Jill and Casey were amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable. They took us to 2 different snorkeling spots and we got to see lots of fish and turtles and even some reef sharks. They provided snacks and drinks as well. We will definitely do this again hopefully during whale season

We had a great time! Jeff and Casey took great care of everyone on board, from the beginners to the experienced snorkelers. Great sightseeing on the ride to the first location, including a chance encounter with a pod of spinner dolphins. Spent about 15 minutes watching about 100 dolphins frolic and play. Snorkeling was great with lots to see. Trip to the 2nd site was a little adventurous. Wind picked up and we got sprayed quite a bit - not dangerous but more thrilling than the morning ride over. Two more dolphin encounters before our second stop. Great snorkeling at stop number 2 with lots of sea turtles to swim with. It’s a little tricky to find (to the right and behind Snorkel Bobs shop) but a great day once you’re there!

This is a great option for snorkeling and dolphin watching. They take you to two spots, one with fish and one with turtles. Also stopped and saw a pod of dolphins jumping out of the water and surfing waves. Casey and Jill were fun, informative, and all around great tour guides. If you want a smaller boat, smaller group, and more intimate experience, this is the tour I would book.

Our guide Casey and captain Jill were fantastic. On our two snorkeling spots we saw white tip reef sharks, any fish, and over a dozen Green Sea Turtles.
