Your captain will choose two of the clearest and calmest locations on the day to begin your snorkeling adventure. Then, if the weather permits, you'll go for a snorkel with your guide as sharks swim calmly below you. Or, if you prefer, you can watch the sharks being fed from the boat. Sharks are one of the most fascinating marine animals you will ever see, and on this cruise you'll see them up close and personal in perfect safety. Participant requirements: • Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian • Children under the age of four not permitted • Participants must have good physical healthWorry-free Shore Excursion: We will ensure your timely return to Nassau for this activity.
