The 15 Best Snorkelling Trips in the Bahamas

36 tours  ·  from $99 a head

The reef starts close to shore and the water rarely drops below 24 degrees, so the decision is about the stops, not the season. These 15 cover reef heads, wrecks and the shallow turtle flats, priced and clear about gear, guides and time in the water.

The beach club is beautiful, the ocean colours are a true representation of Bahamian Blues, which I’m a total fan of. The attention from the crew was excellent, very patient, great at check-in, kind and attentive during the whole excursion. We spent good 3.5 hours of our day relaxing and enjoying the activity. The encounter with the pigs was really funny, you would never imagine how lucky this animals are to live in such a beautiful environment. They are well taken care of and staff explained everything detailed…”
