Which snorkel trip on Windspirit St. Martin Caribbean Cruise?

If you could only do one or two snorkeling excursions in the following Windspirit itinerary in early march which would you choose?
St. Kitts Snorkel Adventure Tour
Tortola Snorkel Tour
Jost Van Dyke Sailing Tour
Virgin Gorda Snorkel Tour or The Baths by 4x4
St. Barts Sailing Catamaran & Snorkeling Adventure Tour
St. Mrtin Catamaran Sail to Tintamarre Tour

or what else do you recommend?

Thanks for your advice!

The snorkeling on St. Kitts is below average at best so I'd skip that tour if I were you. On your itinerary you'll find the "best" snorkeling in the BVI's especially around Virgin Gorda so if snorkeling is a high priority for you I'd concentrate my efforts there.

I'd choose this on St. Martin. It was a blast.Then I'd choose The Bath's on Virgin Gorda. Quite unique and the drive there is beautiful.

On Jost Van Dyke, if you anchor in White Bay, I'd just go ashore. It's a great beach with The Soggy Dollar for drinks, and snorkeling along the rocky sides of the beach. If you anchor inGreat Bay, it's OK but not as nice.

Tortola would be a good place to snorkel,especially if they take you to Norman Island caves.

St. Bart's,I'd rent a car, very easy and picturesque to drive around to several beaches. Otherwise head for St. Jean beach.

You'll also be doing a beach BBQ, maybe at Prickly Pear island. Very nice and you can rent jet skis or just float around.

St. Kitt's wasn't our favorite, but we did hear good things about the rainforrest tour.

We've been on the Windspirit, Windsurf, and Star Flyer in this area and enjoyed them all.

Have fun!

Good advice.

Do consider Anguilla at the end of your trip
