Worth every penny! - Our Captain was Fred. He took great care of all in his charge with patience and understanding. We saw 5 Spotted Eagle Rays along with tons of other fish, star fish and coral. The water is so clear! I would have gladly have stayed longer. The blue hole was amazing. As it was, we went back the next week, it was sooo beautiful. We were with Captain Fred again, a big plus for us. Both times we stopped off a wonderful sandy beach with the softest sand you may ever find. And of course, we saw the rescued turtles. I would go here every time.

Charming Local Tour - This is a small business run by locals, so don't expect posh rides or fancy foods. That being said, you will NOT be disappointed by this excursion. Brice was a great guide and our kids still talk about him to this day. While the blue hole was a tad anti-climactic, the snorkeling along the current was absolutely amazing - we saw all kinds of fish and wildlife. The shoal that we ended at provided more areas of explore and great photo ops. The lunch was a sandwich and chips on a back porch looking out into the water - nothing fancy, but solidly good and completely charming. My boys say that was the best turkey sandwich they've ever had! We still talk about this excursion to this day.

Memories for a lifetime - We were on a Carnival cruise that stopped at Celebration Key and are so glad we booked this excursion. If you're looking to get away from the crowds and the ho hum experience staying within the walls of Celebration Key, book this tour now! After walking through Celebration Key to the taxi station, we were picked up in a van and driven approximately 40 minutes to the other side of the island. The group size was our family of six and two others. Very small, private tour. That's part of what made this tour so great. Once we arrived, we hopped on a boat with Captain Shervin. This dude is incredible. Just an all around kind person, engaging guide, and even a talented singer! Shervin took us on about a 20 minute boat ride along the beautiful coast line to our snorkeling spot. He helped us get our snorkeling gear on (provided) and we jumped in! The start of the drift snorkeling was at a blue hole where we saw a good variety of fish and marine life - even a couple of rays. The snorkeling lasted about 45 minutes as we drifted along with the natural current. Along the way we saw many huge starfish and even more fish. It really was great snorkeling and after 45 minutes we were tired out. We hopped back on the boat and Shervin took us to a secluded spot where we saw some beautiful sea turtles. It was a nice touch being able to see them up close. We stayed on land for this part, but the turtles swam up right near us. To end the excursion, Shervin said he was taking us to a beach so we could take pictures. The stretch of beach he took us to was unlike any I had ever seen. We had plenty of time to relax and take some awesome pics. Truly a magical place. 10/10 recommend this excursion. My four kids ages 13-22 all absolutely loved it. Don't think any more - just book it!

Excellent tour, real authentic experience - We were traveling on carnival cruise and were looking for an authentic local experience away from the crowds. We were very lucky to book this tour - we had a long but very comfortable air conditioned ride to gorgeous absolutely stunning keys on the very south of the island. Not a tourist in sight! We drift snorkeled which was effortless and saw a crazy number of huge rays, starfish, fish, etc. on second snorkeling stop over blue hole - more rays and larger fish. For $15 we had a delicious freshly cooked local meal made for us which we ate right on the beach. The restaurant was spotless and the cooking lady very sweet. If I could give this tour more then 5 stars - I would. It exceeded my expectations, absolutely loved it. Easy to go if you are on cruise- they pick you up right at port.

Exceptionally Beautiful - Booking was easy, communication was timely, ride from hotel to boat was comfortable, and captain Fred was great! Drift snorkeling was a lot of fun and met our expectations! We saw a variety of sea life and the snorkeling gear that was provided was much better than what we rented at Paradise Cove. Although we enjoyed our day, I feel the cost is a lot given the additional boat fee.

Too expensive for what we experienced - We enjoyed the small group size, the nice SUV we rode in, and the drift snorkel was neat. Didn't like the 45 minute late pickup, the extra $25 p/p boat fee, the long drive to the boat, the lack of directions and information given at the snorkel and turtle area. It felt very unorganized and unofficial.

Fun and Sad - The trip to the hole was about an hour from the ship. The experience was fun. What went wrong as I dropped my phone on the boat and the driver asked him to turn around as he just left and he refused and hung up on her. We made contact with him through text and he said he needed $120 to mail it UPS back to me and then asked for another $100: we refused the $100. He did send it a week later for $11.00. Very disappointing sad to say.

Reed Before You BOOK! - Fred and the female driver were outstanding. Without them, this would easily be a 1-star review. This was our second time booking with Bryce and his outfit. Unfortunately, both experiences were negatively impacted by serious safety and professionalism issues—primarily involving gasoline. First Trip: We arrived to find a very small boat. That alone wasn’t a dealbreaker. However, gasoline was spilled in the bottom of the boat and mixed with seawater, soaking our belongings. Everything we owned smelled like gasoline afterward. Second Trip: Before booking, I specifically asked if we would be on a larger boat. I was told no, because there were only four of us. I was also strongly assured that the ocean would be calm with little wind. That was completely inaccurate. We encountered rough conditions with 3–4 ft waves and were nearly swamped twice by broadside waves. Fred handled the situation well, but the boat was simply not designed for those conditions. After 20 years in the Navy, I know waves—and this was unsafe. To make matters worse, there were no life jackets in moderate seas. It felt like profit was prioritized over safety. Transportation Issue: The SUV ride from Freeport to the East End (about an hour) was miserable. You cannot transport gasoline inside a closed vehicle with passengers. We were sitting next to a 5-gallon gas can venting fumes the entire ride. Even with windows down and A/C on, the smell was overwhelming. I had a throbbing headache both ways. Being charged $100 for that ride made it even worse. If I had known beforehand, I would have driven myself. Pattern of Problems: Twice now, gasoline has been a major issue—on the boat and in the vehicle. Add to that the hidden fees (like the unexpected $100 ride), and it creates a very frustrating experience. The snorkeling itself was excellent. That’s why we booked again. Unfortunately, everything around it has been disappointing. To Bryce: You have great staff. Fred and the driver were fantastic. Please fix the operational issues: Store fuel externally—never inside passenger spaces Be upfront about all fees Provide basic hospitality (food without surprise charges) Cancel trips when sea conditions are unsafe If the captain has to repeatedly reassure guests that “it’s going to be okay” while waves are coming over the side, things have already gone wrong. As a captain myself, I know that safety and guest confidence come first. We truly wanted to love this experience again. But after two trips with serious issues, we cannot recommend this outfit to others. Do better—your team deserves it.

Disappointing - Our guides forgot the snorkeling equipment. Although they did go back to get it, we weren't able to get back to the original snorkeling site. The site we did go to was small, and we only stayed about 20 minutes. We stayed at the beach for an equally short time, and only about 5-10 minutes at the park where we were to see the turtles (only 1 turtle was seen, and the viewing area was small and crowded, even though there were only 8 in our group.
