It’s super fun! They have all kids of things to help if you get sea sick. They have sunscreen. They give you snacks and sodas after. They haven’t dogs on the boat. So fun!

Very professional crew, clean boat, fun time. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see many turtles but definitely wasn’t the crews fault. Really just depends on the day and the water conditions. They offer snacks and soda and juice onboards as well as snorkel gear. Thorough safety briefing. There are lots of other tour groups that go to the same spot, so get ready for crowds.

The whole tour was so nice. Crew members were wonderful. We were late due to traffic but thankfully we were able to hop on because they waited for us. All people were friendly and we were able to see turtles. Definitely recommend. Only thing is wish it was longer because it was so awesome.
