5.00What a fantastic trip. The crew of the Caribbean Queen, Keith, Joey and Celine were a great team and looked after us very well. The snorkelling was a great experience and seeing a turtle was awesome. The pigs were good and well worth meeting!! Thoroughly recommend the trip.

5.00This was an excellent excursion. My travel agenct recommended it. The crew Joe, Serena and Keet were excellent. We stopped for snorkeling, then turtle sighting, feeding the pigs on Rose Island then had lunch at Footprints. I would recommend this company and this crew. The boat only held about 23 people but the smaller boat gave us lots of personalized attention. They brought unlimited drinks and snacks, helped everyone on and off the boat. The ride was fast and a bit choppy but completely comfortable. I didn’t want the excursion to end. They played great music. There was a bathroom on the boat. The entire afternoon was organized. There was no rushing; plenty of time to do everything; times perfectly. I felt safe out in the sea with this crew. They k ew what they were doing. It is a must-do if you ask me.
