Turtle Beach Power Snorkeling Adventure

2.Turtle Beach Power Snorkeling Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 521 reviews · from $132

From Freeman’s Bay, you’ll learn to use a compact sea scooter, then snorkel with guides such as Rex and Renek among turtles, rays, fish, coral, and a guaranteed shipwreck. The two-hour shore tour includes equipment, water, underwater photos, and pickup from selected hotels and cruise pickup points.

“Bernie our driver and guide was a perfect host. He was very knowledgeable and confident during the drive and the tour. The scooters were really fun and easy to use. The only tip would be not to go on level three speed like I did for a lot of the time because the battery may drain before the end of the tour. The pictures that the guy takes of everything is a really nice feature. Great value and great experience. One of a kind.”

“We had a wonderful day with Johnny. We got picked up at our hotel and spent time at the Dockyard, Shirley Heights mountain. Then off to swim with the Turtles, Stingray and explore a few shipwrecks. I do recommend being a decent swimmer. It's alot of swimming around a bay although pretty shallow. Read the description, there is no boat. We misread. However, we had a fantastic time and Johnny was really funny. We got some great history and island life discussion and education. Highly recommend!”

“We had such a great time at the cooking classes through Nicole's Table! Unfortunately none of the excursions offered by the cruiseline we were traveling on were too compelling, so we branched out and found Nicole's Table on Viator and are so glad we did. We got to meet people from different ships and tourists traveling independently and worked together to prepare a fantastic meal. The food blew us away and was our favorite meal from the entire trip. Nicole and her family are charming, engaging, and will keep you laughing and smiling the whole time. If you have the opportunity to take this class, we absolutely recommend it!”
