Flippers & Fins Snorkel Rentals at Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is the place to go to pick up snorkeling gear to go explore the natural beauty of the inviting turquoise waters.

Flippers & Fins Snorkel Rental is numbered 6 on the map located on the Atlantic Ocean side of the property near the beach between Goombay Cultural Center and the Bow & Ribbon Bar.

Most guests will typically book Snorkel Rental (LPT01) Port Adventure before arriving to the port. Once ashore, you will head over to Flippers and Fins to pick up your snorkel gear and receive some instructions. Just like at Castaway Cay, you may bring your own snorkeling equipment to use, but you will be required to wear a complimentary inflatable safety vest which you can pick up at this location. Vests are also available hanging from the lifeguard stands.

The snorkel rental is currently priced at $38 per person and includes a mask, snorkel, flippers and the required safety vest. The rental is for all day, simply return your equipment to Flippers and Fins before heading back to your cruise ship.

Inside Flippers & Fins are shelving units with neatly organized fins and snorkeling equipment ready to go.

Outside the building are two big signs with information on proper user of the snorkeling gear and safety information.

Here is a brief tour of the Flippers & Fins facility as well as another look at the signage.

Time was not on my side to allow for snorkeling during my day at Lookout Cay, so I will not have any actual snorkeling footage until I return for my next visit. For now, I will leave you with the description of the snorkeling from Disney Cruise LIne’s Port Adventure:

Prepare to be captivated as you snorkel amid exotic sea life between leisurely beach breaks soaking up sun and fun.

Dive into an unforgettable adventure as you explore the vibrant underwater world of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, surrounded by schools of tropical fish and other mesmerizing marine life. Prepare to be captivated by the natural beauty and wonder that await you beneath the surface. 

I love to snorkel, and so does the rest of the family. The underwater world is so dynamic, and repeat trips to the same spots always offer something new. Since I was a little kid, I’ve spent countless hours during past vacations snorkeling and I cannot wait to return to Lighthouse Point to head out into the water and see the marine life. While I am not sure how deep the swimming/snorkeling area gets at high tide, I was bummed to hear the lifeguards yelling at guests telling they them they were not permitted to dive underwater while snorkeling. The rule is clearly listed on the safety sign, but it caught me off guard on the beach before I made it over to Flippers & Fins and read the safety information.
