Paradise Cove Day Pass met ophaalservice van Freeport

Paradise Cove is beautiful and we loved snorkeling there. The reef is a long swim out but worth the swim getting back to the shoreline. We did think it was a little unorganized getting there, getting checked in once there, and finally getting to our chairs with our gear. Transportation to the reef was a very old van that had ceiling pieces falling on us. All that to say- swimming and snorkeling Paradise Cove was super cool. They just need to tighten up some organizational things.

Such a fun snorkeling experience. For just a short swim offshore, we got to see sea turtles, all kinds of reef fish, and lots of coral. Loved it!

Our pickup was on time, our guide Nathan was very friendly. Once there we basically had the whole beach to ourselves. The price included a chair, lunch, snack, drink plus another alcoholic drink. Recommended.

The name speaks for itself! Paradise Cove is a hidden gem with amazing snorkeling right out front. Barry has done an amazing job of protecting and conserving the reef. Before you head out, you check in and can choose a package. There are boat tours, guided snorkeling tours, self guided snorkeling tours available for a small fee. We chose the self guided tour for $10/person. They offer equipment rentals, food, and both non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages including fresh coconut water. There are bathroom and changing facilities as well as areas for rinsing feet and a shower to clean up. They have a giant connect four game on a cover deck with plenty of seating areas to hang out and a beautiful gift shop. The snorkeling was top tier! We went out to the drop off and spotted thousands of fish, 2 stingrays, and 5 sea turtles. If you prefer more shallow water snorkeling, Barry installed an artificial reef where you can find a huge variety of wildlife. In every pocket, crevice and hole there were fish, lobster and crabs. You can find sea turtles munching on sea grass in the shallow part of the beach as well. We found 4 swimming back in from the drop off. We spent about 4 hours snorkeling and hanging out and could definitely have booked an extended stay. There were probably 3-4 groups of visitors while we were there, but it felt like we had the ocean to ourselves. The area is so vast, we never swam into any one.

We arrived after 1 pm and had to sign in and attend a mandatory briefing that we found to be a waste of our time as we are experienced snorkelers. This all could have been taken care of on the bus instead of wasting our time which was limited. It is not a 4 hour tour. We were back on the bus by 3 pm. Don't pay the extra money for food, paddle board and kayak as it isn't worth it. The food is reasonably priced so that was a plus. Lounge chairs were included but we could not find anyone to help us and the beach was super tiny and not sure there was anymore room for chairs. It was very rocky to get out to the artificial reef which was limited with things to see. I wish we hadn't wasted our money on this trip.

We had a great time at Paradise Cove. Found the bus off the port easily upon disembarkation. Mr. Parker, who drove the bus, was friendly and knowledgeable. Upon arrival at Paradise Cove, you check in, get your gear, and attend a brief safety meeting where they go over the do's and do not's of snorkeling in the different zones. We swam all the way out to the rocks and beyond, which is a workout. The snorkeling is very good in all of the zones. We saw all kinds of fish, sea turtles, and even a shark in the deeper water. There were some small jellies in the water which they warned us about but none of us got stung. After snorkeling, we hung out on the beach for a while. Drinks are very reasonably priced ($2 sodas, $5 beers). We would definitely go back! Only caveat to this excursion is there is no lifeguard, so it's swim at your own risk, and like I said it is a workout so someone in bad physical condition could have some problems, but anyone in basic good heath/weight/cardio would do fine.

Great spot smaller than I expected but super friendly and great snorkeling with the caveat that you have to swim in very very shallow water to get to the best spot which is being the rocks where its deeper water. Also watch the tide as if the roses going out you need to be a good swimmer even with fins as its a tough swim all the way round against the tide. But overall I would highly recommend it if you like to swim or snorkel

Great spot for snorkeling and Kayaking. Plenty of fish, sea turtles, coral, and Manta rays to be seen. I recommend the day pass which includes beach chairs, equipment rentals and lunch.

We had a great time! Starting with excellent communication beforehand. Barry answered all of my questions via messaging and even called! Mr Parker was our driver from the pier to the resort. He was very informative and personable, making the bus trip very pleasant. Arriving we had a safety briefing and then we were off to explore. I did see a huge sea turtle about 3 feet below me!! Amazing! Later, we enjoyed a few bohemian beers and a fish sandwich. All staff was very friendly and the entire experience was wonderful. I completely recommend this if you are stopping in Freeport.

We had a very good experience. The shuttle was right on time very friendly guide, the shuttle was clean and comfortable. The beach was awesome, the food was good - we had great chairs and snorkel gear which was an amazing experience. I would do it again!
