This shoreline cruise takes you to the pristine Sea Gardens, and the Shipwreck of the 'Vixen' while enjoying informative commentary about the history and culture that help to make this island so unique.
Departing the reef, we pause at the nearby sea grass beds, where you may spot a few of the many transient turtles, before heading to one of many small bays that line the Western islands.
The boat will anchor in shallow water and you may take some of the boat's snorkel gear and explore the shoreline, wade ashore and relax in the sand, or play in the shallow protected waters. Island tunes on the return boat cruise complete the perfect family fun day.

5.00This was a great tour. Very much enjoyed seeing the shipwreck and coral through the glass on the boat. Stopped at a beautiful and perfect spot for snorkeling. Zoie and her crew could not have been any nicer. They made sure we were all having a good time and took great care of us.

5.00Captain Zoey makes me nervous. She "invites" us to write a review. I write a review. She "invites" us to name names. I try to name names. I try to get 'em right, cuz I know if I don't there's gonna be consequences. To tell you the truth, her rum swizzles are kinda weak. And if she were here right now I would tell her right to her face... She's standing right behind me now isn't she!? Thank you for an excellent and entertaining tour. Thanks to Captain Zoey, to JP, to Barbara, to Johnny, and to the Bottom Peeper. Did I get that right? Please! NO! NO! NO! NOT THE HOSE AGAIN!!!

5.00Glass bottom boat is the way to see ship wrecks, fish and coral! The water is very clear. If it is too chilly to snorkel, you get a great view! And snorkel too in a protected bay
Amazing trip

3.00Meeting place for the tour was easy and convenient to our cruise ship. Boat was in good shape and only one other family with us so the tour group was small. Glass-bottom tour of the shipwreck was interesting, and first mate’s description of the shipwreck and wildlife was solid. Our captain was okay. He gave some info on the way out but seemed disinterested. His teasing of some of the other passengers was a little too much at times (e.g. the teen daughter from the other family was struggling with snorkel equipment and the captain’s comment was “Well, at least she’s pretty.”). Snorkeling was nothing special and the description a bit misleading, as you are not exploring near the shipwreck and are not anchoring in 3 feet of water. The snorkeling area was private which was good, but it’s private because there is nothing to see - nothing more than some rocks and sand, so manage expectations on that (snorkeling in Bermuda is nothing like snorkeling in the Caribbean). Probably the most “fun” thing was they did let people jump off the top of the boat when anchored, the kids really enjoyed that but that was not advertised so YMMV. No mention of drinks or rum swizzle to purchase on the way back. Overall, the tour was fine. Manage expectations on the snorkeling, and just hope you get one of the other better captains mentioned by other reviewers.

5.00The captain was informative and fun, the snorkeling was easy even for a novice, and the view from the glass bottom boat was gorgeous.

5.00Sinclair and Kat were great. The weather was a concern, since there were showers and storms in the area, but they assured us we were in good hands, and we felt safe the whole time. We got to see a shipwreck and some fun fish in the glass bottom boat, and then they took us to a fantastic, quiet spot for some snorkeling. Absolutely great.
Fun day with good company

5.00Friendly guide’s Jesse and Captain Sinclair showed us around the islands and gave a great commentary. Snorkelling was brilliant, clear waters and even saw a turtle on the way back.
