Alina V5.0Aug 2024Very nice experience with intro scuba for my husband and younger son, amazing observing all the fish and corral while snorkeling for me and my older son!Amaxing
Margaret C5.0Jul 2024From start to finish was a great day, the staff aboard the ship are amazing and so friendly. I loved the snorkelling and the helicopter ride was great. I would really recommend this tripReef Rundown
Scott O5.0Jul 2024Everything went very smoothly from check in to disembarking at the end. The crew was all welcoming and willing to assist, as needed. We were fortunate to have great weather and the helicopter tour was nice with a good aerial of our second stop. There were add on options as the day progressed, but were in no way necessary to get the best experience. The one area for improvement would be the food, which is not very exciting or conducive to a trip like this.
