Best snorkeling? Aruba, Curacao, or Grand Turk

[adamsm1]

We will be visiting these ports in a week and were wondering which one has the best snorkeling.

I am interested in the first and last. So am posting this to stay in the loop on the comments :). Hope you enjoy your cruise in 3 weeks

Curacao has pretty good shore snorkeling. Last time we went with curious2dive for diving and snorkeling. It was very good.

 

For Aruba, there are lots of nice beaches but not all good for snorkeling. There are some boat snorkeling, and decent diving (especially the wreck Antila). But it's not top of the diving/snorkeling destinations.

 

Grand Turk has good diving/snorkeling. Clear and calm water, and wall not too far from shore. There are a few boat snorkeling ops, but they are not cheap, often $40/p and need minimum 4 people to go out.

We went Power Snorkeling with Aruba Bob in Aruba! Fantastic excursion, we opted for the private one and it was just the two of us and a guide. We snorkeled about a mile and spent more time underwater than any excursion I've ever been before! Amazing fish, beautiful water, professional guides, just a great afternoon! Plus the guide takes the pics, we had about 125 pics emailed to us while we were still on the ship!

Hey Martha, what was the cost of the excursion and how long was it? Did they provide all the transportation?

Of the three you listed our choice would be Aruba! :)
