Super Snorkel Experience

5.00Great experience, Westin is very knowledgeable in marine life and very patient with new snorkelers. The water was kinda cloudy, mother nature issue, but Westin brought up many sea creatures to show the group. Westin really likes to snorkel and it showed! Great experience and would do it again in an instant!
Great experience with a great guide !

5.00My husband and I did this tour with Westin on Sunday at Phil Foster and it was such a fun and different kind of date. We had an amazing time and got to see a turtle, octopus, and so many beautiful fish. At first we thought snorkeling on our own would be easy, but with the currents and all the knowledge Westin brings about the environment, having a professional made the experience so much better. He was attentive, interesting, and very professional, and made us feel safe the whole time. We highly recommend this experience with him!
Westin was very patient...

5.00Westin was very patient and well supplied. His recommendation for wetsuits were on point as the water was cold when we went. He was very thorough and patient in his instructions. We were in good hands!
Great guided tour!

5.00Westin should change his name to Best-in because he's the best in the biz. was a great guide and went above and beyond to make the best of the morning. Respectful of nature and patient with the group. Saw stuff I would have never seen if I just rented gear. Good dude!
So much fun!

5.00Such a fun experience. Saw 3 different kinds of Manta Rays, octopi, beautiful colored parrot fish, different species of crab, barracuda and so much more. Westin was our guide and was very informative,friendly, helpful and fun. He also had gear for ALL sizes and made everyone feel comfortable. 10/10 would recommend. It was my 12 year old son's highlight so far!!

5.00Gentleman was very kind and made sure we saw everything he did and without him we wouldn’t have been able to see many of the animals because their camouflage was so great but he definitely has an eye for what he does! 20/10 would do again and definitely recommend for anyone else considering the snorkeling experience!
Great snorkeling tour

5.00Westin was an excellent tour guide. We weren't familiar with snorkeling at all, but Westin made sure we had the right equipment and walked us through using the mask and flippers, and made sure we were comfortable in the water. He was able to show us sea turtles, stingrays, and some rare fish and crabs. Would definitely recommend taking a tour with Westin, well worth the time and money.
100% GREAT GUIDE AND TOUR 🤿🕺🏽

5.00WESTIN was an awesome tour guide. There were 5 of us in a group and some were beginners. He made sure that everyone understood EVERYTHING! There was no topic left unaddressed. Westin was very informative, vigilant, and pointed out SO MANY creatures that we all would have missed seeing without his sharp eye! He made the trip worth doing, 100%. We saw amazingly beautiful sea life! He brought towels, snacks, water, and wetsuits, and allowed us to leave our things in his car. Great tour and guide.
