5.00Such a fun time! Our crew was very helpful and friendly, making sure everyone in the group got to see everything happening around us. Our captain Crash was funny and made sure we got the best pictures of the fish also. We saw four turtles with one breaching the ocean for air right beside us, it was awesome! Not to mention Sushi the dog was a very nice addition to the experience. It was a small group of folks on-board with nice snacks and beverages afterwards to help with being so exhausted after all the swimming. This was a 10/10 experience!
Easy, fun, and well-done snorkeling experience

5.00Easy to book; reasonable pricing; easy to get to and park; easy to find the boat. Once on the boat, Kareem, Margaret, and John were great! You can tell they love their job and are committed to their guests having a great time. They had drinks and snacks readily available and the boat has a toilet! Very important: mostly everyone was very nauseous after getting back on the boat post-snorkeling. The hosts had ginger ale to help, but def recommend anti-nausea meds.
Worth the adventure

5.00We had an incredible time on this snorkeling tour! Joe was a fantastic guide, and Greg was an excellent captain who took us to the perfect spot for turtle watching. We saw at least five turtles, both swimming below us and coming up to the surface. It was an amazing experience, and we highly recommend this tour to everyone! 🐢🌊
Lots of fun!
