This review is about the snorkel trip but I will give you a little feedback on the park as well. The snorkel trip is $35.00 a person and it covers the trip plus equipment.

First of all, it was our FIRST experience with snorkeling. We were a bit anxious about this but the captain and first mate were so nice and patient that they made us confident. Their instructions and answers were always nice and fully detailed. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who has never snorkeled.
PROS :
1) Beautiful coral reefs. We...

This almost 3 hour tour is better than Gilligan and the Skipper provided!! Our glass bottom boat went out through mangrove forests to the barrier coral reefs.

We mostly snorkeled around here. Saw really interesting things. We even enjoyed the fake cannons rolling around just off-shore.

We loved everything about John Pennekamp except for the customer service, for some reason most employees were less than friendly. Other than that we had an amazing snorkeling experience, there are great beaches for the kids and you can rent kayaks and canoes to paddle around in the mangroves. I would love to go back and camp!

What a credit to the parks department. It is well maintained and the glass bottom boat tour was reasonable and informative. Plan on spending a day at this lovely site.

Went snorkeling right off the main beach along the right hand side rocks and saw lots of colorful fish.
