1.00Unfortunately, this private boat tour was not a pleasant experience. The captain came across as very rude and repeatedly said things like, “This is my boat, I’m the captain, so you all need to follow my rules.” I completely understand that there are important safety rules on a boat, such as staying seated and not moving around too much. However, there are much better ways to communicate those rules without making guests feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. The overall attitude and delivery made the experience stressful instead of enjoyable. Customer service and respectful communication make a big difference, especially on what is supposed to be a relaxing tour.
wonderful 1/2 day private boat

5.00This was a great experience. Hector and Elbin were very friendly, and took us to a spot to snorkel with turtles. They were much better at spotting them than we were, and with their help we were able to swim with the turtles, which was so much fun. Then we snorkeled at a different spot and went to a beach to relax. We much preferred this to the party boats with many more people on one boat. We could decide how long we wanted to be in each spot and had personal attention (they helped my sister who was not comfortable with snorkeling). Highly recommend this family run business.
Fun private snorkeling tour

5.00My husband and I had a wonderful half day snorkeling excursion this morning. We met our captain, Hector, and his sister, and headed towards the island of Palomino for some wonderful snorkeling. We saw coral reefs with many fish and a large turtle which we followed for some time. After snorkeling for about an hour we got back on the boat and headed closer to the island. We floated on a large float and ate delicious snacks provided. It was especially nice because it was private and you could basically choose how you wanted to spend your time on the boat. I highly recommend this tour!
Very fun and relaxing.

5.00The crew were very kind and flexible in our desires. We went snorkeling but we were also content in gradually returning to shore along the coastline.

5.00Hector was a great guide. He brought us to a reef area where we saw rays, sea turtles, remoras, sea urchins, and a wide variety of coral and fish. Then, when we got to the beach, he served us drinks and snacks while we floated in the water. Even though there were several other tours out there, we were the only ones with a provided lunch. I can’t imagine anyone more friendly and attentive. Book your tour for a once in a lifetime experience
Doesn’t get much better than this!

5.00Absolutely amazing trip. Calm waters and beautiful snorkeling with sea turtles and colorful fish. Then we went to a beach for a chill time with refreshments and food. Hector is top notch. Everything went so smoothly!
So worth it!

5.00My family of 5 (ages,9,13,16) loved the half day tour! We were first timers for snorkeling and it was a little scary for my kids at first but they all got the hang of it and had an amazing experience. Gear was clean, worked well, and guides helped us adjust fins and masks. We saw lots of fun fish and sea turtles! We spent some time just following one turtle around. The boat ride out got a bit scary for my youngest but Hector was great about noticing our needs and helped us get to a spot on the boat that was more comfortable. My 13 year old loved every wave the boat hit and would’ve spent all day just free riding the ocean. If this will be your first time on a boat in the ocean, be prepared for adventure. If I ever come back we’ll be booking again for a full day. If you have teenagers, be brave, try this tour and leave the cell phones at home!
A lot of fun

5.00We had a great time and a wonderful experience. Our family of six went on the afternoon half day kayak adventure with Hector. His boat had a capacity of six so that worked out great. Hector, and his wife as co-captain, we're very friendly and made the trip a lot of fun.

5.00Hector was very nice and he took us to two Islands—palomino was great for snorkeling and Icacos for walking around and enjoying the beaches. we saw a barracuda, sea turtles, manatees, and tons of tropical fish. What an amazing adventure! Recommend!
