Which port has better snorkling? Nassau or Coco Cay?

If you have your own mask snorkel and fins, you can go snorkeling for free at coco cay. I do not know much about the snorkeling in Nassau. At coco cay you have a little but of a surface swim in coco cay but at low tide you can walk most if the way. Also at coco cay RCCL have sunk an air plane and other things to look at.

Thanks for your tips.

Never been to Coco Cay, but Nassau has excellent snorkeling.

If your port times permit, book with Stuart's Cove. Here were my post cruise comments:

 

 

Nassau: “Snorkel Bahamas Adventure” is a 5-½ hour trip operated by Stuart’s Cove. On a previous excursion I went on the impressive Athol Island snorkel. This Stuart’s Cove outing surpassed all of my previous experiences, including Athol Island. The boat trip is @ three hours, and visits Schoolhouse Reef, the spectacular Golden Key Reef and finally a “swim with the sharks” at ‘The Wreck of the Bahama Mama’. I have never before witnessed such a number and variety of fish as at Golden Key. There are never-ending fish, large and small, singly and in large schools. The floor is decorated with huge, magnificent coral formations of all shapes and sizes. While there, a shark cruised past our group. He obviously thought this was his ocean and didn’t know, nor care, that we weren’t scheduled for a shark encounter until after Golden Key. Surprisingly, getting in with a dozen or so sharks is not frightening. I suspect we were too caught up with their grace and magnificence to be scared. The crew drops a bait bucket on the bottom, about fifteen to twenty feet deep. We float above them, watching the sharks feed. Best of all is when we return to the boat. A crew member baits the end of a metal pole holding it in the air over the aft end. The sharks leap up to grab the treat. It's amazing how graceful they are. The sharks, not the crew members.:p

This is a five star, gold medallion trip!

I really like Coco Cay. If you don't have your own equipment, it is not very expensive to rent it for the day. We have found to go earlier in the day before there is too much activity. We have always seen lots of fish, rays, coral. Water is so clear.
