We knew that snorkeling was something we'd like to try during our Caribbean Cruise. There are many choices for this, and we decided to go on the Castaway Girl, departing from Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. This ended up being an excellent choice!
You take about a 20 minute ride out to the cove for your snorkeling. You should be aware, depending on the sea, it can be a rough ride, but not unpleasant. Once there, you receive instructions on how to snorkel including safety information as well as how to enjoy yourself in the water. All of the equipment you'll need is provided.
Once in the water, your tour guide will take you around the cove explaining the different sea life you're seeing, which cannot be fully appreciated in just photos. She also shows a shipwreck under water that she'll swim through. This was definitely a very exhilarating tour that we'd recommend to others looking for a snorkeling trip in St. Thomas.
After everyone got back on the boat, there was plenty of Rum Punch to go around (and other non-alcoholic drinks for kids). Refills were unlimited and simple trail mix snacks were provided as well.
