Creator's Key Takeaways

We arrived on the Enchanted Princess cruise ship and skipped the paid excursions in favor of a self-guided snorkeling trip.

The water is shallow enough to be up close and personal to several species of colorful fish.

It was so peaceful, all inspiring experience that I shall never forget.

If you have a chance, swim out a little further to the drop off or the trench.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own snorkel gear to make the excursion free.
Arrive early to secure free lounge chairs.
Use white vinegar to relieve jellyfish sting pain.
Swim past the seagrass area to reach the coral reefs.
