Amazing time snorkeling and on the boat!

5.00We love our afternoon on the Sand Dollar boat. The snorkeling experience was awesome, we saw more than 20 species of fish and turtles! We had enough time to see everything and were not rushed. Shawn and Diana were amazing hosts and very attentive to our needs. Always asking if we wanted more drinks, taking our pictures and making sure we were comfortable. We also stopped at 2 swimming spots (Long Bay and Mullet Bay) for 20 mins each and the water was blue and so magnificent. We highly recommend you this tour.
Great island adventure

5.00My family and I had a wonderful time on this snorkeling trip. We saw lots of colorful fish. We got to see the island from the water. They stopped to watch several planes land/take off. It was really nice that this was a small group, only 10 of us, and drinks and a snack were included. Sean and Gio were great. They took very good care of us. The staff at the resort/marina were also super nice. I just wish it had been closer to the cruise port but taxis were plentiful.
The crew and boat were...

1.00Although I was wrong on the date of the tour, I never received any information from the company, I only received the information of the charge, 0 feedback, the company was more concerned with making the charge than giving me a solution. All my questions were answered late, lousy experience, the truth that I feel scammed since the charge was still made. Unprofessional company with zero ability to solve, it was practically a theft. Better save the hard time and hired the services of another company when you arrive.
Great experience!

5.00Crew was fun! Saw lots of large schools of fish and a couple of sea turtles. Small group so not a crowded boat. We got to see quite a bit of the area for a half day outing and refreshments were good.

St Maarten Half Day Snorkeling Trip

5.00Boat ride and stop at Happy Beach alone was worth the $65. The snorkeling was the cherry on top. You will see various reef fish & sea turtles. Sean & Randy were fantastic. Plenty of water, soda, beer and even alcohol for mixed drinks. Suggest you bring your own snacks. They only serve bread & cheese. Highly recommend. Go in the morning if you can to avoid winds that pick up in the afternoon.
Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure with Sand Dollar!

5.00We had an incredible half-day snorkeling trip with Sand Dollar in Saint Martin! The captain and first mate were absolutely excellent — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so much fun. We stopped at three amazing spots, with the highlight being Creole Rock, where we saw tons of colorful fish, turtles, and even an octopus! Another favorite was Happy Beach, a beautiful and peaceful stop with stunning water and island views. The small group size made it feel relaxed and personal, and we never felt rushed. Between the crystal-clear water, great company, and breathtaking scenery, this was truly a perfect day on the water. Highly recommend Sand Dollar for anyone looking for an intimate, fun, and memorable snorkeling experience in Saint Martin! 🌊🐠🐢
