Where to meet us for your Cape Vidal Snorkeling Tour

Our meeting point for the Cape Vidal Snorkeling Adventure is at the little “fuel or petrol station” in Cape Vidal Resort.

Even though the drive from St Lucia to Cape Vidal is only 32km, the game viewing is incredible and we suggest that you give yourself at least an hour and a half to get there. The road is tarred all the way to Cape Vidal.

When driving into Cape Vidal resort, keep going till you get your first view of the Cape Vidal Beach on your left. Another 100 meters further down the road you will see the “Cape Vidal fuel station”  on your right. This is where your friendly Cape Vidal Snorkeling Adventure Guides will be waiting  for you.
