Snorkel Trips
 
I will be attending a family reunion in St Thomas and 16 of us will want to take a snorkel trip to the BVI...Baths...Cooper Island, etc. Can anyone recommend a good tour operator for the trip? Any other tips and ideas for a group this size would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi, We used Colin last month with another couple. We decided where we wanted to go, and he made suggestions. Our main goal was to snorkel. The four of us decided ahead of time to take a packed lunch instead of taking the time to wait for lunch to be made. Colin will do what you want and go where you want. Good luck. Owa

A lot of people rave about New Horizons II.

We were going to go with them for a day trip to the BVI, but then decided to stay on Virgin Gorda a few nights instead of the one day trip.

Did you ever think about the Moorings in Belize. The snorkeling is 100+% better than the B.V.I.'s. The problem is a nice boat gor 16 is hard to come-bye, I would think.

We go to St Thomas every year and New Horizons is consistently good. We try others but always spend at least one day on NH and wonder why we ever bothered with the others

I went with New Horizons from St Thomas 4/06 my friends and I had a great time. Went to the Baths...then snokeling (though if you can take the ferry to St John the snorkeling is the best) then to lunch at Pussers...great view and lastly Jost Van Dyke(which you jump off the boat and swim to)...Breakfast, snacks and beverages included (though you do pay for your lunch)
