We had an amazing time on this catamaran and sea turtle snorkel tour. Everything felt fun, relaxed, and very well organized. The boat was clean and comfortable, the music was great, and the whole experience felt safe and professional. A huge shoutout to Chloe, Angie, and Judi. They made the trip so enjoyable. They were friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the ocean and the wildlife. They explained everything clearly before we got in the water and checked on everyone during the snorkel. We were able to see sea turtles up close in their natural environment along with beautiful fish and coral, and we never felt rushed. You can tell they truly care about the animals and the guests. That made the experience even more special. I would recommend this tour and this crew to anyone. It was worth every penny and one of the best parts of our trip. 🐢⛵💙

The whole experience was great! It was a little cloudy but that didn’t affect any of the stunning views. It was a fully booked experience but on the boat it was spacious and did not feel crowded. The crew, Captain Ashley, Reed and Rose were funny, attentive, and charming. It is a great adventure and worth every penny!
