Welcome to Virgin Islands National Park!  This is one of our two Online Snorkel Trips.  If you choose to go snorkeling on this trip, you'll swim from Station A to L, and see some of our more common corals, sponges and other invertebrates, meaning animals without backbones.  You could also enjoy our other Online Snorkel Trip about Fish & Turtles (see link below.)  Why not snorkel both?!  When you've completed either one or both, you can award yourself the Virgin Islands National Park SOS Snorkeling Certificate!
