5.00I highly recommend Westin and his tour if you are in the area. He is very personable, patient, and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He went above and beyond for everyone. He took his time to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their time. We were able to see a lot of different fish, and even a nurse shark! Any time my family is back in the area, we will be touring with him. Thank you again for the amazing experience.
I enjoyed it

5.00Amazing snorkel tour with Westin! He was organized, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and comfortable right away. He even provided pool noodles at the start, which helped a lot — and before long we were confident enough to ditch the noodles. The 2.5 hours flew by as we saw sea horses, stingrays, two adorable sea turtles, and beautiful tropical fish. This was a highlight of our vacation and a priceless memory with my children. Highly recommend!

5.00We had the BEST time snorkeling with Westin! He was so organized and made us feel safe and comfortable right away. He explained everything clearly and even had pool noodles to help us at the beginning — before long, we felt confident enough to ditch them and fully enjoy the experience. The two and a half hours flew by, and we saw sea horses, stingrays, two adorable sea turtles, and the most amazing tropical fish. This was truly a highlight of our vacation and such a special memory to share with my children. We’ll never forget it — thank you, Westin!
Super Awesome Time

5.00What a wonderful guide! He gave clear and straight to the point instructions. He made sure everyone was comfortable before we went beyond the shallow water. He showed us marine life you would have never spotted otherwise. We sure did see a lot of sea life, too. Urchins, fish, jellyfish (harmless), sea stars and even sea turtles. He was genuinely kind and cared about everyone enjoying themselves. 12/10 would do again.
The best snorkeling tour of my life

5.00I've been snorkeling all over the world and Westin knows his stuff! From instructions on how to do it right to knowing exactly where the sea turtles hang at 9:17:34 am lol. He was spotting camouflaged sea horses and fishes like he's been in these waters 5000 times - cause he has. Thank you, Westin! Never knew you could see so much while snorkeling.
This was such an amazing...

5.00This was our second time snorkeling with Westin and it definitely won’t be our last! Westin is patient, knowledgeable, and an expert guide. We felt supported, safe, engaged and most importantly we saw some really amazing things, including a manatee, seahorse, sea turtles, eagle rays and a decorator crab! See you next year, Westin!
