Excellent crew on the Koopa Troopa! They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Copacabana beach time was great also.

The tour itself is only about an hour, but you get to spend 2-3 other hours in reserved beach loungers on a gorgeous beach, plus access to their bar, food shack, and facilities. The spot is great, and the tour was fun.

Absolutely loved this tour. Great beach day for hubby’s birthday! Front row guaranteed chairs and brolly. Really well organised. Grabbed a taxi from the port ant 5 US Dollars per person. No hassle. Got shown to our chairs. Well looked after all day. Snorkelling was excellent. Well trained and capable crew. Very safety conscious. Saw turtles and a million fish swimming around the shipwreck. Would definitely recommend.

Be ready for it to be packed!!! 40 chairs per row, 6 rows deep, 3 separate sections! It's a LOT of people. I saw this in the reviews and ignored it but this feedback is 100% correct. I really think Harbor Lights is a nice beach club but they do themselves a disservice by trying to serve so many people. It would be a much better than experience if they would limit the number to 1/2 if not 1/4 of the masses that attend. I can't comment on the food and drink but the overall service was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's even a drink guy that comes chair to chair. We didn't see any turtles but the shipwreck and fish there were amazing!!!! Probably the best snorkeling I've seen. But again there's a ton of people with you..... They pack the boat. People are swimming into you, on top of you, and all around you. I had to break away from the group a few times to just get some personal space. Certainly not a "bad" excursion but just know in advance the reviews about the sheer number of people are true!

Disappointed with this having heard good reviews. My beach bed was so uncomfortable and I’d say needed replaced as it sagged so much in the middle! The snorkel part was not ideal and twice I almost got kicked in the face/ head by another passenger oblivious to the fact others were close by in the water. The boat staff should have given some safety advice first and I might have enjoyed the snorkel tour better. Also no real advice for anyone who was not a confident snorkeller. The bar area was also not great and too many flies…that I hadn’t seen at other islands’ beach bars.

Great excursion off the cruise ship. The beach was stunning, and we saw three turtles. Constantly calling out to attract customers for jetskiing or snorkelling was a bit annoying to say the least, but it wasn't unbearable. Had to wait for a while, like 15 mins or so, for the taxi back to the port in the van until it got filled, but it's their fault.

We had a blast! Nice vibes, good fish cakes, beautiful beach although a little bit busy. The snorkeling excursion was fun as well. We took a $5/person shared taxi from the cruise port to get here and the beach club called a cab for us to head back to the cruise port (our cab driver also agreed to drive us to Rihanna’s house before returning to the cruise port so this costed us $25 total). This certainly beat all of the cruise-sponsored outings that were available to us in terms of value, and we would 100% do this again.

Kemal and the rest of the crew were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Would definitely recommend doing it.

The front row beach chair rental is an absolute must! Carlisle Bay is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Harbour Lights food and bar area was amazing. The snorkel was fun, but a little stressful. There were a ton of other boats snorkeling in the same location and my daughter actually swam off with another group by accident which was a little stressful. Minus that, the snorkel and seeing the shipwreck was absolutely awesome. However, we didn't see any turtles. This is about an hour long snorkel.
