2.00Very crowded boat. You sit where they tell you to sit. Snorkeling location not nearly as impressive as any others we have done on many other islands. I would probably skip this island and find something else to do, such as checking out the scenery with a golf cart rental instead.
Great memories!

5.00The snorkeling was good. The equipment we used was fine. The two guides were very friendly and took good care of us on a very windy day.
Excellent excursion!

5.00Great excursion. Really enjoyed the snorkelling at the wall. Boat crew were friendly and fun. Felt very safe. I ended up staying on for the conch and sting rays. Watching them dive for the conch was very cool and Gibb’s Cay was beautiful. There was time to swim and interact with the sting rays. Highly recommend!!
Snorkeling portion very...

5.00Snorkeling portion very dependent on wind and weather. We couldn’t go to best spots due to tough water. Saw some fish, coral dead, current strong . Sting Ray experience excellent!
Interesting snorkel stop and beach time.

4.00Snorkel stop was very good. Fun to see the dive for conch and show how to clean it. They made ceviche with the conch-very hot! Served rum punch to cool the burn. Stop at a beautiful beach to see some stingrays. They aren’t as tame as Cayman so don’t try to feed these!!!! The ONLY thing I struggled with was the stairs out of the water after snorkeling didn’t have “treads” on them and you were on your own taking your fins off and getting back on the boat. A little help would’ve been helpful! Crew was very safety conscious and thorough with their safety instructions. Best snorkeling tour we have taken on our 3 trips to Grand Turk. NOTE: The boat doesn’t have a bathroom.
Great for first time snorkelers

5.00This was a wonderful experience. So much fun. I was worried that it might be too much for me physically, as I swim but not for hours. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes so it was perfect. Absolutely beautiful water and scenery. The captain (Captain JJ) was a lot of fun. He and his mate took care of everyone and made sure everyone was safe and had a great time.
Plenty of action

5.00We were devastated when we were unable to port due to the weather. But they refunded the full amount of the tour instantly. Top notch service hopefully we will be back one day to experience these beautiful waters.
Do not use Viator. You do not get what you signed up for.s

2.00We were supposed to go to the wall. They said it visibility was not good. We signed up for this to go to the wall. When we got back the other boats went to the wall. Feel like we were tricked. The folks that signed up through the cruise line went to the wall. Do not use Viator.
