Excursion Description

Charlotte Amalie is one of the most popular ports in the Caribbean and when your Carnival cruise arrives there you’ll understand why. It offers fantastic beaches, clear turquoise water, historic sites, and duty-free shopping. But below the sea there is a whole other world to explore among the many colorful reefs around St. Thomas.

The Two Island Power Cat Snorkeling Adventure shore excursion begins when you board a catamaran for a cruise to Turtle Cove, a secluded island that offers one of the best snorkeling locations in the Caribbean. Put on your snorkeling gear and you’re ready to take the plunge into the crystal clear water. As you float on the surface, watch curious turtles as they glide alongside you and see the variety of colorful tropical fish among the live corals. Your tour guide can help you identify much of the marine life you see.

After leaving Turtle Cove, you’ll cruise to Mystery Cove for your second snorkeling experience. Here you’ll view underwater coral gardens teeming with such sea creatures as turtles, rays, octopuses, moray eels, and tropical fish both big and small.

Upon leaving the cove, you’ll be treated to complimentary bottled water, sodas, beer, rum drinks and lively music on your return cruise. Along the way, see historic Hassel Island that was used by the Danes to defend the busy harbor at Charlotte Amalie in the 18^th and 19^th centuries. Here are the remains of the Creque Railway, one of the earliest steam-powered marine railways in the western hemisphere and perhaps the oldest surviving example of such a railway. You can also view the ruins of several British buildings such as Fort Willoughby that was constructed around 1802.

As you cruise back to the pier, enjoy the spectacular panorama of Charlotte Amalie Harbor, the emerald green island of St. Thomas and the surrounding cays against the backdrop of a beautiful blue sky. At the end of your snorkeling adventure, you’ll receive free temporary tattoos and web photos as souvenirs before returning to your “Fun Ship.”
