Croozin Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Has anyone gone snorkeling in St. Johns? NCL doesn't list any snorkeling excursions for this port. Any info will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qmadam Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I haven't yet, but last year my sister and her husband went. We were cruising on the Millenium and docked in St. Thomas. They took a tour over to St. John's. They were totally in awe of the beach at Trunk Bay and said there is an underwater National Park with a snorkeling trail. They said it was absolutely great. Hubby and I are going next month on the Constellation and stopping in St. Thomas again so I have already booked the beach/snorkel excursion. I can't wait...

Qmadam Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Also, they took a ship's tour. They did say that if they went back they would arrange to do it on their own. We are doing the ships tour so I can't help you out as to tour operators. Good luck and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari2 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm not into snorkeling, Croozin, but I'll bump this up a bit in case anyone else here is. Welcome to Cruise Crazies, Croozin and Qmadam!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCruiser Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 We just did it in june, we did it thru the ships excursion, but as it turned out some of us bought the excursion before we sailed and others decided at the last minute and they were sold out. So they just walked to the end of the pier, took the ferry to st. johns, took a taxi to the bay and went snorkeling with us anyway, they rent the equipment right there. They pretty much rode right beside us on a different boat or taxi the whole time and it cost them the same amount of money. Trunk's bay was gorgeous, I have some pics in my webshots, i wasnt as impressed with the snorkeling as they made it out. Its listed as one of the top 10 spots in the world to snorkel and while we all thought the bay was gorgeous, we thought we had seen better stuff out in the middle of the ocean. It is right on the beach, you put your snorkeling gear on and swim right out and if someone is waiting on the beach they can pretty much watch you the whole time. Let me know if you have any other questions. I dont mean it to sound like it was bad, it wasnt, it was great, I think I just expected more because like I said it was listed in the top 10.
