Laura provides up-to-date equipment including wetsuits and excellent instruction on proper use of equipment, snorkeling techniques and above all safety. She guided us through the water to get the most out of our adventure and also took many pictures of us and the beautiful fish, structures and sea creatures we came to see. I have posted just a few of the many pictures she made for us. This tour exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend Laura, she is obviously highly experienced and works hard to provide a great snorkeling experience.

Laura was great! She was easy-going, fun and serious about safety. She brought wet suits, flippers, masks and snorkels for us. She was very clear with her instructions, extremely watchful and once we got the hang of snorkeling - she told us where we could swim and let us go out on our own, but was always available for help and for helpful fish naming! I will absolutely be back in touch with her for a tour of a different section of the area.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hi Randi. Thank you so much for coming snorkeling and your wonderful review. I look forward to your next visit and sharing the action packed Blue Heron Lagoon in Palm Beach. You will love it even more the second time. Be well and take care.
Dieter_R, Apr 2023

Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you so much for coming to snorkel with me and taking the time to write a review. We would love to see you again to snorkel or scuba dive in Palm Beach or Boca Raton.
Sara_M, Feb 2023
Laura was amazing! Super prepared and made us feel safe and comfortable.
She had all the equipment necessary, AND snacks and water.
We had a wonderful time!
Even if it rained the day before our tour, the water was still clear and we got to see a lot of fish and coral.
100% recommended
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hi Sara, thank you for coming out to play in the water with snorkeling. You did so well out in the Lake Worth Lagoon and looked like you've snorkeled your whole life instead of being your first time. Thank you for trusting me.
Tom_C, Dec 2022
We a had a nice quick snorkel. We had never snorkeled before, but Laura told us everything we needed to know while we did it. She gave us all the equipment too. It was just the right amount. We got right in the water and saw some really cool animals. We then got out of the water after about an hour or so--just the right amount for a quick excursion during your trip. Great time!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hi Tom, thank you so much for coming snorkeling in Palm Beach with me. Look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Florida.
Preethi_S, Aug 2022
Laura is the highlight besides the sea beauties! Her energy, meticulous explanation and truly building confidence to ensure I have a memorable experience. Not to mention the care and concern she shows not just to me but to the life forms around shows she is honest and caring. I was excited yet fearful in the beginning. But towards the end of the experience I was in ZEN, says it all! Thank you Laura and glad I found you!
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Hi Preethi, thank you so much for coming and snorkeling with me in Palm Beach. You were so appreciative of the marine life and me as well. Look forward to your next visit to Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. We have many snorkeling spots to check off your list!
Sarah_L, Apr 2022
I booked this for my children and self not even 24 hours out so canceling wasn’t an option without the tour guide approving it. She reached out that night saying that the site was wrong and the time was different to meet not 8 how the site says but rather 230 in the afternoon. So needless to say our entire day was held up. We get to a random table to meet under a bridge near a playground at a body of water to meet this tour guide. The kids looked at me like are you kidding me you paid $300 for this? I said no she must be just picking us up to take us out on the water to do the snorkel. It looked sketchy, dirty and just an odd place in general to snorkel. The guide showed up and said “you are looking at where you are going to snorkel… what are you going to do leave a bad review?” She was completely unprofessional refused to give me my money back as my kids would not snorkel here.. I am now disputing the charges with my bank because she completed our tour that we never did and it’s turned into a bigger headache than it should have been. Save your money if you are going to snorkel do not do it through this site or person go to a company with more reviews. For this area I do highly recommend the bulk candy store super cool experience and also intercostal jet ski in bouton beach and bouton beach pairasal which we did twice in our stay. I have never written a bad review I am beyond disgusted with my experience with this “snorkeling experience” I paid for and didn’t ever do!
Response from Host, May 2022
For a first-time snorkeler, you do seem to know-it-all about snorkeling. You did NOT consider looking around to see all the other HAPPY snorkelers and scuba divers by your side ready to snorkel and scuba dive in the number One Venue for snorkeling and scuba diving.
If you were such an expert, why didn't you rent your own mask, fins and snorkel and go yourself? And we met at a picnic table so I didn't have to put my equipment in the sand to get dirty. You were going to the best spot.

I have been doing this for beginners for over 20 years and you are the only ignorant person never having snorkeled before to tell me how to run my trips.
You're trying very hard to be disparaging by stating that I was taking you to a dirty and sketchy place to snorkel. You have NEVER done snorkeling before so how would you know? You don't know, you obviously come from that part of the country where you have no manners or common sense of decency.
You signed up for the snorkeling, I didn't hold a gun to your head and you were told in advance, we walk in from the shore. And yes I do charge people that are more humble and decent than you and want me to be their instructor, tour guide and photographer.
Whoever reads your ignorant and inept review, please google the place she has tried to trash. There is no dive shop at a public park so we ALL have to bring our equipment with us as none is provided at the venue.
I also offered to take you for free if you didn't see over 1000 fish in the water, which you turned down.
Obviously, there is no pleasing you as I offered to take you for free and you still left a liars review. It must really burn you to read all my other 5 STAR REVIEWS BY happy people, (unlike yourself) who had a great time and wonderful pictures, like 'they' said.
Vickly_M, Apr 2022
It was a great experience with our guide Laura and perfect location. She provided reliable equipments and easy to understand instructions. My daughter and I became ‘pro’ from beginner after this trip. The location was great. We got to see so many different type of fish in very clear water.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hi Vicki, thank you so much for taking the time to snorkel. I am so delighted you had a magnificent experience in Palm Beach to see all our marine life. You did terrific for a never-ever snorkeler and just like you said you were in the game like a pro. I look forward to you return visit and taking you to some of my other a+ snorkeling sites.
JEFF_S, Apr 2022
Nothing was good about this experience . The person who runs this, out of her trunk of the car, was curt and rude. She did not make us feel comfortable. The snorkling lasted all of an hour because of her lack of guidance and our family felt very uncomfortable with her. I DO NOT recommend this tour lady.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thanks for your disparaging review. It is so sad a woman like who touts her good manners has to lie to make her point sound valid.
You take no responsibility for correcting the glaring mistake in your grandkids weights and shoe sizes, the only text was the one you corrected their shoe sizes thank God. The "alleged other text" I never got and if you could have treated me better than DREK than you would have called. Most people do, I have been doing this over 20 years now and YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO ACT LIKE THIS!.
Writing this review is only a reflection of the what's really in your heart as the Bible say, "Out of the heart the mouth speaks."
You were barely cooperative and clearly showed that you didn't want to be there as evidenced by your leaving the water after 30 minutes.
Most of my review are wonderful expressed by wonderful people. They are nice and leave nice reviews because the had a great time. Funny you are not nice, and you don't leave a nice review. The two go together.
And Every operator at the park, works out of the trunk of their car as there are no concessions there. You said that to be ugly and that is exactly what you are. Have a great rest of the year.

Lots of fish to see!!! Valuable info for snorkeling. Enjoyed it very much! Seen and followed an occtupus on the ocean bottom. Was very exciting .
Response from Host, Mar 2022
HI Paula, I was so delighted we were able to exceed your expectations in term of marine life! The Bridge does not disappoint, only if you don't have a camera with you! LOL. Hope to sea you again soon! Stay wet.
