Activities

Students/travel groups can also enjoy our open facilities. Whether you want to be active and play volleyball, bocce ball, or cornhole, or just relax in a hammock and read a good book, Windward Lodge offers it all. You can also hop on one of our paddle boards or kayaks and paddle right out to the reef. There are many activities for your group to participate in on the island.

Snorkeling Tours

We can offer you the perfect hub for your study needs. You’ll be able to snorkel off the beach and explore seagrass beds, coral reefs, and some mangrove ecosystems. You can also choose to explore with one of our many snorkel tours (special prices available for student groups/travel groups).

Snorkeling Tours

There was a large group of student at the lodge for part of my stay so we ate in two different groups. If you go off for the day canoeing, kayaking or fishing, they will pack you a lunch. - Joanna B
