Needs_A_Vacation Posted October 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Trying to decide between different tours. One goes to the Barrier Reef and the other to Coral Gardens. Has anyone been to both? How is the snorkeling at each place? Which is better? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitz0005 Posted October 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2012 EASY. We did the barrier reef with Moby Dick and Coral Gardens with Native Way. Hands down the snorkeling was better at the barrier reef. Coral Gardens was marginal at best. If you do not need to go to Rum Point I would highly recommend going with Moby Dick. They will drop you off at 7 mile beach after if you choose also. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkNC Posted October 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I would also vote the barrier reef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitz0005 Posted October 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2012 When we went, they offered to either drop you off at 7 mile beach or take you back to the port. If you choose 7 mile you are on your own from that point, but it is does not cost much via taxi to get back to port afterwards. We did not go to 7 mile, but it was an option.

clackey Posted October 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2012 How do you get back from 7 mile beach after they drop you off? You can flag down a public transportation van. Cost $2 or $3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utlady Posted October 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks for the info on how to get back to port. I might try doing this, did not see good reviews for Coral Gardens and wanted to go to the reef. Plan to get off the boat and hire Moby Dick then.
