Great beach day with the added snorkel stops. Crazy busy beach. We booked 1st row chairs and were glad we did. Short easy taxi ride from the Cruise Docks

Harbour Lights is a short taxi ride from the cruise port - about 10 minutes. The day I went, when I arrived at noon all their beach loungers were rented (luckily I had made reservations ahead of time) Check in was very easy - however it would have been extremely helpful to have someone show me to my chair. I was told it was in the front row and to find my name - after walking up and down the row of 50 chairs and not finding it - a staff member walked for about 10 min himself and finally found it. (The solo chairs have the names on the chair rather than hanging on the umbrella and someone was sitting in my lounger). First world problems - but it an easy fix for Harbour Lights. The locations is beautiful, a lot of options for water activities here. There is a great bar and little restaurant as well. There is very limited lounge service for drinks and food - so just know that going in. As for the snorkeling, you get a pink arm band and sign up for a time slot upon arrival- they ask you to come back 10 min before your scheduled tour. I have to be honest, this place is huge and my chair was one of the last ones on the far right - directly where they were loading and unloading guests for the snorkel. I had seen them previously walk down the groups when it was time to go, so I decided to stick to my time slot and simply jump in the group as they passed me. It worked out great - as I got to relax in my chair and swim for the 30 minutes others had to stand around and then walk back down the beach to board. The snorkel team itself was awesome! Energetic, patient, knowledgeable and a lot of fun! They provide snorkel gear and vests (if you have fins bring them). We saw lots of beautiful fish and even a large sea turtle. When you are ready to leave there are taxis loaded up ready to take you back to port!

The place is a great place to just relax. The food and drinks were great. We had a great time on the snorkel tour. The staff were not super friendly when you were checking in but everyone was great out on the beach!

Excellent crew on the Koopa Troopa! They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Copacabana beach time was great also.

The tour itself is only about an hour, but you get to spend 2-3 other hours in reserved beach loungers on a gorgeous beach, plus access to their bar, food shack, and facilities. The spot is great, and the tour was fun.

Absolutely loved this tour. Great beach day for hubby’s birthday! Front row guaranteed chairs and brolly. Really well organised. Grabbed a taxi from the port ant 5 US Dollars per person. No hassle. Got shown to our chairs. Well looked after all day. Snorkelling was excellent. Well trained and capable crew. Very safety conscious. Saw turtles and a million fish swimming around the shipwreck. Would definitely recommend.

Be ready for it to be packed!!! 40 chairs per row, 6 rows deep, 3 separate sections! It's a LOT of people. I saw this in the reviews and ignored it but this feedback is 100% correct. I really think Harbor Lights is a nice beach club but they do themselves a disservice by trying to serve so many people. It would be a much better than experience if they would limit the number to 1/2 if not 1/4 of the masses that attend. I can't comment on the food and drink but the overall service was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's even a drink guy that comes chair to chair. We didn't see any turtles but the shipwreck and fish there were amazing!!!! Probably the best snorkeling I've seen. But again there's a ton of people with you..... They pack the boat. People are swimming into you, on top of you, and all around you. I had to break away from the group a few times to just get some personal space. Certainly not a "bad" excursion but just know in advance the reviews about the sheer number of people are true!

Disappointed with this having heard good reviews. My beach bed was so uncomfortable and I’d say needed replaced as it sagged so much in the middle! The snorkel part was not ideal and twice I almost got kicked in the face/ head by another passenger oblivious to the fact others were close by in the water. The boat staff should have given some safety advice first and I might have enjoyed the snorkel tour better. Also no real advice for anyone who was not a confident snorkeller. The bar area was also not great and too many flies…that I hadn’t seen at other islands’ beach bars.
