prpattycakes Posted February 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Does anyone know if there is free snorkeling on the beach once we arrive in port? I do not want to pay for excursions, I want to relax on the beach, but when the kids go to play in the water, are they allowed to snorkel on their own?

As long as they already have the gear, the snorkeling there is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to rent whatever you want if you don't bring it 'cause only the water part is free. Scubatoys has these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild hogs Posted April 11, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Do you know how much it is to rent snorkel gear at the Grand Turk cruise center? How far from this center is the area to snorkle? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSCPA Posted April 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Unless you kids are VERY young..they dont need vest...The water is so salty you pretty much float without effort. Bring your gear...It was the BEST port to snorkel...the visability was excellent and we saw MANY different fish!! Right off the Maragrittaville Beach...it was free. We brought our own gear and snokeled EVERY port but San Juan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaParrotHead Posted April 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Do you have to use flippers to snorkle? No, I think they're a pain in the butt. LOL. No need for me to swim fast while snorkeling. Float, relax and take pics is more my snorkeling speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
