Great half day Snorkeling

4.00We saw turtles, many different fish, and snorkeling was fun! Stopped at a beautiful beach to swim and relax after snorkeling. Capt Roy and Rick were plentiful with drinks and a great snack of bread and cheese. Great value for someone who doesn’t want to spend an entire day on a boat and wants a smaller crowd. Not a big boat, so smaller group -Would book again!
Very good experience. The...

5.00Did a 4 hour snorkeling tour to Creole Rock plus two extra stops along the way at hard to reach beaches. Unfortunately it was an overcast day so we ended up with rain showers several times, but it was a perfectly lovely day. The staff on the boat were alot of fun! Smaller group of people than going on a catamaran.
Fun half day trip for all

4.00We did a half day snorkeling trip, that took us to two snorkeling stops and a swim on Friars Bay. This trip was perfect for our group. Two had snorkeled before and 2 had not. The first snorkeling stop was along a reef and shipwreck where we saw a lot of fish. The water was very calm and it was easy to get around and see everything. The second stop we saw sea turtles. The water was rougher at this stop, but it was great to see the turtles. At both stops the guides were clear on where we should be and what areas to avoid. During the trip there were plenty of soda, water, beer and rum punch. The snack was cheese and baguette. We finished the day by swimming in Friars bay. The ride back hugged the shoreline so we could enjoy looking at the island from the boat. All in all, a great day we would do again.
Book it! You’ll see beautiful fish.

4.00It was a fun trip. We saw a lot of fish and the weather was beautiful. The boat was a little small. That would be why I would give it a 4 star out of 5. The captain and first mate were delightful and they made sure you enjoyed the trip. Great tour for the price!
Great half day activity!

5.00Do not hesitate to book. Smaller group with a great vibe. Drinks didn’t stop and the bread and Gouda hit the market after the snorkel. Shawn and crew were great with our kids - fun had by all.
Mismanaged excursion they not visited

3.00At the start we had to pick up other travelers with the boat in another hotel which made us lose half an hour round trip. And also bad weather settled after lunch and we did not see the islands Pinel and Tamarin SE WHICH WAS THE PURPOSE OF THIS EXCURSION We would have been warned! That’s why I ask for a refund of half the price paid
