Earthlings Posted October 19, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Looking for suggestions on the best place to snorkel and/or take a sailing excursion during a cruise which includes the ports of Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Curacao, & Aruba. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10X Posted October 20, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Tortola: Go to The Baths on Virgin Gorda http://www.thebathsbvi.com/map.htm St. Maarten: skip snorkeling. St. Lucia: Go to Ti Kaye resort with Island Divers. They have a snorkeling package that includes lunch and transportation by water. http://www.islanddiversstlucia.com/schedule.htm Barbados: Go the Silvermoon Catamaran and snorkel with turtles. Book early. http://oceanadventures.bb/sailing.htm Grenada: unknown. Curacao: Take a ship's excursion to Caracas Bay, sometimes only referred to as snorkeling over a sunken tugboat. An option is sailing on the Bounty. http://www.bountyadventures.com/BountySailingTrips.html Aruba: Take a ship's excursion and snorkel over the Antilla and sunken German freighter but this isn't good if there is more than one ship in port because it gets too crowded. Also, DePalm Island is very nice, which might also be offered as a ship's excursion. http://www.depalm.com/depalmisl/index.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted October 20, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Barbados Silvermoon was the best excursion I have taken in 20+ years of cruising and well worth every penny!

island pat Posted October 24, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2006 PLease share with me why not to dive in St Maarten? My husband enjoys diving over ship wrecks and Shore Trips has an excursion that offers a ship wreck scuba excursion in St Maarten and he was thinking it owuld be good. The wreck in Barbados is a 30 meter dive. Hope you can claify this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
