My husband and I are planning a trip to Puerto Rico over the holiday season. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a luxury resort or condo (up to $500/night) that offers quality snorkeling right off the beach? I’m content to sit on the beach all day, but the hubby gets bored easily.

Thanks very much!

There is a lot of great snorkeling in Puerto Rico. Read this article below & you can get a better idea:

VIeques & Culebra are small islands off the coast of Puerto Rico with white sand & crystal clear water. They have great snorkeling & nearly secluded beaches to relax all day. You can check out Martineau Bay resort & spa in Vieques. Vieques also has a bioluminescent bay which glows in the dark. You can take a nighttime kayaking trip.

Also if you’d like to stay on the main island of Puerto Rico, where you can visit San Juan & have more to do, then try Fajardo. In Fajardo you can stay at El Conquistador resort. They own a small white sand island called Palomino. They take you over & you can relax on the beach. & there is great snorkeling here too. Also you will be close by El Yunque rain forest. This is a great day trip. & Luquillo & seven seas beach are nice also. There is a bioluminescent lagoon here too called Las Croaboas lagoon or La laguna grande. Whichever you decide., Enjoy!

My husband and I are going to Maui in September. It’s been years since I’ve been there…but the last time I was there, I went snorkeling with a company that only took out about 10 people in a small boat. I’m looking for something similar this time around. (Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the company I went with last time.) Any suggestions?

You are not going to find a company that takes only 6-12 people at a time for snorkeling unless you rent a boat and captain for just your own family.

There is a comparison analysis between several different Maui snorkel companies on this web page:

Although New Providence is the most densely populated and visited dive island in the Bahamas, its surrounding reefs are some of the most pristine. Snorkel across the break zone of its Southwest Reef and see what we mean. The waters are clear and the corals are healthy vibrant. It’s a fantasy land of life and color.

We are traveling to Nassau in May and would love a snorkeling adventure. The ones off the cruise tend to be expensive and the ones off the boat seem to be the same offered on the boat- any tips to a great and affordable trip off the boat?

Check out Snorkel Bahamas Adventure in Nassau. I believe the price is $45 a person for a morning or afternoon excursion (5 hours)

One good reason you should book ship excursion is if they are late the ship will wait for you. If you book on your own and your delayed, you have a problem. I just thought I would mention this.

Have a great trip and good luck. The water is beautiful on Paradise Island. So Blue/green and clear.

I have a 150 vision. Ive tried snorkeling and I couldnt see a thing. what can I do??? are there any special contact lenses ?

^ There are reasonably priced prescription goggles.

Contact lenses are never safe when swimming. Because your contacts are essentially sponges, in water they become sponges to pool chemicals and bacteria- not a good mix.

My family and I are staying at the Ocean Club West in the Provodenciales. Is the Water Calm? It there alot of marine life at the surface? We will be going SCUBA diving too, but when we arent we are going to be snorkeling. Is it comparable to Aruba? Thanks!

It’s far better than Aruba. The Turks and Caicos are some of the best islands in the Caribbean. Be sure to take an underwater camera because you will be blown away by some of the marine life you will get to see. Most of the good marine life you want to see won’t be at the surface…. but a few feet down and then some. Parts of the ocean aren’t very deep so you can snorkel down about 10 ft. in parts and you will be amazed. Have fun…. you are going to love it!

The last of the Aruba videos! Check out this natural pool we got to snorkel in. Have you guys ever been snorkeling? There was such awesome stuff to check out down there. Seriously amazing.

I am going on a Mexico Riveria Cruise this coming weekend. Would like to know which of these port of call cities have the best snorkeling spots. The port cities are: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. I have a party of 10 people and would like to go on a private boat charter. Would you please provide the links to the online deals for private boat charter for snorkeling for the above port cities? Thanks in advance.

I think Puerto Vallarta.

There’s an area of rock formations called "Los Arcos" that’s a popular snorkling spot and there are plenty of tour boats that will take you out there. It’s also possible to hire a lancha from the boat docks at Playa las Olas (aka, Playa Muertos).

Have fun!
