Thread: best cy,boat, to snorkel ?? pls advise

I did read the entire forum but did not find what we are looking for so that is why I kindly like some advice : .


We will visit on our upcoming cruise ( March ) Carnival Valor
The Cayman Islands (have been there did the stingray, want to do it again )
Roatan
Belize
Cozumel ( have been there did go to palancar, sorry the part we did, at that time, it was not great)



Snorkeling is our top favorite, second favorite is island touring
where should we go, with whom should we go with, to see coral, fish, dolphins, sharks, ….. that sweeps us away ?

We are very strong swimmers ( are snorkeling for almost 30 years and have seen a lot, yes we are very lucky we know) we are not afraid of strong current and deep sea and are fully equipped.

If we should hire a boat, dive cy, tour organization : we hate cattle boats with booze and loud music (they throw up where you have to snorkel, really have been through that )
Which one can you advise us ?
We are not looking for a long day at sea and an half an hour of snorkeling ( do not need a tan to prove that we have been on a holiday ) and I am on a cruise so will be on a boat for the whole week.

-Isla Roatan which place is the best one to snorkel, which cy ?

have read about taking a seaplane seems great to, anyone done that ? Which cy ?

If we could do both go on a snorkel trip combined with an island tour even better but really a few fish and some rocks simply cannot tempt us anymore.

I thank you very very much for all your help and hope to get some good idea’s

Have a great day

In my opinion, Roatan has some of the very best snorkeling in the Caribbean.

The waters off the Bay Islands (Roatan is one of the Bay Islands of Honduras) are home to a decent population of Whale Sharks, particularly between the Islands of Roatan and Utila.

Here's a link to a site for a tour company that does custom day tours, and it sounds like they might be able to accomodate your needs. This is not a recommendation, as I have never used them, but ran across them... and it sounds like it might be worth checking out:

thanks will check it out
have a great evening
