9.Glass Bottom Boat and Snorkeling Combo in Bermuda

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 82 reviews · from $105

Meet at Royal Naval Dockyard for a three-hour cruise over Bermuda’s reefs and the Vixen shipwreck. Guides such as Captain Sinclair, Jesse, Kirk, and Adrian combine island stories with glass-bottom viewing, turtle searches, and about an hour of snorkeling when conditions allow. Gear and flotation devices are included; food and towels are not.

“The captain and mate were excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable. A good value for the money, but the snorkeling was not good. It didn’t appear to be a bad weather day (a bit breezy, but isn’t that typical?). Nevertheless. due to the “weather”, we went snorkeling in a protected cove without any reef. A pretty spot, but you can float in pretty spots most anywhere in this beautiful place. I wish the crew had communicated this (I had to ask if this was their usual spot) and had a better “plan B”.”
