snrokel at Rhodes Hall

[seekingthesun]

Is there a boat at Rhodes Hall to take you out snorkelling? When and what time? Can't wait to see some fish!

Hey STS

I didn't see any boat when we were there last April.

However there's lots of fish to see just off the shoreline where the infinity pool is located. Check close to shore where the rock drops straight into the water. Also in the little bay and around the concrete pier. They've thrown some cinder blocks in the water to the left of the pier and it is home to plenty of tropical fish. In most places it's not over your head.

Some people were snorkeling out farther but I was quite content with the show near the shoreline. It seems to be mostly coral all around.

Here's a picture of the bay from the infinity pool.

We visited RH for a webcast..took our snorkel equipment and we were off. There is a great easy entrance to the water and it is quite easy to get to several reefs there. I was truly surprised at just how good the snorkeling was there! Really good! There is really no need for a boat unless you don't have snorkel equipment. It would be worth you getting your own snorkel gear, especially if you really enjoy it. We snorkel the cliffs and anywhere we can. With that said, we do still really enjoy our trips to the bigger reefs with Vincent. For RH, you will be pleasantly surprised at just how good the area is. So many fish.....maybe due to the waters being more protected there and less traffic. Worth the time to snorkel...fi sure!!! Have a great time!!
