ELIAS IS THE MAN

Went snorkeling with friends & it was amazing, from seeing the fish & turtles to even just the view. It was an amazing experience stopping at the island & even the food was to die for as well. I was lucky to get Elias. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide, he’s the man. If you go on this trip ask for Elias
Book it!!! Elias is the best guide

I can’t even put it towards how amazing Elias was!!! not only an incredible boat navigator, also so thoughtful and considerate!!! Took a day trip to snorkel, swam with turtles and then he took us to a local restaurant via boat for some of the best BBQ and drinks I’ve ever had!!!! Brought all the girls their phones to the sandbar, drinks were flowing, shoes laid out for us every stop we made. A TRUE GEM!!! Book the trip and request Elias!
I love Elias

Captain Daniel is the best. It was a great boat ride with lots of information from the captain on the different spots along the route. Such a great experience from snorkeling to just anchoring and swimming in the beautiful blue water. Highly recommend anybody looking for a great excursion!

Absolutely perfect half day trip. I wish it could have lasted forever! Vasiliy and Jett were a dream team, we enjoyed every second! Amazing fish, perfect beach! It felt like a good amount of time at each stop, whilst also giving us commentary and some sightseeing around Sint Maarten! Honestly, I felt very grateful to have this experience. Thanks guys!

We had the pleasure of meeting Alex and Ava on this adventure- they were the best!! They both are so kind, and both very knowledgeable about the location and any questions we had. Ava was super quick to get everyone drinks and chips and Alex was super funny as well as helpful getting on and off the boat. We had a passenger that got on the wrong boat after snorkeling, and Alex even went into the water to find her. Would definitely recommend! When we come back here, this is where we will go!
