3.00No life jackets on board. Stopped the boat too far from where we could snorkel. Would have liked to hear more about the area, as we were passing by.
Never got to go

5.00Tour guides on the boat were friendly. It is a somewhat long ride from pick up point to the snorkel area with some choppy waves. Plentiful Caribbean fish at the snorkeling spot.
A nice way to spend an afternoon

5.00This is an easy thing to do for fun when you don’t want to give up the entire day. The guys did a very good job of hosting the 10 of us on our afternoon snorkel trip. The equipment was perfect, and the visibility was excellent along with the ocean warmth that made for a most enjoyable snorkel experience. Since there was a little bit of extra time left, the boat stopped at a gorgeous beach of the luxurious La Samanna resort. The waves were excellent for body surfing and those of us who braved the swim from the boat to the beach were well rewarded. Plenty of punch and beer offerings enhanced a nice afternoon in the sun and a really fun boat ride. Well worth the money.
St Martin special..

5.00Despite a rainy, windy day, Sean and Maria were a ray of sun. We got to a beautiful place to snorkel and felt safe, supervised and well care for with rum punch and cheese and bread. We learned and saw some lovely fish at Creole rock. We could not have had a better trip, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!

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
