Irie half day

Raymond_F, Apr 2024

Loved it. The food was fabulous, snorkeling was great and we just had a nice time. We booked this trip somewhat last minute and we are glad we did!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that you had a very nice time. Greetings from the Irie Team ❤️💛💚

Awesome excursion

Scott_N, Apr 2024

We had an absolutely fabulous time on this snorkel excursion. The weather was very windy and waves were very big to begin with so our first stop was less than ideal but the next stop at sunken tugboat made up for it. It was spectacular. The crew was incredible and the food was superb. We will not hestitate to book this excursion in the future. I will say we booked this while at port on a cruise and booking outside of Royal Caribbean made be nervous. We arrived back after the boat ride and waited about 40 min for the bus to pick us back up to take us to boat. That was a little nerve wracking but all was well in the end. Have no complaints and it was the nightlight of our vacation for sure.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the snorkel excursion, despite the initial weather challenges. It's great to hear the sunken tugboat stop made up for it. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back in the future! ❤️💛💚

Amazing half day boat trip

Kristina_T, Apr 2024

What an amazing experience. We had lots of fun. Everything was great. The crew was amazing, the lunch was delicious. We went to 2 snorkeling places. I would highly recommend.

Lunch was delicious!

CupcakesNDeadlifts_3, Mar 2024

The crew showed us a great time. The tugboat was a nice spot and the lunch spot was relaxing. Lunch was a 10/10.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you very much for your review! ❤️💛💚

Great crew, great time!

Lindsey_W, Dec 2023

Crew was great as was lunch. We were well cared for. Perfect amount of time in the water for those who don’t want to invest their entire day in snorkeling. Matthew was the safety man in the water , looking out for everyone. . The crew was on top of it with beverages and just being welcoming in general (I can’t remember all their names :/ ) Water was crystal clear and the tour of the Spanish Waters is a nice bonus if you’re into looking at the mansions or if not, plenty of nature to take in as well.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your elaborated review, we really appreciate this. We are happy to hear that you had an amazing day with us. We hope to see you soon back with us. ❤️💛💚

It was great other than...

Andrea_H, Oct 2023

It was great other than my husband getting sick that morning and couldn't go. He emailed you and couldn't get any refund.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

I'm happy to hear that even though you went on your own, you had a great day with us on the snorkel trip. And I hope that your husband got better soon and that you could have enjoyed your trip on our beautiful island ❤️💛💚

Fantastic, freeing day in the water!

Kate, Oct 2023

The crew was absolutely awesome. Kind, helpful. The fun was great and got to speak to each of them. The guy with long hair was excellent and worth lots to your company. The girl from the Netherlands was so very knowledgeable and happy a real plus to the crew and the Captain had a handle on all things going on, nothing gets away from him. The cook is a special person. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best snorkeling company yet

Emily_r, Mar 2023

Great experience! Irie was super accommodating when my group missed bus pickup and arranged a taxi for us from cruise port. We had an incredible day! They were very chill and relaxed. Had a blast!! 10/10 recommend

Great day on the water

Lena_C, Oct 2022

This excursion was the highlight of our trip. Catamaran was modern and importantly not too crowded with tourists. The day was very chill and laid-back, didn’t feel like we were being rushed around in between snorkeling spots. The lunch was great and offered something for everyone, I am a picky eater/have a bunch of dietary restrictions and was able to find something to eat no issues. The crew was attentive but not overbearing. A tip: fins were not offered only snorkel masks, so if you absolutely must have fins to snorkel I would recommend bringing your own

Great experience

Margaretta_D, Mar 2020

This was a thoroughly enjoyable day for me. I’m a 78 year young solo traveler. The crew were beyond terrific and the lunch incredibly yummy. No shortage of drinks. We returned home under sail—lovely! I was hoping for more snorkeling tho. The first stop at a sunken boat was fine but the second stop was in shallow water. This where lunch was prepared and served. I would not count this as a snorkel stop. I’ll definitely book with Irie next year and will be careful to choose a trip with more snorkeling.
