Sail and Snorkel Cruise

Amazing CREW and EXPERIENCE
October 11, 2023
This was my first cruise and excursion of this type. We booked this through cruises online and everyone on carnival warned us to only book through them. So we were nervous at first. But once we made it to the location off of the directions our nerves were calmed. The crew was AMAZING and the Captain was personable. The snorkeling was AWESOME and well explained for beginners. When we came in from snorkeling we talked with the Captain and he pointed out the other catamaran that had all the people from our Carnival cruise on it and it was packed. I think we had a much better experience and definitely received more one on one attention on our excursion. The Captain even took us back to the port and dropped us with the other people who booked through Carnival excursions. I would definitely do this again and recommend for anyone who has never snorkeled to try this excursion.

Amazing experience!
March 26, 2020
This was an amazing experience. Very organized, beautiful views on the boat. They sailed out for about 30-40 minutes out in the sea. Then we dove in the middle of nowhere where the water blue and clear! they took well care of us and were always aware of us to make sure we were safe. It was an amazing experience. They provided drinks after the snorkeling and they were nice and strong! Make sure to give them gratuity at the end, these people work very hard and are so hospitable towards us tourists, they truly take care of us and are young kids working hard and keeping the equipment in good hygiene! This was my first time snorkeling. However, I am a professional swimmer, my partner was very afraid of the water. One of the employees was a remarkable and the kindest with him and took care of him as we went through our excursion. Thank you so much!

Just wish it was longer...
February 12, 2020
When we met our guide we were quite surprised to find out that there were only going to be 8 guests on the excursion!!! Our catamaran was a top-of-the-line 65' boat with everything you could hope for. Our group of 4 parked on one of the nets and enjoyed a leisurely boat ride out to the snorkel area. They had a crew of 5 and one of them did a great job narrating and engaging us as we passed all the fancy houses. We snorkeled for a while then headed back and broke out the rum punch! Some things to note... They don't feed you They don't serve alcohol until the 45 min ride back They do have a bathroom on board It's too short!!! They drop you off outside the security gate on the far side of the port. It's not the same place as you started. We opted to walk out to Junkanoo Beach from here but just be aware that you will be in a different location than where you started. We would absolutely do this again, especially if we could guarantee such a small party!

Our family enjoyed the sail and snorkel cruise during our visit to the Bahamas. The water was a little chilly in December but what an amazing experience. There were hundreds of beautiful fish to see and the ride on the boat was wonderful. We traveled with our 12 and 7 year old girls. I would say, any younger and you might want to pass. Our 7 year old lost interest pretty quickly and it was tough for her to swim with the gear on.

Fun day but rough weather!
January 13, 2020
We went on this for our Christmas cruise with a group of 16 people! It was really fun until the weather came in and it was really rough to snorkel. Then we had to head back early but to make up the time we sailed around by the ships. It was overall a lot of fun - I just wish the weather was better. But the crew gave us our time! (I will side note - I picked this excursion over another catamaran one offered through Carnival after reading the reviews and I am really glad I did! Our boat was not over packed at all and we sat and watched as the other catamaran put about 100 people on it! We have maybe 40!)

This is an ideal excursion to take from the cruise ship. It’s close (we walked right to the dock), safe, the crew was great, and the snorkeling spot they took us to was beautiful. You’re guaranteed to see amazing marine life. I didn’t expect it to be so scenic & my only regret was not bringing an underwater camera or GoPro.

Our entire family enjoyed this snorkeling cruise! The sail to get out to the reef was a little long for the kids (especially since we had an uncovered seat in the back—no breeze—on the way).

August 11, 2019
Starting the day was a little confusing. It is not exactly clear where to check in or which boat you'll be assigned. The gentleman checking us in was extremely helpful. There were about 3 different gentlemen to check in with. It almost appeared as if they were paid by the number of people they checked in. After we boarded, we had plenty of options for seating. The boat was not overcrowded. It was a pleasant ride out to the reef. The hosts aided us in finding fish. It was kind of rough getting on the boat after we finished - tide not boat was the issue. The ride back was a tour around the island. That was interesting since you do not see the other side of Nassau from the cruise ship. I would recommend this excursion to others. They supply the snorkels, fins and mask. So you don't have to be concerned with not having these items.

Our family of 4 chose this excursion as our primary activity in the Bahamas. The man was at the gate as the instructions said and everyone was very nice. The boat was pretty full with people but still plenty of space. the trip in and out of port was nice and relaxing with easy seas. The staff gave all the instructions for safety and device use. We had provided drinks and nice music with plenty of time in the water for most. My only complaint is that the location where we snorkeled was crowded with 4 other tours, from other companies, and so the fish variety was few and the visibility was spotty. My daughter loved her first snorkel adventure and we will be doing it again.

