5.00Our trip was great! Our captain Stan and his crew were courteous professional and extremely attentive to everyone’s wishes! Food and drinks were great, the snorkel gear was clean and well maintained! We saw whales on our transit, and tons of fish while in the water. I would book this trip time and time again, highly recommend!
