Check out a typical Neptune Voyage itinerary below! We've split the 21-day voyage into three, week long pages so please use the controls above to switch from week to week.
Day 1
Location: West End, Tortola
|
Morning:
|
Throw your toothbrush in the top of your bag and head to the airport!
|
|
Afternoon:
|
Transfer through San Juan and start to meet your new friends on the flight over to Tortola. As soon as you arrive, it's straight aboard the boat, so pick a bunk, change into your bathing suit and take your first dip into the warm, blue Caribbean water!
|
|
Evening:
|
Your first experience of cooking aboard... try to remember the names of your fellow shipmates and then head for the big program introduction.
|
Day 2
Location: West End sail to South Bay, Peter Island
|
Morning:
|
Pancakes and fresh fruit starts the day off right, play some games to get to know the shipmates from the other boats and then leave the dock as soon as possible!
|
|
Afternoon:
|
Main from the Jib, Tack from the Clew. Practice helming and trimming as we make our way to Peter Island. Drop a hook and get ready for the check out dive! Do you remember how to do a buddy check? Five point descent? Mask clear and fin pivot? Don't worry, we'll take you back to basics first!
|
|
Evening:
|
Introduction to the Neptune Diving Program. Do you remember how to use the dive table? Don't panic, this is the right time to review!
|
Day 3
Location: Peter to Cooper and finally to Savannah Bay
|
Morning:
|
Big day of sailing and diving, so it is up early to head east. First stop is Cooper Island. Here, in the cut between Cooper and Salt, is a great dive site called Blue Chromis Reef and you might even catch a glimpse of the wreck of the Beta, too.
|
|
Afternoon:
|
After a quick lunch, we raise sails once again and tack upwind to Virgin Gorda and the beautiful Savannah Bay. Take a dip, shower off and get ready for dinner.
|
|
Evening:
|
Get together with the crews of the other dive boats for the Lifeworks Forum.
|
Day 4
Location: Savannah Bay
|
Morning:
|
Busy, Busy, Busy. Scrambled eggs and straight off to learn about underwater navigation. We'll go ashore to practice on land first and with your towels over your head, before long you'll be navigating the length of the beach using just your compass!
|
|
Afternoon:
|
Grab a sandwich and set up your dive gear as we need to be at the sand circles by 1:30pm. It's tricky diving out of the dinghy for the first time, but you'll pick it up quick. Once on the site, it's time to practice the Underwater Navigation. Straight out and back as well as squares and maybe even a triangle, too. Once we all make it back, we'll head out for some wakeboarding before dinner.
|
|
Evening:
|
Doing it in the dark... it's the Night Diving chit chat
|
Day 5
Location: Savannah Bay to the Baths then to Mountain Point
|
Morning:
|
The Baths are one of the most beautiful places in the world and we'll get to explore before the crowds arrive. Giant boulders scatter the shore line providing caves and pools of blue water. This is a great place for some rock jumping, too.
|
|
Afternoon:
|
Ready for a cheese burger? Rose at the Bath and Turtle in Spanish Town yacht club will be ready for you with burgers, dogs and all sorts of other goodies. Feeling full, we'll sail out in the early afternoon to Mountain Point and take a snorkel to view the night dive site before the sun sets.
|
|
Evening:
|
After dinner and a briefing, you'll don your gear and head out for the first of three night dives. The first one is always the most memorable and you may even be lucky enough to see a sleeping turtle.
|
Day 6
Location: Off to the Dogs and back to Mountain Point
|
Morning:
|
Motor over to the Dogs having breakfast on the way. Once we're there, we'll tidy up and then jump straight in for a dive on the Chimneys. The hour surface interval is perfect to have a snack and read up on the underwater naturalist guide before heading back in for a second dive on the plane wreck at Coral Gardens
|
|
Afternoon:
|
We'll head back to Mountain Point while preparing lunch and aim to get some skiing in before the Underwater Naturalist chit chat. That leaves just a little more time for skiing and relaxing before dinner.
|
|
Evening:
|
Get together with the other crews for the Lifeworks Forum
|
Day 7
Location: Over to Leverick Bay and Dance night at Vixen Point
|
Morning:
|
We'll move the boat just round the corner to the point for your first underwater naturalist dive in the morning. The visibility here is fantastic, so spotting five new fish, four new invertebrates and 2 new plants should be easy. Then, we're off to Leverick Bay and the lighthouse restaurant for a quick cheeseburger!
|
|
Afternoon:
|
After a quick motor over to Vixen Point and a Boat Diving lecture, we'll hit the beach for a volleyball competition or, if you would rather go wakeboarding, there is perfectly flat water just around the corner.
|
|
Evening:
|
There's just enough time to get the salt out of your hair before it's back to the beach for a BBQ and dance party with Heavy Beatz, the best DJ in the Islands.
