Most importantly, don't try ot over-do it. There are a lot of cool things here and if you try to do too much, the day will become very stressful.

Coral World is pretty cool for kids, and Coki beach is right next door (though both Sapphire and Morning Star beaches are better, and reasonably close by).

Given the age of your two boys they would really enjoy the number of fish that surround you at Coki. No need to bring the dog bones as everyone else does and the fish automatically think you are going to feed them.

Hello Chris,

I agree with Coki being a good choice for snorkeling with your boys. For a fun full day I would say head to Coral World www.coralworldvi.com then go snorkeling at Coki Beach which is right next door. For lunch there is food at Coral World and at the beach. Coral World has changing rooms so keep your passes and go back and change into dry clothes when you are done at the beach and then go on an island tour. There is a taxi stand right at the end of the parking lot so you can get a taxi tour from there. Then after the 1-2 hour island tour head back to the ship. Most tours hit the scenic highlights like Mountain Top, Drakes Seat, Mafolie -Skyline Drive look out areas...

If there are things your family is particularly interested in?? perhaps mention those and then we can suggest things in line with the interest.

Have a great time.
