Great Tour Despite Bad Weather - Green Island was really pretty! We were able to see turtles and other fish right from the jetty for those of us who didn't snorkel. There are two areas for swimming - one is patrolled by lifeguards and the other is not. If you have a choice, do the glass bottom boat and not the semi-sub; the glass bottom boat allowed us to see a lot more and wasn't as rocky.
The trip out to Green Island was rough because of bad weather. The employees were really helpful with people who were seasick. We wouldn't recommend doing this tour if the weather is bad, but Green Island is a great trip either way!

It is not that great - Semi submarine is good. Crew members are all nice and helpful. But it is a bit disappointing not go more further for snorkeling.
