Best snorkeling for Southern Caribbean Itinerary

[mnsawyer]

Where is the best island to snorkel on the southern caribbean itinerary? Have cruised western itinerary and loved Chanakaab Park on Cozumel. Not sure which island is best? St. Thomas (St. John), Barbados, Aruba? Any suggestions are appreciated. Want to do some tours but not sure which ones based on snorkeling recommendations.

 

Thanks!

Aruba is great... You have to do Baby Beach, one of the top 5 spots in the world to snorkel. Also one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been on. The sand there is like baby powder.

DePalm Island in Aruba is the best place. Baby Beach was destroyed by a hurricane and really doesn't exist anymore.

St. Johns is Great. Good snorkeling in Trunk bay but some say Cinamon Bay is better.

St John has great snorkling but not at trunk bay. There are several beaches between cruise bay and trunk. You have to walk to them on a National Park trail. The dive shop in town or the park service can direct you. The reef at Trunk bay with the trail markers is mostly dead and hasn't got much color compaired with the others. Dean
