Snorkeling Question

[sflinch]

Trying to choose best location for snorkeling and with whom...

Cruising on Carnival Magic April 21 - 28, 2018. Islands are Amber Cove, St Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. Should I do excursion with Carnival or a private operator. I have done private tours on my own, so that does not bother me. I have done tours with the ship and find them rather crowded, but I would do again if best option. I have snorkeled before, quite a few times, but my 30 something daughter has not, I am looking forward to blowing her mind with an awesome snorkel experience.......so please give me your best info!!!

 

I have narrowed it down to either Grand Turk or St Thomas. We will be in Grand Turk from 12PM to 6PM and in St Thomas from 11:30AM to 7PM.

 

Thank You for any info and experience you can provide me, to make this a memorable time with my daughter!! :D

If you do St. Thomas...get a tour to St. John...it's worth the hassle of the trip. The most GORGEOUS beaches in the world are there. Totally awesome! They have many snorkel tours. Did I say how worth it the trip is?

I agree. It is commonly said Grand Turk is one of the best snorkeling locations in the general Caribbean area...if it is not too windy.
