I would highly recommend going on this 2 hour snorkel with Westin. He was very knowledgeable and considerate of the group we had. He brought stuff up to the surface so everyone could see it, and made sure everyone stayed together to get the best experience.

What a great way to start your morning. Westin provided a truly memorable experience. I went by myself and met with two other people, but almost immediately Westin made us all feel comfortable and like were long lost friends by the end of the tour. He soothed any trepidations we had about what we might encounter in the water, and you could tell he's been doing this for a very long time. He was able to point out and identify all the creatures that could easily be missed with the untrained eye. We saw spotted rays, eels, a massive puffer fish, a camouflaged stonefish, and a plethora of other vibrant and colorful marine life. It was truly a one of a kind experience and I was left in awe and gratitude. Westin was knowledgeable and trustworthy, there was never a dull moment. Can't wait to bring my friends next time.

The best!

First time snorkelers from South Dakota

Rachael_T, Apr 2024

I don’t know if I can say there’s just one part that made it memorable! The whole experience was new for our family and we had the perfect tour guide to learn from! He was patient with our group, took the time to make sure we were all comfortable before we started, and made sure we all could all see the cool little things that nature offers on the ocean floor! My kids loved the starfish and rainbow fish. I got to hold a spider and the sea turtle was neat to see!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

It was my pleasure taking you and your family out there in the ocean Rachael! Y'all were incredible swimmers and were ideal clients to share the water with! I hope y'all come back soon to explore the ocean with me! Take care!!!

It was a fantastic...

It was a fantastic adventure for the teenagers! The host was remarkable in every way—a great communicator with a glowing aura of kindness. This tour is a must do!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your kind review Penelope! Come back soon and lets make more memories together!!!

Amazing guide & experience!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

I appreciate you Katrina! It was a great day in the water and I hope it was as memorable for you as it was for me!!!

Fun, adventurous, unique

Erin_M, Mar 2024

Westin made our experience so enjoyable by explaining the creatures of the sea! If you had a question or were curious at what you saw you just had to ask & he was able to answer! You know you were in good hands & made you feel safe the entire time. Five stars!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I'm so glad you enjoyed our time together exploring Phil Foster park! I always try my best to be educational for those who like me share a curiosity for wildlife. You never know what you might encounter at the bridge! Thanks again Erin!!!

Aaron who was really...

Normand_M, Mar 2024

Aaron who was really pleasant and looking to find animals and get along with all the group Too sad we did not see much Will have to go in am next time

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi there normand! You might be confusing me with another tour you might've done. My name is Westin and not Aaron and this week has been nothing but fantastic encounters. We've been seeing a LARGE and very diverse variety of tropical fish, as well as Octopus, Seahorses, several species of rays, sharks, star fish and much much more. If in fact you were apart of any of my groups this week then I'm so sorry the plethora of animals we saw wasn't up to your standards and I hope you have better luck next time even though I'm not sure how you could see more than what we already did. This time of year is by far the best time of year to explore this wonderful snorkel site and the conditions could not be better with how clear the water has been and how nice the weather has stayed, but you never know and I'd always be up for another swim in the future! You truly never know what you'll see when you visit the Blue Heron bridge. If you were apart of my tour, thank you so much for joining me. It has been a fantastic week of Incredible animal encounters and I feel blessed to have been able to share some of them with you! Take care!

Westin rocks!!

Melissa_L, Mar 2024

We snorkeled with Westin today and can say it was a 10/10 experience. I traveled with my husband, a great swimmer, and my young daughter who was a little nervous and Westin went out of his way to give everyone great instructions to make sure even our youngest swimmer had a wonderful experience. He was so knowledgeable about the area, wetsuit was great to help my daughter enjoy the water temp and length of the swim, and his communication before and after the trip was superior. He planned his timing with the tides to make sure we’d get the clearest views. We saw a turtle, shark, octopus, seahorse, barracuda, and an array of amazing tropical fish. After he had towels, waters, snacks, and was patient with everyone. If you get to swim at Phil Foster off Singer Island I recommend joining Westin’s tour! Everyone, regardless of experience level, had a great time!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I'm so glad that you enjoyed your time with me taking you around my favorite place in the world. I love bringing new snorkelers in to the world of exploring the ocean as well as sharing this amazing place with experienced snorkelers. I hope we can share the water together again sometime in the near future! Thanks again Melissa!!!

A wonderful snorkeling experience

Catherine_B, Mar 2024

A wonderful snorkeling experience. So much to see and our guide was very knowledgeable going out of his way to make sure everyone in the group was able to find the different variety of fish and sea creatures especially those hidden or well-camouflaged. The small group setting made the experience low key and personal.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Catherine for your kind review! It means the world to me that I can leave a educated and positive impression on anyone who joins me on my tour of my favorite place on Earth. Lets go for a swim again soon!!!

So much fun!

