Theodore, Jeffrey, and Grouper took great care of our group! They were fun and helpful. Our group ranged from 8yrs old - 73yrs old and everyone had a great time. The snorkeling was beautiful and the island stop was pretty too. It was a great experience and I’m glad we booked it!

We saw the most amazing sea life. The captain and crew were great. It was a lot of family fun. We would do it again.
Good experience but not great

The crew was very friendly, and took us to 2 different good snorkeling spots on the reef. We saw manta rays and schools of beautiful fish! A couple of things though were not ideal. They arrived 45 minutes late to the pickup spot, with no communication about what was happening, but hey, that is the Caribbean life, I get it. However they did not extend the excursion time, so we only got 3 hours instead of 4 hours. Then the boat ride back to Hopkins was a 30 minute high-speed, bone-jarring ride across the channel, which was not enjoyable. So next time I think I would book somewhere else.

Our guides Medz and Theo were amazing. Since we were traveling with our toddler they tailored the experience so we could all enjoy our time out on the water. My toddler got some beach time while mom and dad took turns snorkeling with Theo. The guides surprised us with cold water and banana bread as we were heading back. After a morning of sun and water it really hit the spot.
Out of this world great!