This standard snorkeling trip was easy to book, easy to find from the cruise ship and took us to a great spot with clear waters and abundantly colorful fish. The snorkel and fins where of poor quality and for me the mask was too small. But certainly adequate for the adventure. The crew simply took us to the spot and brought us back as expected with no fanfare. They could have been more helpful in explaining the location and the interesting landscape we were passing such as the notable stars homes and the like.

This was 1 of the best excursion I have taking compared to others. The Sail and Snorkel delivered both aspects of its title. Going out to the snorkel spot was about 30 to 45 minutes as one of the guides pointed out interesting spots, the snorkel half was an hour long if you decided to stay in the water for the duration of time, with ample supervision from the guides. and the Sail portion of the trip was another hour long sail around the islands and interesting parts of the Bahamas, It was truly worth the money spent. Wish I would have brought extra cash to tip at the end of the excursion.

We were hesitant to try this with our 6 and 9 year old girls because they are not excellent swimmers. The team supplied blow-up life jackets that fit them pretty well and made me more comfortable about the girls being in the water. Unfortunately it was mid- December so my youngest daughter was in and out of the water very quickly due to the cold water. Overall, a good time was had by all! I did not provide 5 stars because when we arrived at the designated meeting site at the stated time no one from the tour company was there.

We've been to Nassau about a dozen times and have taken several different excursions. This time the crew took us to Rose Island, which was the best snorkeling I've ever done in Nassau. Then we sailed back on the north side of Paradise Island, which I also hadn't done. It was the best excursion yet! Please understand that they take you to different snorkeling spots depending on weather, so there's no guarantee you'll get luck like us and go to Rose Island.

Best excursion in Nassau
July 19, 2017
I have been on snorkel trips before but this was the best one I have been on in a while. The folks on the boat provided us information on the area, showed us the island where Gilligan's island was filmed and took good care of us in the water. They even set us up with a nice lady after the trip that took us to a shop where we could buy specific items we were looking for while in Nassau. Excellent trip.

OK EXPERIENCE
July 13, 2017
The sailing was nice but the snorkel experience for a newbie was not very accommodating. Us newbies were in need of help with the life jackets and getting into the water. No help was offered, we asked for help from other vacationers. Also, the equipment was not that great. The masks leaked...I would not go again.

The Sail and Snorkel Excursion in Nassau Bahamas was a wonderful experience! The boat crew were absolutely professional and caring to the group.

This was the best deal, the most fun, such a great island experience. There were several almost identical boats close to where we stopped to snorkel that were run by the cruise lines, they did the same thing we did, the only thing different was the price. Cruise ship charges a lot more. The young adults that ran the boat were fun and helpful. The music was great, the rum punch was plentiful and all you cared to drink. Perfect day.

Tour was delayed getting started and the boat stopped on the way out to get supplies (seemed odd). We were a little late getting back so we did get the full time they advertised. Crew was friendly, and got us to a reef. Wish they would have got us closer. Also, they could have done a better job explaining where the reef was. I Saw a few fish but there was no abundance of wildlife here. After everyone was done snorkeling it was time for the trip back. Then the party started. The rum punch was plentiful and the crew had everyone laughing and dancing in no time. Overall a nice day on a nice boat. We would do this again.

Friendly Staff on a hot day
July 30, 2016
Meeting up with the group was a bit confusing because when you follow the directions on the ticket, there's no one there but a guard. We didn't leave until half an hour after our scheduled time-the whole time we were nervous we'd missed the boat. Once the group finally came (I have no idea where they were) we were off. The ride was calming and the staff was friendly. We weren't aware we'd be snorkeling in the middle of the ocean, in the past we've done it within view of the shore. That was a bit unnerving and the waves are stronger out there. But we had fun nonetheless.

January 08, 2016
Overall, the excursion was good. We were told to be at meeting point at 12:45, which we were. However, our excursion guide did not show up until 1:10, which caused me to be very anxious as if we were going to miss the excursion. And when he did show up late, he had a large group of other tourists already with him for our excursion, which told me we received incorrect meeting point instructions from both CruisesOnly and from the local security guard who told us we were in the correct spot and to just wait. This was very stressful. However once we got onto the catamaran, it was a very relaxing 45 minute ride to the snorkel site. Snorkeling was fun, but didn't see much. The rides to and from were long so I wished the guides would have told us some history of the area or about the islands we were passing. They didn't say anything the entire ride. It was a relaxing trip but the guides could've been better.

November 04, 2015
We had a great experience on this snorkeling adventure. Our family of four, including a 9 & 7 yr old had a great time seeing underwater life. We wish we could have snorkeled longer and for the price we did think we would have more time than we did. I would recommend this trip to anyone new to snorkeling or to families. The guides were helpful and knowledgeable. I wish they would have told the names of the fish we saw but we looked them up ourselves after we got home. We took an underwater camera so our memories are saved beyond just that moment. At the beginning there was engine trouble on our boat and we felt during the waiting process we were uninformed of why there was such a long delay or what might be done in event we were unable to actually go. Once resolved we had a great time! As a consumer I would have appreciated some type of compensation for the delay -- perhaps a 15% refund of purchase price or even an extension of snorkeling time. Overall -- I recommend and would even go again myself if I had the opportunity!

