The Best Snorkeling Spots with Starliner Dream Tours

This shallow reef system is ideal for beginners and families. Float above colorful coral heads while watching schools of tropical fish, sea fans, and sometimes even eagle rays.

2. Barrier Reef

More advanced snorkelers love the deeper waters and dramatic drop-offs here. Expect to see larger fish, vibrant corals, and maybe even a sea turtle or two.

3. Stingray City Reef

Adjacent to the famous sandbar, this reef offers a mix of shallow snorkeling and gentle currents, often paired with up-close stingray encounters.

4. Secret Local Reefs

Captain David often takes guests to hidden snorkel spots known only to locals—less trafficked, incredibly scenic, and full of marine surprises.
