Kenna, Ellie and Tyler are simply awesome guides. They made the snorkeling experience super wonderful. It was a perfect day, the reefs are beautiful. Although I didn’t see as much marine life as I thought I would, I’m definitely going back.

Great experience

Dayna_C, Apr 2024

Choppy waters but great experience. Few fish. Host was great. She showed great knowledge of the water. She made me feel safe.

Good outing

Christopher_W, Apr 2024

Very nice snorkeling tour, got to see and learn about the local wildlife, saw a sun ray! Our guide made the tour fun and informative

Be careful

Connie_W, Apr 2024

Our trip was canceled at the last moment. Guide didn’t show. Man on phone was nice. Was at grandpas funeral. Curious that our e bike trip today was canceled no phone call. Again at the last moment- excuse by this man was grandpa funeral. May not be scammed but will see if money gets to us

Best snorkeling day ever!

Joshua_M, Apr 2024

John is the absolute best! We had an awesome time. He pointed out all the cool fish to see and taught us some facts about the reef along the way. He is very safety focused and made sure everyone was good the whole time. Don't use anyone else! This is the best!

Ben was a knowledgeable guide . Helpful and relaxed it was an enjoyable time. It was our first time and would do it again

Great time - over too quickly!

Mireille_L, Apr 2024

John was a great guide; he was very knowledgeable and friendly. The equipment was good, and I enjoyed exploring the reef. It was a bit frustrating because it took a loooong time to get out there, which really ate into the allotted time. But I suppose with a mixed group with varying skill levels that can’t be helped.

It was great

Cristina_H, Apr 2024

Ben and Allie were great. Well prepared. Snorkeling was great, it was our first time. We were able to find the proper sunscreen.

Water loving family adventure

Dana_R, Apr 2024

Ellie was a fabulous guide. We took our teenagers out with us. She was knowledgeable and patient. I’ve always loved snorkeling and it’s been a while since my last snorkel. We were the only party to sign up and got lots of individual connection with this outing. We saw the coral reefs and many creatures. It is a very accessible adventure to wrap into a family beach trip. It is best for people with a solid swimming skill set. Being out in the water over your head for at least an hour is the norm.

Great experience - awesome finds

John_C, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Ben was amazing. His partner Ellie was also excellent as she welcomed us and got us all set up before we headed out to the reef. Ben answered and explained everything that the guests on the tour were curious about. We got lucky and saw some really interesting finds including a nurse shark, multiple rays, large conch, dozens of species of fish including large schools that swam all around us, and the real treat of the day was two, 200 pound loggerhead turtles. It’s hard to predict what you might see on a trip like this but this definitely exceeded any expectations that we had.

Great snorkeling experience.

Brooke_W, Apr 2024

Ben was a great tour guide. He was very informative and made sure we were safe and enjoyed the adventure. Definitely recommend this experience. We saw lots of cool fish.

Not what I expected

Michael_H, Mar 2024

It was ok but you couldn’t see much but cloudy green the instructor was nice and made sure everyone was good but didn’t see much fish or anything besides a glimpse of the reef

Fun and worth the experience

Garrett_R, Mar 2024

Great experience and absolutely had a perfect time going going! The staff was great and very social and friendly. I'd recommend this activity for sure!

Don’t go anywhere else.