Isabelle_D, Feb 2024

Westin was amazing!!! Such a fun morning snorkeling around the beach. He provides all the gear plus snacks! Westin is also a local - he recommend multiple other things to do and places to eat. Would 100% recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I so appreciate you for your kind review! I love to send off my snorkelers with other fun things to do and enjoy since we can't unfortunately snorkel all day every day! Thank you again!!!

Perfect guided snorkeling experience!

Katie_C, Feb 2024

Our snorkeling trip with Westin was an amazing experience. If you’ve never snorkeled the Blue Heron Bridge I would definitely recommend Westin as your guide. He knew exactly where to look to show us all the wildlife that we otherwise would have missed out on without him. We saw everything from Goliath grouper, octopus, nurse sharks, spotted eagle rays, cow fish, parrot fish, frog fish, Angel fish, lion fish, barracuda, lobsters, and more! He was super knowledgeable about all the animals and we learned a lot! Thanks Westin! For those wondering he does provide masks, fins, and a snorkel. He also has wetsuits available to rent for an additional $10 for those chillier mornings.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

That was truly one for the books that day! We did see so much that it should be surprising for me but I know that its quite typical for this amazing place. Blue heron bridge never ceases to show me more and more and that's why I love this place. I hope we can explore the ocean together again in the future! Thank you again!!!

Happy as a Clam!

Barbara_B, Feb 2024

Guide Westin was terrific. He kept us safe, informed and happy! Too bad he can't control the water temp!!!! But the wetsuits helped.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

So glad we got to swim together! Hope we can do it again soon!!!

Sensational Snorkeling with Guide Westin

Katie_C, Dec 2023

My snorkel tour with guide Westin was fantastic! His expertise and passion for marine life enhanced the experience. Westin’s insights into the different species we encountered added an educational element to the adventure. I felt safe and well-guided throughout the tour, making it even more enjoyable. If you have the chance to explore the underwater world with Westin, I highly recommend it for an enriching and unforgettable journey. On top of that the trip comes with the best hospitality and he is great with first timers like we were.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

I'm so glad you felt safe during the tour as it is one of the main elements to my tour. I hope the memories we made last a life time! Please come back and do it again soon!!!

DO THIS TOUR!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

KAREN_O, Dec 2023

My son and I had an AMAZING time snorkeling with Westin. Westin was a great guide!! He was professional & responsive prior to the tour. Then at the tour, he provided all the equipment needed, explained how to use the equipment & explained what we were going to do before getting into the water. During the tour, he pointed out the sea life, helped us avoid the jellyfish & was always watching to make sure all of the tour participants were doing OK & keeping up. He focused on making sure each participant had a great time. He was friendly & knowledgeable. It was a wonderful afternoon & I would love to come back & snorkel with Westin again!!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

You and your son were incredible guests and I so enjoyed sharing my favorite place in the world with yall! reviews like these are exactly what make it clear to me that I'm doing exactly what I am meant to in this life. Take care and I hope we can do it all again very soon!!!

Nathan_k, Nov 2023

The entire experience was great,our guide was very professional,and caring and took care of us very very well.. His expertise about the area is immense along with great service.. I brought my granddaughter and plan to bring all 7 other grandkids for the experience. You must get the video he offers-it is awesome.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

I would love to have y'all back any time any day! I look forward to that day and so appreciate this wonderful review! See you again soon!!!

First class service

Jason_R, Nov 2023

Westin was outstanding. Very friendly, thoughtful, communicative and informative. He gave us a heads up that the water wasn't going to be clear for our day and have us the option to do it another time at our convenience. We opted to try anyway and he was extremely patient with us newbies (10-year-old kids and adults) who have never snorkeled. He gave us lots of info about the sea life and how to use the masks and flippers efficiently. He thoughtfully provided snacks, drinks and towels. First class! Highly recommend him.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Cant wait for yall to come back in the spring hopefully so I can really show you guys around my favorite place on earth! Thank you for your kind review and I'LL SEE YOU SOON!!!

Great Experience!

Amy_L, Oct 2023

Westin was a wonderful guide! He confirmed parking and details of our experience in advance. When we arrived, he went over everything and had a plethora of equipment. In the water, he guided us to find all sorts of fish and we even saw a sea turtle. He had expert knowledge of all sea creatures and pointed out so many creatures I would have passed by without his eye (including octopus and eels). Provided towels, water and snacks. Would 100% recommend and do again. Thanks Westin!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

THANK YOU SO MUCH! we got some incredible encounters that day, especially the Caribbean reef octopus! such a treat! Hope we can do it again some day soon!

Even the jellyfish wanted to snorkel with us

Stacy_J, Sep 2023

Tons of fish. So much fun, excellent guide. I highly recommend this trip. Unfortunately for me we picked the same day as all of the moon jellyfish in Florida. Still totally worth it. Equipment was perfect, towels water and snack options were a lovely benefit.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

THANK YOU STACY! I was worried that the jellyfish were too much for y'all but I was so proud that you and barbara pushed through! It was definitely a jellyfish heavy day. Thank you for your kind words, and I hope you come back in the spring when the jellies have gone! Till then, take care!!!

Amazing Experience

Kelli_U, Aug 2023
