2.Private Island & Snorkeling, Turtles, Drinks & BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 69 reviews · from $100Best value

Spend about four hours on a small-group speedboat tour from Paradise Island. Snorkel at Pearl Island and Rose Island, look for green turtles, enjoy a private beach, and have rum punch, water, snacks, and barbecue-style food. Captains such as Mike, Tristan, Jamal, and Brian have led highly praised trips.

“The boat was not suitable for snorkeling trips because it did not have low access to the water. People with limited mobility, older people and children in particular had great problems getting back to the ship. My wife was looking forward to the trip, but had decided not to go on the dives for fear of not getting back on the boat. The two dives were far too short at 15 minutes each. The boat was a speedboat and the crew had fun making the guests wet by driving in extreme curves. Otherwise the crew was friendly and the stop on the island was very nice.”
