It never happened and we expect to get a refund. We drove over an hour to discover a boat not suitable for four people. No snorkeling equipment and they apparently were not going to honor the original description of the excursion to four different experiences. I would not waste my time or money on any tour offered in the Grand Bahamas. Our tour of swimming with the pigs yesterday was a waste of time and money.
Outstanding time and beautiful

This trip was absolutely worth every penny. The captain Shervin was a complete blast. He makes you feel welcome and can even sing! Seeing all the sharks and rays and fish around the blue holes was so exciting and beautiful to see, I highly recommend this.
Travel Agent Booking with a horrible experience.

OMG - so sad! I am a Travel Advisor. They were 1 hour late departing - driver with 1/2 hour late then they waited for more people. The bus was embarrassing and years old. My clients were told that they had to pay another $125 ($25/person) that they said was in the "fine print" for the captain. My clients were not offered food and were gone 7 hours. They did ASK for water and were provided that late in the excursion. Travel Advisors - don't use this company. Your clients will not be happy! My worst experience with Viator and I did check the rating.
Incredible, well worth the money!!

Can't say enough good about this excursion. The guide was amazing, the drift snorkeling was incredible, and the food at the small local town that no other tourists were at made the trip. The sea life and coral all the colors took our breath away. They also ensured that we got back to the ship in more than enough time.
Amazing Excursion!! Will do this one again!!!!

This is one of the best excursions we have been on so far. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the sea life that we saw was incredible. Being able to actually drift while snorkeling made this experience amazing. We also were able to eat at a local spot that the guide took us too. This was some of the best food. We did this we 3 of our friends and it was just the 5 of us. Can not say enough good things about everything.
