    Overall , great trip . A little rushed because the glass bottom boat was 2.15 and we arrived at 1.50 so by the time we went to shore and settled , we were off again. Snorkelling was nice , but short of time .

  • Not worth going to

    We just did the half day with the semi submersible & wow. What a great trip we had. Saw lots of reef wildlife in the semi submersible. The staff were helpful, friendly and experienced - just what you need on a trip like this. We were also blessed with fabulous weather and nice calm waters so that was a win too!

  • Best view under the sea

    Highly recommended for those unable to snorkel or scuba dive to get closeup view of coral, fish and turtles with narration

  • Good experience over all

    Good trip although not much time to explore the island. I should have booked the full day! Sea was rough and i forgot my motion sickness meds, so felt a bit poorly. The sub was really swaying which made it worse so highly recommend something for sea sickness!! Did spoil it a bit but was my own fault! Island is beautiful
