5.00Fantastic service, beautiful experience. Only thing is it is a large group that goes out. Would have preferred a small group BUT this is a great trip if you have children and the crew and views were great.

5.00Captain Carlos, Andy and Tom were absolutely awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable and great for all skill levels (we were beginners). Captain Carlos made us feel safe on the rides from the start, and especially with more choppy waters on the return trip. Food and beverage provided were great. Highly recommended.

5.00Wonderful kid friendly snorkeling trip!! We were able to hit 2 locations in the 5.5hr saw turtles and lots of fish. The crew was great and super accommodating. Would definitely book with this company again. Extra bonus was the onboard photographer! She took above water and underwater pictures!

3.00The crew was knowledgeable but not too friendly. The captain did search for whales and we saw a few. Food was okay. Not an outstanding trip but I’d say average.

3.00Our snorkeling experience was a bit mixed. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, so visibility was poor and we didn’t see much marine life. We were later taken to another spot, but it really seemed better suited for experienced swimmers, which made it harder for everyone in our group to fully enjoy. The crew was just okay overall, and the captain didn’t come across as particularly enthusiastic, which affected the vibe of the trip a bit. That said, the highlight for our family was getting to see whales, which was really special and memorable. I do think this experience could have been much better on a day with nicer weather.
Only if weather cooperates

3.00If the weather isn’t just right they don’t take you to the crater, but off shore locations. I wish we had known this. While the boat ride was fun, the snorkeling from the shore beaches is not much different.
Epic experience

5.00The trip was great turtle town was awesome. The only thing I would say is it’s kind of confusing on what time you’re supposed to show up at the boat. We thought it was 630 Showtime not departure time but the captain was super nice about it.
