This excursion was great, the price, the hospitality. Everything about it was amazing. 7 hours of exploring the beautiful Caribbean waters. The many stops to let us swim. Great experience will definitely do it again when I return to the beautiful isla of San Andres.

Chill day by crystal blue water

Audrey_D, Feb 2024

Amazing chill day by crystal blue water ! Small group of people. The guides are super kind and friendly. We don't speak spanish and they made an effort to explain everything to us in English.

100% recommended. Excellent value for service provided.

Very good price for service. The boat is new and comfortable with plenty of shade. Provided big cooler for everyone to store their own drinks, in addition to the abundant complimentary drinks they provided (water and national Beer). The staff Jessie and Joseph were amazingly friendly with superb customer service. Every time we stop to snorkel, they would feed the fish so that we would have an even more amazing experience. Is an all day activity, I strongly recommend wearing long sleeve sun shirt. I used tons of sunscreen, tried to stay in shade as much as possible and still managed to be really sunburned and I’m not that sensitive to sun. Water shoes are mandatory if you want to be able to go see fish/shark in the first stop that has tons of sea urchins. All stops were really nice with plenty of “privacy” unlike the boats that would drop people by the main drop of location with tons of people already there. The pictures attached were the ones provided for free with their drone. They took several of each group set.

Amazing

Amazing time

My friend and I had a wonderful experience. Even though we did not speak Spanish the crew was able to work with us and made sure we were all on the same page and understood everything for the most part. The crew was so attentive to us and really made sure we had the best experience. We got in two storms and had a.great time dancing in the rain.

Pristine waters

Oscar_E, Aug 2023

Great experience! Beautiful beaches, water is pristine. Bring your own snorkel gear and life vests though if you want to see some fish.

Great experience

Jessica_C, Jun 2023

Stops at so many little islands. Everyone got a snorkel mask and we were able to see soo many fish. It was beautiful. Boat ride was smooth. Our boat did. Run out of gas but another boat came and gave us gas lol. So that took away about 45 min and we didn’t get to go to 1 island. You stop at a few open water locations where you can get off and the water is a knee or waist level. It’s amazing !

Bom, mas com alguns pontos de atenção.

Gabriel_C, Mar 2024

Pontos positivos: o passeio é lindo demais, os condutores muito simpáticos e prestativos, serviço muito bom. Pontos negativos: o agência não entra em contato para confirmar antecipadamente e a localização do encontro pelo aplicativo está errada (quando cheguei no lugar de encontro, outra agência local disse que não era ali, precisava andar +10 minutos a frente), muito confuso. Quase me atrasei por isso. A foto com o drone não foi tirada (não tinha drone e como voar), não fez a parada da ilha de Jhohnny Cay. O almoço combinado no trajeto era para pagamento em cartão, mas na hora de pagar só aceitava dólar em espécie e muito desvalorizado (o combinado seria por volta de R$ 120,00, na conversão feita, mas na hora custou R$ R$ 232,00 na conversão do dólar para 2 pessoas) me senti assaltado. Não vale a pena o almoço e combine antes o local de encontro certo e exija a foto com o drone antes de embarcar.

Buena experiencia en el mar caribe

Hilda_C, Jan 2024

Varias paradas en lugares muy bellos e interesantes como el acuario en el mar. Lamentablemente nunca vimos las fotos tomadas por drones que supuestamente incluía el programa pagado

Tour cancelado por falta de pessoas.

AnaCarolina_M, Oct 2023

O tour foi cancelado por não ter pessoas o suficiente. A empresa ofereceu antecipar, mas não podia, pois já tinha outro passeio contratado. Apesar da frustração, negociei aluguel de scooter. Empresa honesta e justa. Pena que não consegui realizar esse passeio.
