Only the most observant snorkelers will spot the endangered Nassau grouper with its camouflaged coloration.

Macaws are native to Central and South America, and the largest birds in the parrot family. Guests may see them soaring above the lagoons and beaches, or meet these beautiful birds up-close: “Foots,” a female harlequin macaw, and “Coco” and “Dilly,” green-winged macaws.

Called queen conch due to their imposing size, these sea snails can live more than 30 years and produce the familiar pink shell often associated with The Bahamas. Native to the coasts of the Caribbean, the Florida Keys, The Bahamas, and Bermuda, these herbivores eat algae and other tiny marine plants.

 Make sure you check out the rocky cracks and crevices for spiny lobster! These crustaceans can grow to more than 12 pounds and are an exciting addition to our lagoons.

The red cushion sea star is a colorful addition to our dolphin lagoons, and the largest species of starfish found in the Caribbean Sea..

The mangroves and rocky features of our dolphin lagoons are the perfect habitat for the feathery glass anemone, a carnivorous invertebrate, as well as several species of sea snail, including the West Indian top snail and the four-toothed nerite.
