Beautiful Buccoo Reef Tour

5.00Edith was our guide for the tour. She took us to Pigeon Point where we had about an hour to explore. She provided us with advice where to shop and what to try. Prior to boarding the boat she also briefed us on what the tour would include. During the cruise she was a wealth of information about the coral and fish on the reef and at every stop information was provided to enhance our experience. The glass bottom boat allowed us to view the reef with ease and stops included snorkelling to see the fish and corals, nylon pool, and no man’s land where you could purchase local food. She was also aware we were doing another tour with a different company the next day and was more than willing to provide information which assisted us to ensure our safety and comfort on a that tour. Yes the information provided allowed us to update that tour company which greatly improved our experience with them. Thank you Edith for a fabulous tour and would highly recommend her as your tour guide.

5.00Amazing experience on the sugar lips tour. Wish they could clean the glass better at the bottom of the goat so you can see the fish easier, but the entire experience from snorkeling (on top of the water and just looking down to see the reef, life jackets provided), to swimming and jet skiing for extra pay in the Nylon pool, to getting food at No Man’s Land was amazing. Wish the trip could have been longer. Will come again!
Highly recommended
