Planning angle

Snorkeling trips need more than a pretty photo. Check whether snorkeling is allowed, whether fins or masks are required, if floats are permitted and whether children or non-swimmers are a fit. Use the spring cards above to narrow the trip, then check official sources for current hours, fees, reservations, closures and water access.
