5.00Excellent excursion. Staff were more than helpful, but absolutely delightful. On our trip, the weather was absolutely perfect. 2 hours is a lot to snorkel, so after an hour I wen back to the boat where people were eating sandwiches, listening to music and playing in the waters. The boat has a water slide! I highly recommend this group.
