Snorkel Excursion

Recommended Posts

We are taking an Oceania Cruise in November and would like to do a snorkel excursion from amongst the ship options.  The following is what is listed for St Lucia:

 

  • Cruise to a marine park that is absolutely teeming with tropical fish.
  • Snorkel along the shallow reefs and coral heads, looking for marine life other than fish.
  • Relax onboard or swim over to the beach, if you prefer not to snorkel the whole time.
Cruise along St. Lucia’s beautiful northwestern coast to Marine Park, an extraordinary site for snorkeling. Although the trip there will be magnificently scenic, few sights compare to the park’s underwater wonders. The labyrinth of shallow reefs and coral heads provide habitats for all sorts of brightly colored tropical fish including French grunts, goatfish, jacks and snappers. You may also spot sea urchins, starfish and occasional octopuses tucked away in the rocks and crevices. Flying gurnards are especially fascinating, as these bottom dwellers typically expand their fins like wings to scare off predators. You won’t have to snorkel the entire time, as you can always rest aboard the boat or relax on the beach. As you make your way back, refreshments will be served on board
 
It is listed as a half day at $79 per person.  I cannot tell from this description what the venue is to see reviews.
Any help is appreciated

Most likely, you'll be heading to Anse Cochon aka Ti Kaye resort area. Excellent reef system, downed plane, crystal clear water, calm, etc.  

Otherwise, it's up around Pigeon Island. Not as extensive and healthy at AC area, but still very very good. 

Enjoy
