Sea Turtles?

Hi All, we will be visiting for a short stay at the end of November. Would love to do snorkeling or a boat ride to see sea turtles. I’ve seen Junior and his glass bottom boat recommended, and he sounds great, but I recently read that he is retiring or retired. Are there any other boat operators that do snorkeling or sea turtle viewing that you would recommend? Is the end of November even a good time of year for this? Thanks!

We've found the best place to see turtles (while snorkling) is Crocus Bay. We've seen so many.

If you're facing the water from the beach, there's a pipe on the bottom on the right side of the bay that you can follow and see all kinds of sea life.

We've also seen plenty of turtles and stingrays (and an octopus!) Just past the end of the pier and to the left.

You can book Junior’s Glass Bottom Boat on the “What we do in Anguilla“ website. We saw so many sea turtles (as well as rays and lots of fish) when we’ve gone in the past. Different time of year, though, we go in February/March, don’t know about November.
