Power Snorkling
We loved our power snorkling experience. My husband drove our boat around to the west side of the island, following our guides boat. Dexter and Bay were our guides. They were very personable and accommodating. The coastline of St Lucia was absolutely stunning. We saw the Pitons from the water. We went into the bay where Dr Dolittle was filmed. They explained the history of the island and pointed out the sights and celebrity houses and hangouts. Loved using the power Snorkeling equipment to get from snorkeling site to site quickly.

Dont Do This Tour.
Worst snorkel experience we have ever been on DONT DO THIS TOUR. they lied and said we would snorkel at anse chastanet but would let us once we got there and the water was calm. We live at the beach and know how to swim. It's just the tour guide was lazy and didn't want to take us he took us to a cheesy and ugly spot instead and we were promised at least 45 minutes of power snorkeling . He only let us snorkel 15 minutes. He was rushed and rough putting on our life jackets and hurt me . Then the power equiptment didn't work so we couldnt power snorkel and as t he guide led us in the water he kicked me twice real hard as he swam. It was a nightmare . And we felt like we didn't even go snorkeling and had to book wth another company that let us stay i. The water a full hour. So she your$ it turned out to be a cheesy boat ride that's it.

Great scenery, hopeless unreliable equipment.
it started well but then the outboard on the 'speedboat' (it's actually a RIB) kept stalling whilst out to sea. The powered snorkelling was hopeless because they kept breaking down. A great trip for scenery and we got back safely but the equipment is quite obviously poorly maintained and when you are going offshore it's somewhat worrying.

St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Choc.
How much does St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries cost?
+
Prices start at $296 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Choc usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Choc is not rushed.
Is St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Choc, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Choc can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Choc and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St. Lucia Speedboat and Power Snorkel From Castries start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Choc within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Choc?
+
On Outty we rank every Choc experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Waterfall and Beach Safari in Santa Lucia, St Lucia Catamaran Day Sailing and Sightseeing Tour, Soufriere Island Delight. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Choc?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Choc?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
