5.00Boat was clean and not too crowded. We only saw four turtles but the water was murky from the rain in the morning. Water was great. Staff was great. There was a passenger who passed out shortly after we left the dock and the crew handled it very calmly and professionally.
Great time!

5.00Went snorkeling and was provided the proper equipment with good explanation with the dos and donts. Was really nice seeing the ocean life, they made sure to point out any turtles they saw so we could also see them.
Amazing! Must do

5.00I don’t know how to swim but I did this anyway. The instructor made sure I was comfortable and took all safety percussions and navigated me through the water never leaving my side. There were all types of other people on the boat from families with very young children to elderly and everyone had a great time! Not to mention we got to see whales right after.
Incredible
