What To Expect
Begin your adventure on a beautiful, wide beach—the most protected bay in the Virgin Islands, where calm, clear waters gently meet the shore. This peaceful setting is a favorite hangout for green sea turtles, who graze on the shallow sea grass beds.
From the soft sand, you’ll gently walk into the water—no boats, no deep water, no jumping in. With easy beach access and shallow, sheltered waters, this tour is perfect for beginners and first-time snorkelers. Our experienced guides will be with you every step—helping with gear, teaching you how to snorkel, and pointing out amazing sea life.
Floating comfortably in your life vest, you’ll explore a thriving underwater habitat where sea turtles swim nearby. You may also spot stingrays, pufferfish, squid, colorful reef fish, and even an octopus as you drift from one area to the next.
This is a relaxed, unhurried experience—ideal for nature lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful connection with the sea.
Whether it’s your first time snorkeling or your favorite way to explore, this unforgettable encounter brings you close to the magic of sea turtles—peacefully and naturally.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
