5.00Captain Sugar Bear made us feel right at home. It’s clear this crew knows what they’re doing. Captain and First Mate Alex taught us about the sea life at night in a fun and interesting way. Our first stop was at Starfish point where we got to hold beautiful red starfish and touch a jellyfish! Sugar Bear and Alex were careful to make sure we understood how these animals interact with their environment and how to safely handle them. Next we hopped over to bioluminescence bay, which was amazing! You could see the glow behind the boat as it trolled into the bay. Once stopped we all hopped in and swam. Marcella was amazing, making sure everyone got photos. 10/10 tour!

1.00These thieves agreed to pick us up at our Condo which Viator CONFIRMED! They did not pick us up. Instead they stole over $300, and refused to refund. That has cost Viator our future business, and likely legal action. DO NOT USE THIS PROVIDER. Viator should cancel relationships with them.
So much fun! Alex and...

5.00Such a cool experience looked like glitter under the water. They provide suits so you don't get stung. They give you noodles to help you float because they don't want your feet touching the ground because there's little jellyfish down there. The water is shallow about 4 or 5 ft
