Angela7500 Posted May 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2014 My husband and I are going on a cruise next February for my 40th birthday! We love snorkeling and would like to do two snorkeling trips during our 10 day cruise. The ports are St Kitts, Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, St Thomas, and Grand Turk. We are planning to go snorkeling in St Thomas as we have been there before and know that the snorkeling is good. Out of the other ports, which would you say has the best snorkeling and whereabouts on the island?

There are other places to snorkel, but it is just amazing at Coki. There are so many fish and it is very easy and close to the shore to start snorkeling. You can go out a bit and around the corner of the rocks for less people. ( that will make sense when you see it) And of course there are chairs to rent etc. I can't wait to go back! 225 days! Here is a quick video of my snorkeling there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela7500 Posted May 22, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks! Yes, we are excited for snorkeling in St. Thomas! Considering Coki, or possibly a trip out to St John. We're actually trying to sort out our 2nd snorkel trip of the cruise and wondering which of the other ports has the best snorkeling. Out of St Kitts, Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia, and Grand Turk. Any thoughts? I'm planning on posting this in other threads as well....as soon as I figure out how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also snorkeled in St. Lucia on a full day tour with Cosol tours. It was a great tour & we snorkeled at Jalousie beach, it was really good, lots of fish!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear good things about the Boatyard. We were just there for snorkeling with the turtles. Easy to catch a boat ride out there from the beach.

Angela7500 Posted May 25, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks guys! Leaning towards Barbados for our 2nd snorkel spot. And definitely planning on doing more research about St John. Got plenty of time to figure it out! About 260 more days to go! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabeaume Posted June 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2014 For snorkeling on St. Thomas (and some on St. John) I did a blog here: http://travelingwithsue.blogspot.com/2013/11/2013-st-thomas-9-day-vacation-to-island.html You can click on Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, ... on the upper side and see where we snorkeled on those islands. Loved the snorkeling on all of them. Although bad surf kept us from having too many options on Grand Turk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babyclaytonmom Posted June 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2014 In St. Thomas going to St. John to snorkel trumps all others on your itinerary. :)LuLu Where is the best place to snorkel in St. John? Plan to go their by ourselves via ferry in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabeaume Posted June 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Where is the best place to snorkel in St. John? Plan to go their by ourselves via ferry in July. We only snorkeled at Trunk Bay and Hawksnest and found both places to be fantastic. The big advantage Trunk Bay has is the facilities with include restrooms, showers, a snack bar, gift shop, and I think they even had lockers.
