Mike and Nikki were fantastic! They helped make the excursion an amazing and memorable experience. They are very knowledgeable with Mike giving us interesting facts about the Island as well as bringing us to a less crowded area making sure we saw sea turtles! Highly recommend these two!!

Quick 5 min walk from the port to the end of the port pier. Friendly hosts, clean boat. Our hosts were laid back and we had about 25 people on the boat. So bottom too crowded. About a 1 hr sail to our snorkel point where there were 2 or 3 other boats snorkeling. The was was a little cloudy. We saw a few small fish and several turtles. Snorkled for about 30 minutes and then sailed back. It took about 30 min to get back. It was a little pricey being our most expensive excursion of our trip. We had granola bars and pretzels as a snack. Water and rum punch as drinks. No fault of the guides but I'd chose a different island to snorkel at.
Awesome sail and snorkel experience!

Awesome experience! Captain Mike and Nikki were so great! They both took great care of us and were so friendly and funny. The boat was beautiful and the snorkeling was outstanding! We saw a bunch of turtles and Nikki was in the water with us making sure everyone was safe and had what they needed. This tour was the best part of our trip. We’d definitely book again!

The crew were phenomenal! We had an amazing and informative trip over to a small nearby cay and once there our captain and his mate did a really good job of ensuring everyone felt comfortable getting into the water and going!

Captain Mike and crew made it a very fun trip. Seas were a bit rough that day so I appreciated the captain finding an alternative route that made for a safe and enjoyable trip. We went snorkeling with turtles, drank some rum punch, had an all around fantastic time! My only regret is not finding time to take a longer outing!
Awesome half day adventure with turtles!

Awesome adventure! Captain Mike was super funny and spent time with the kids teaching them about sailing a boat. Nikki took great care of us and showed us where to see turtles. We saw a few which was an amazing experience and a huge barracuda! Very fun experience. And great sailing! Really nice sailboat. They had snorkel equipment that was in great condition! I would highly recommend!

I don't think you could hope for more. Captain crew were experienced and fun. A small group on the boat. The sail in and out of the location was fantastic. I would love to go again tomorrow.
