What To Expect
After a welcome coffee, we head to our first site, between Pointe Burgos and Pointe Lézarde. A true festival of turquoise blues and tropical fish: sergeants major, trumpet fish, lobsters, barracudas... Here, everyone lives their experience at their own pace: snorkeling or bottle diving, anything is possible, and the decision can even be made on the spot. Baptisms and explorations are supervised by our state-certified instructors. For even more sensations, try our water playground! Hammocks under the boat, swing forward, Jane and Tarzan jump... sensations and crazy laughter guaranteed! At the end of the morning, we reach the village of Anses d’Arlet, nicknamed “turtle paradise”. After a friendly aperitif, make way for a delicious barbecue on board. The afternoon is dedicated to fun and discovery: swimming with turtles, paddles. Want even more adventure? Experience the thrill of the underwater scooter and let yourself be carried at full speed underwater! We end this memorable day by quietly returning to Grande Anse, where we share a nightcap before escorting you ashore

Beautiful day snorkeling

4.00Very nice day with ATAO Diving. We were 12 passengers on board, which remains pleasant and not overloaded. First exceptional snorkeling stop: a lot of fish, you really feel like you are in an aquarium. Diving very personalized according to your tastes and in pairs for those who wish. The lunch prepared by Zoe was excellent, everything was very good. Mention also for rum tasting, nice and friendly. The afternoon takes place in front of the village of Anses-d’Arlet, with the possibility to observe turtles. We've seen it come to the surface. However, to hope to see some underwater, you have to swim far enough from the catamaran. The crew had been transparent that this was not guaranteed. More mixed point: the afternoon can seem a bit long, there are paddles, snorkeling and sunbathing, but few other activities. Another thing to know: the atmosphere depends a lot on the other passengers. For our part, it was not ideal. The crew is also very strict about the rules on board (beyond safety), and reminders can be a bit abrupt if you forget something. Finally, the price seemed a little high compared to the overall experience. In summary: a very nice morning, a good meal, a serious organization, but an experience that can vary according to the group and that remains quite expensive.

2.00The catamaran is small and doesn’t accommodate a larger group than maybe 8 people. We drove for 15 minutes and anchored for the entire day in a bay with very few fish and stinging jellyfish. I would assume we would travel to different bays to see different scenery and explore different waters. It got very tiresome in the hot sun after 2 or 3 hours. The food was ok, but not enough places to sit and eat out of the sun. The snorkeling equipment was in good condition. I have been on many snorkeling adventures and I wouldn’t do this one again.
Friendly and unforgettable

5.00Great day out, fantastic diving and snorkelling. Lunch was tasty and worth the 25 euros. Also, SO MUCH RUM! Worth it even if you're spending some time on this part of the island. Highlight of our trip to Martinique.
Best of the best‼️

5.00A wonderful day, the beautiful memory of our stay. Diving baptism for the whole family, even the most anxious who enjoyed well. Meals at the top, perseverance of Zoe at the top to find a turtle and to film it for us, boat well equipped for a day where young and old find their way!!! I recommend++
Day trip by catamaran and diving not to be missed!

5.00Superb day in small committee (8) very nice and conducive to exchange. Chloe and Olivier are in the care. Welcoming coffee and briefing to get started. Bottle diving in the morning at Anse Dufour with Chloé and another diver at 11m perfect to get back there! Then top meal with a wide choice of rum and to finish top Creole coffee with a soft chocolate and a homemade chantilly flavored with rum (a delight). Afternoon snorkling at Anse Noir: fish, turtles, corals: we never tire of it. Possibility to paddle, nap hammock under the boat or jump from Tarzan! In short, a big thank you to the whole Atoa team for a great day. For those who do not like the crowd not to be missed! I will come back for other outings or to pass my level 1 diving next time ..
Perfect.

5.00Very nice catamaran day! The team is attentive, and see a real desire to do everything to enhance our stay. The team was also concerned about food security (allergies/intolerance). The meal served was excellent. We saw plenty of fish and reefs, as well as a turtle. These snorkel with us to make us see them more! The team takes pictures of very good quality and shares them the same day. Very nice day, I advise without hesitation!
Such a great experience –...

5.00Such a great experience – small group, high-quality gear, and beautiful spots. It wasn’t just snorkeling; there were swings, hammocks, and sun lounges to enjoy too. The food was amazing (entrée, BBQ, dessert, coffee, afternoon treats and drinks), and everything felt safe and well-organised. Highly recommend!
Great day
