Gecko Bus Question
 
Thinking of going to T&C this fall. We love to snorkel off the beach.Can we reach Coral Gardens and Smith Reef snorkling areas by using the Gecko bus? Thanks!

Yes, the gecko goes there. We went there via the gecko last year.

gecko def does coral gardens. mah and kristen does it go all the way to turtle cove marina? monique if it does you will still need to walk a ways to smiths. there is a dirt road just east of marina. go down to dead end (pass morman church on right, over tiny bridge, and yacht club hotel on right). turn left. walk to end of that road into sandy parking area. then walk back on the beach until you see some rock carins on the beach (past 4-5 villas) directly in front of those rocks is where you should go in the water. otherwise you will walk over ironshore and maybe corals. once in the water there is a great reef to circle just out -100yds?- to your left.(there are some very shallow places in this spot so please be careful not to touch) then twice as far out on the right is another good place. you should see bigger things at smiths but coral gardens has some very nice specimens like large schools of blue tangs. the walk in from marina will take maybe a 1/2 hr.
