Snorkeling In The Bahamas

Long Island Bahamas Snorkeling

Divided by the Tropic of Cancer, our Long Island Bahamas all-inclusive vacation destination offers weather conditions that are most enjoyable year-round … and ideal for snorkeling. Surrounded by the turquoise blue of the Exuma Sound on the lee side and the deep rich blue of the Atlantic on the east, unspoiled Long Island boasts high cliffs and rolling headlands, peaceful coves and secluded beaches. Offshore on the Atlantic side and on the Caribbean side, look for a wide variety of hard corals, soft corals and abundant fish life in crystal clear water. It’s a picture-perfect destination for Bahamas snorkeling!

Our Bahamas snorkeling destination offers boat access to some 15 miles of shoreline with an array of hard and soft corals and an abundance of fish and colorful sea life in crystal clear water. Ideal for anyone with an interest in Bahamas snorkeling – whether you’re a beginner of a seasoned snorkeler – the area offers a multitude of Bahamas snorkeling locations, including Columbus Harbor and The Caves, that appeal to snorkelers and divers of all levels.

Small bays and coves offer exploration in the incredibly clear Bahamian waters. Bahamas snorkeling is a fun and easy activity, and Stella Maris allows guests to strike off on their own or join in a guided excursion. Either way, our guests soon realize that the only difficult thing about Bahamas snorkeling is getting out of the water at the end of the day.

Bahamas snorkeling is one of Stella Maris Resort’s free activities available to any guest staying with us on a nightly or inclusive package rate plan (is not included in the vacation rental rate plan).

Bahamas snorkeling excursions are daily. Five days of the week we select from our various sites accessible from shore. Twice a week Bahamas snorkeling is offered in combination with our boat trip. The activity is free. There is a charge of $6 per day if a guest has not brought along his own snorkeling gear and needs to use ours.

Snorkelers may join in on a SCUBA diving boat trip. There is a charge of $30 per person for snorkelers accompanying a dive excursion. (plus gear rental if needed).

Bahamas snorkeling excursions are not guided, but when we take snorkelers to a site, we explain to them the conditions, and topography as well as what they are most likely to see at the site – turtles, coral, fish, etc. This is also in the site descriptions on the snorkeling page now.
