Rough waves great time

5.00Even though the weather was not great we had a fantastic time. The waves were kind of rough for snorkeling but the crew made sure we were safe and we felt comfortable. The stingray experience was the highlight of the excursion. Our grandsons loved it.
Once in a lifetime chance

5.00This is an experience you don't want to miss. A chance to swim and hold a stingray. Single over a reef with stingrays swimming below you. And find and hold beautiful starfish under the water. This is my second time doing this excursion and it doesn't get old.
Don't book through the cruise line!!

3.00The overall experience was okay. However, be prepared to pay $80.00 dollars for a few not so great pictures. The water was extremely choppy and they did their best to get us to the stingrays. The snorkeling experiences was not the best place to snorkel and not a lot going on,

5.00Best tour. Crew on the boat was very helpful and friendly. It was a little windy, so the water was rough.
Our excursion to swim with stingrays, snorkel a reef and touch starfish was a great day with Captain Joel and his crew.

5.00Our excursion to swim with stingrays, snorkel a reef and touch starfish was a great day with Captain Joel and his crew. They were very professional, courteous and helpful with all aspects of our trip to the three sites. It was clear that they are very conscious of the environment and delicate handling of the animals which made the trip even better. Thank you!
