Noord Private Tours: Boat Trips, Snorkeling and Island Routes

Which Noord private tours fit your group?

Noord private tours make a practical difference because Palm Beach departures, rocky snorkeling shores and hotel pickup involve different arrangements. A private boat keeps your party together on the water with a driver and equipment. A private shore guide starts at Tres Trapi rather than taking you out on a large vessel. A private car route brings transport to a selected hotel pickup point and keeps the outing on land.

Decide what you want to do before comparing prices. Time aboard a boat, time snorkeling from shore and time travelling by car are different experiences. The Noord overview places Palm Beach, Malmok and Arashi in context, while the excursion comparison covers shared alternatives. The private options here suit groups who want one of those specific formats, with the party size matched to the booking.

A private snorkeling guide at Tres Trapi

The shore-based option meets at Tres Trapi Beach, L.G. Smith Boulevard 105, in the Noord and Malmok area. It lasts one and a half hours and is charged per person, even though the guiding is private. You enter a snorkeling outing with a certified guide trained as a lifeguard and in first aid. Equipment, floating aids and a professionally edited video of the experience are included.

This is the choice for someone whose main aim is guided time in the water without a boat excursion. Transport is excluded, and life jackets are available on request. Floating aids and a life jacket are different provisions, so a request for a life jacket belongs with your booking. Around Malmok, narrow sandy sections alternate with limestone and rocks; choose your footing with the shore conditions in mind.

Marine animals remain wild. Keep your distance, avoid touching or feeding them, and leave coral and seagrass undisturbed. The outing is about guided snorkeling rather than obtaining a particular animal encounter for a photograph. For the differences between boat stops, beach snorkeling and equipment, read the daytime snorkeling guide. Sea conditions remain part of any water activity, including a private one.

An island route with hotel pickup

The four-hour private island tour accommodates up to four people. A local guide, an air-conditioned car, pickup and drop-off, and non-alcoholic drinks are included. Its pickup choices include northern hotels at Palm Beach, with the particular hotel option selected as part of the booking. This format suits a small party who want an island outing by road and prefer being collected to travelling to a beach meeting point.

Noord provides useful geographical context for discussing your interests: Palm Beach is the high-rise hotel coast, while Alto Vista and California Lighthouse are historical landmarks in the north. Those landmarks help you describe the kind of land outing you enjoy; the private car offer is an island route rather than a fixed promise to visit every place mentioned in this guide. See the lighthouse and Alto Vista page for their visitor context.

Food, alcoholic drinks, towels and snorkeling equipment are excluded from the car tour. It therefore suits a road-based outing rather than replacing an equipped snorkeling trip. The distinction is useful for a mixed group: choose the car when the shared aim is sightseeing by road, and the shore guide when everyone wants their activity to centre on the water.

Private or shared: compare the actual cost

These comparison examples use starting prices recorded in November 2026. The private boat starts at 398 USD per group of up to six: four people share that as 99.50 USD each, while six share it as approximately 66.33 USD each. The private car starts at 475 USD per group of up to four, equivalent to 118.75 USD each with four passengers. These divisions explain how the group price works; the group total is the amount being compared.

The private shore guide starts at 125 USD per person. A solo guest therefore gains no group-price division on that outing. For a same-activity comparison, the shared sailing and snorkeling trip in the daytime guide starts at 70 USD per person for two and a half hours, with equipment, guides, two snorkeling stops, hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. Its drinks and format differ from the private boat's water, soft drinks and two-hour outing.

On land, the shared four-hour island tour starts at 55 USD per person and includes a guide, air-conditioned transport, bottled water and hotel transfers from its listed areas. That is a useful comparison with the private car, without treating their routes as identical. A shared excursion can be the more economical choice for one or two travellers who like its programme. A fuller private boat group spreads its total among more people; a private shore guide is chosen for the guided shore format rather than a lower group bill.
