The queens chain, which is usually the difference between the high and low tides is what prevents the privitization of the beaches.

Some hotels make it difficult but this is becoming less of an issue.  Prices vary depending on which water sports desk you are using with prices as follows: Kayaking US$10, Snorkeling US$20, Swimming free.

Most motorised watersports are operated by private individuals or companies and not operated under the insurance of any watersports desk.  It is advisable to double check your travel insurance before taking part in any of these activites.  As a guiding principle, if your insurer covers you for skiing and snowboarding then you should be covered for these.  If you are not covered, speak to any watersports desk or hotel concierge to arrange cover.  If this is not an option or unavailable confirm with the operator that they are covered and ask to see their cover note or for the details of their policy.  Prices range as follows: Jetski US$40 for 30 minutes, Banana boats US$10 per person, Water Skiing US$20 if proficient, US$35 if a lesson is required, Wake Boarding US$20 if proficient, US$35 if a lesson is required, Parasailing US$50.
