Awesome Snorkel Trip - Great crew and great experience - we got to see a real sea turtle surrounded by fish. Super nice catamaran to relax on if you’re not about snorkeling.

Outstanding all the way around - This was beautiful and amazing. The catamaran is huge and gorgeous. The crew is amazing, helpful and fun. Enjoy the beautiful snorkel spot chosen by the captain to find a spot without crowds. We were the only boat there. You’ll see gorgeous coral, all types of tropical fish and sea turtles. Throughout the cruise there are unlimited adult drinks and of course kid friendly drinks as well. After snorkeling you’ll come back up on board where the crew has set an open taco bar. They make sure you are well taken care of throughout the trip. Fun for everyone including families, couples and solo.

Perfect quick excursion - Perfect quick excursion! Boat departs late morning so you do t have to get up super early. You travel to turtle hot spot, snorkel, eat tacos, then head back! It’s a nice 3-hr activity, not eating up a half or full day of your vacation. And, we saw turtles and loved the tacos! Pork, chicken or jackfruit. Recommend for sure

Wonderful experience!! - This experience was absolutely unforgettable! The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing, and the crew was exceptional. I have to admit, I'm not a strong swimmer and was a bit anxious about snorkeling at first. However, the crew's professionalism and support completely alleviated my fears—they provided top-notch equipment and expert guidance. Overall, it was an incredible adventure, and I would jump at the chance to do it all over again. I highly recommend it—definitely a perfect 10/10!

Ok, good food and drinks, but crowded on boat. - Great boat but too many people. Food and drinks were awesome. All kinds of seltzers, beer, liquor andsoft drinks Not enough seating. 60 people on board...would be better with maybe 40 at most. Nice crew

- The boat was beautiful and the staff was nice. Snorkeling wasn’t great though. They also guarantee a turtle sighting which didn’t happen. The coral and fish were lacking too. You’re better off going and snorkeling at Black Rock if you want to see any thing. The tacos were good though and if you are just looking to spend an afternoon on a boat with good drinks and good food it’s a good choice.

Fun experience! - The boat was beautiful and large enough to move around comfortably. Snorkeling was fun but the water was really choppy so it was hard to stay out as long as we had hoped. A calmer spot would have enhanced our experience. The food and cookies were excellent and drinks were delicious. Staff were helpful and kind! Make sure to take your dramamine!!
