reef and lies within the Cades Bay marine reserve; on a guided snorkel reef fish, rays and turtles can be seen. On the way back there is a swim stop at Valley Church beach. Morning departures usually bring calmer water and better visibility.
