OK everyone....has anyone taken THIS new horizons trip the local one to st john and another island...it is on the sail boat and sounds a little less rough (my guests might not be up for the long trip to the baths)
what do you think...

FULL DAY SNORKEL ADVENTURE (9:15 AM TO 4:00 PM - $110 PER PERSON)
if you book on line it is 99

This is the one activity you should not miss. It offers something for everyone. And is the perfect way to see the best of what the Virgin Islands is all about!

Snorkel at 2 different tropical islands aboard New Horizons. Enjoy a continental breakfast of a variety of fresh muffins as you sail over to the National Park in St. John. Spend several hours snorkeling and exploring these famous pristine coral reefs in the National Park. New Horizons will provide you with top of the line snorkeling equipment and instruction FOR FREE!

The National Park offers amazingly clear and UNCROWDED waters, hundreds of colorful fish and spectacular reefs. This snokel location presents great opportunities to see angelfish and sergeant majors as well as the splendid elkhorn and fan coral.

After snorkeling, the chef will present you with a hot Italian Gourmet lunch accompanied by tropical blended drinks. For the non-meat lovers, a Vegetarian menu is available . Time for lunch!

*OUR MENU*
Hot Italian Meatballs baked in a homemade Marinara Sauce and Smothered with melted Mozzarella Cheese
Tri-colored fusilli pasta mixed with Fresh Vegetables that consist of Broccoli, Cauliflower, & Carrots in a Caesar dressing
Green Beans Tossed with Crumbled Feta Cheese, Onion, Dill & a Creamy Italian Dressing
An Assortment of Meats, Cheese and French Bread
Montage of Fresh Fruits & Vine Ripened Seasonal Fruits
Homemade Double Fudge Brownies topped with Kiwi, baked right on board
And of course our famous tropical blended "Nooners" (Yes, we have a Blender on board!)

After lunch we hoist anchor and make our way to a second stop, usually one of the uninhabited cays in the Sound, where you can swim and enjoy more refreshments (the Pain killers have made their way topside).

Another chance to snorkel the Coral Reef, and then a leisurely downwind sail back to the dock by 4:00PM. You will depart happy after a fun exhilarating day with us - the best day of your vacation.

$110 per person - ½ Price for kids under 12 (Babies under 2 are free)

Marty, you make us all laugh. Goodfellas is one of my all tine favorites. I crack up every time he says "yoots".

I have not been on scubadu, but have seen it and it looks great. I have spoken with other captains that think very highly of it. I've heard the food is quite gourmet. For the price it should be. I thought about booking it this summer when I go back, but I'm not sure my 12 year old would her (my) moneys worth.

I've done NH2 and been to the Baths a few times and maybe it's just me, but I have never thought is was that great a day. The boat ride is great, but the Baths themselves is just ok IMHO. It is a very structured trip. They are on a very strict time frame for every stop, and it all seems so structured. I also think the Baths would be more fun if you did not stay in a group and have to follow the leader all the way through.

I am thinking of hiring a boat and captain and just go exploring through the BVI for the day.
