Snorkeling - any tour recommendations?

[mathed101]

We are a group of 6 looking for a boat tour to do some snorkeling at Jalousie Beach and Anse Chastanet Beach and Reef. After reading many reviews it makes sense to find boat transportation instead of getting to these beaches by land. Spencer's tour sounds like it has the right combination but the delivery seems to be inconsistent. 

Dive Fair Helen seems pretty good but we wouldn't leave on the tour until 10:00 am and they don't specifically say where they actually snorkel. Anybody use them?

 

Has anyone used anyone else for the same type of tour?

 

Thanks for any and all information!

Anybody take a private tour with Israel King Water Taxi?

They have excellent reviews and go to 3 perfect places to snorkel.

How about Solomon water taxi?

Solomon, Israel King, Shashamane, etc are all excellent operators. Keep in mind that they're speedboats, low to the water, more "canoe" style - usually no ladders or such, you're dropping over the side and climbing back in. And no facilities. You'll need to be agile.

Mystic Man offers a snorkeling tour also, popular with cruise  passengers - via a typical power boat, with onboard facilities, ladder, etc 

Depends what you need...