April 18, 2015
Our trip was a lot of fun and not too crowded. The crew would throw food off the side of the catamaran so hundreds of fish would surround us when we were snorkeling. The reef was beautiful and there were plenty of different fish and coral to see. The rum, or plain, punch served to us on the way back wasn't the best but at least it was something. The company assured us we would be back in time to meet our cruise ship, and we even had time to look around the port of Nassau! The other sail and snorkel tour booked through the cruise line was very crowded, but not our catamaran. We went to the same place and it felt more intimate, as we were a much smaller group. This was the best choice as far as I'm concerned!

Unlike my last cruise guided snorkeling excursion, this one was not over crowded, you had plenty of reef area to explore with lots of colorful fish, reef formations. Lots of fun for the family spent a little more than an hour in the water.

I think this was a great value and lots of fun! There was plenty of reef to snorkel around and I got to see lots of great marine life! This was my first time snorkeling, so I can not compare to other places, but I really enjoyed it! Overall, I would recommend this excursion!

Small group, enjoyed space to relax compared to ship excursion which was very crowded. Took our own snorkeling gear so can't comment on their gear. Lots of fish, coral, even a few rays.

We truly enjoyed our experience with Shore Excursions Group! Booking was easy, the directions to the Catamaran were pretty easy to follow, the guides were very friendly and all had such a great attitude! They brought us out to a beautiful reef to snorkel and had delicious Rum Punch ready for us when we got back on the boat. What's even better is that we were not stuck on an overcrowded excursion, like the ones offered through the cruise ships. We will definitely look into Shore Excursions Group when we do our next cruise!

We wanted to snorkel, but wanted to avoid the crowd on the Carnival excursion. I'm so glad we booked this one! We had 8 passengers on our catamaran....we were in the water almost immediately upon arrival at our destination after a short safety briefing. After we had been snorkeling a while the catamaran from the ship tour showed up and it was packed with at least 100 people. It took them so long to hand out gear and talk to everyone we finished our snorkeling and were leaving by the time they were finally getting in the water....and then they were all bumping into one another. This was definitely the best way to go! The crew was awesome too!

Went on the snorkel trip. My wife had NO experience. The lifeguard took her by the hand and stayed with her the whole hour we were in the water. It was just what she needed to enjoy the trip. Me too as I was free to swim and take pics.

The staff was very professional. The vessel was extremely clean. We had a fairly small group (maybe 20-25 people). It was very nice to have a small group, compared to the cruise line excursion. The equipment was clean and effective. While snorkeling, one of the staff was is in the water with us. On the way back, the rum punch was delicious and refreshing. The staff was very attentive to our needs. I would definitely do this excursion again.

Use the Vest & Bring Earplugs...
September 18, 2012
The reef was beautiful and there were fish everywhere. Very enjoyable! Guides did a good job explaining snorkeling but suggested flotation vests only if you couldn't swim. Unless you want to get really tired, wear the vest! It makes things a lot easier. One complaint: It really isn't necessary to play really loud hip-hop ""music"" all the way out to the reef and back. That adds nothing to the scenery, and not everyone likes hip hop.

We booked through [@] instead of the cruise ship and we were so glad that we did. Our catamaran excursion left from the pier as well but had many fewer people on it and the cruise ship packed as many on as they could. Our catamaran crew was friendly and took us to a great and uncrowded spot to snorkel. We really enjoyed our trip and would greatly recommend! Free drinks on the way back too...

This was a nice snorkeling trip. It was not as crowded as the tours arranged on the cruise ship. The crew was very friendly and took us on a nice long ride out to the coral reef. There was rum punch and chips served on the return trip. All equipment was provided.

Nice Snokling Excursion
January 20, 2012
Beautiful boat (80 ft catamaran) with a very helpful and friendly crew. Scenery and reef where we snorkeled were beautiful. Only drawback was the captain said we would sail after snorkling and we didn't even though there was plenty of breeze/wind for such. My wife who is an experienced sailor was not happy about this because she was looking forward to doing some actual sailing. All he did was raise the sail and slowly motor us back in. The wife said that was him just being lazy.

I purchased this package for my daughter and grandson. It was perfect. Not crowded like the ships trip. The crew gave individual attention to my family and they were thrilled with the adventure. I would not hesitate to purchase this trip again. The crew went out of their way to make this a good trip for Kathy and PJ.

Better snorkeling excursion than offered
July 12, 2011
Good snorkeling excursion. I prefered the smaller cataraman sailing vessel than the cruise option of a motorized boat. Our boat selected a different snorkeling site than what was normal due to ocean conditions and it was an excellent site. The catamaran motored out to the snorkle site, but did sail back to the ship. They also sailed us over to Paradise Island to get off after the excursion was over. The cruise's larger boat went to their published site and the feedback we got was mediocre on their dive site.
