5.00This was a fantastic day! Not only did we see a whale, we also snorkeled, subwinged, relaxed, and ate well! I highly recommend Captain Robert and his tour. How ever you want to spend your day, he’ll make it happen.
Great trip definitely worth the money

5.00Great day on the water and at Tortuga. We got a bit foiled by some patches of red tide which was definitely not Robert’s fault but did interfere (a bit) with the sub wing and snorkeling and even time on the beach. We all made the best of it. Robert was great and when we saw the masses loading and unloading from the giant ferries at the island, having the mellower, private experience was definitely worth it! Monkeys did not show for us but we ended the day with something even better than monkeys…. A sighting of a momma whale at its calf. Amazing!
This was an amazing day trip to the Tortuga Island. Our tour guide Robert waa amazing! The day on the beach was amazing

5.00If you love a boat ride on the ocean and white sandy beaches this is for you. I have been on a number of catamaran rides but having your own smaller boat that allows you to customize the tour around the islands is the best. Robert our guide waa awesome! Ready to cater to all our needs. Yummy empenadas for breakfast and delicious rum punch throughout the day.
The best day!

5.00We had the best day with Robert! I highly suggest booking this tour if you want a more tailored experience. My son has a hard time with large groups of people so I switched last minute from the catamaran and was so happy I did. We all had lots of fun! I highly recommend this experience, it was a highlight of our trip!
Great way to spend a day!

5.00Boat Disclaimer: While the service itself was excellent, the speedboat transportation was unexpectedly rough. We trusted the 5-star reviews and did no further research of our own and quickly realized how intense crossing the Pacific Ocean in a speedboat could be. One of our group members has a severe neck injury, and this was definitely not the calm, scenic ride we had envisioned. If anyone in your party has spine, neck, or back issues, please know this is not a leisurely cruise to Tortuga Island. Robert is a skilled and attentive captain, it just wasn’t the gentle journey we were expecting. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our day with Robert. He is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt taken care, especially my sister, who is celiac. Seeing the monkeys and relaxing at the beach were unforgettable highlights. This experience is amazing for the right group, just be sure you’re physically fit for the ride.

5.00We had a wonderful time with Captain Robert! Two snorkeling spots with an effort to find some sharks, sub wing, SUP, and relaxing on the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a more personalized experience than the large “cattle boat” style tours.
