Great experience! - While finding the starting point was a bit tricky, it was an easy 15 minute walk from the cruise port. Our 6yo was a bit nervous going on the boat but the captain was great. We saw tons of turtles in the time we were there, sometimes seeing two or three at a time. We were the only boat in the spot, so it was very peaceful.
Would definitely do this again, especially after seeing all the tour boats near the cruise ship that were jam packed with 20-30 people.

The best day at turtle island - Bluefin Turtle tour was amazing. From Omar telling us about the island and the history as we sped to turtle island to Keith guiding us to the turtles. We snorkeled for 1 hr and then traveled back. The weather was perfect, the turtles were amazing and the staff, Keith and Omar, were great… also, for background, we were supposed to go the day before but a storm came in and they communicated so well with us. They said the visibility wouldn’t be great but said they would still go if we wanted. They offered other days and times and were very accommodating. Check the address with them because the address Viator gave was unclear to the taxi driver. Corner of east st and Armstrong st. Dock D.. Have fun!!

Turtles and fun, A+ - We had a great time. The captains were knowledgeable and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles, had plenty of time to snorkel and the boat had plenty of cold drinks for everyone. It was awesome!

Such a cool experience - Guides were great. Omar and Keith were so knowledgeable and helpful!!! We saw a handful of turtles and the guides were great at pointing them out while we were in the water. It really was a great day ! Would do it again.

Swimming with turtles INDEED! - Keith and Omar were awesome! We were able to get out a bit earlier than expected which meant we got to the snorkeling grounds first. Saw plenty of turtles and fish. Was an awesome experience!

- Hello to Captain Keith and Captain Omar!! Thank you for an exciting boat ride to Green Cay (Turtle Island)! My daughters and I had no trouble finding your slip. Your boat was spotless and comfortable and the cold drinks were appreciated. It was so wonderful to swim with the beautiful sea turtles. We never expected there to be so many. We even saw a baby and an albino. We had plenty of time to swim with the turtles and snorkel over to the sunken ship where we viewed so many tropical fish, including quite a few we had never seen before. Thank you both for an experience we will never forget. Sincerely, Debbie, Emily and Chloe

Swimming with no turtles:( - The people were very good and nice. The ride to the turtles was beautiful. My disappointment was we didn’t swim with turtles. The areas we went to were mostly empty sea grass beds and our group only saw a few turtles from the boat. It was certainly not what we expected, paid for or saw (pictures) on the website. I know they’re a lot of variables in nature, but to sum it up every other trip that I’ve ever booked expecting to see do something with nature, they’ve always come through 100%. This one didn’t and my daughter was really disappointed. It was a bucket list experience which didn’t deliver. Makes me say - “definitely pass.”

Communication bad but given refund - So here’s the thing. They cancelled without telling us. We arrived for our 11 AM slot without any word. And so we waited. And then waited some more. No markings to know if we were in right location (even 4 sets of local marina workers and other boat owners had no idea) but we figured we were when we met two others who were supposed to be on the same trip. And thus we waited, but this time together. Then we got a message well passed our time slot which said they said they had cancelled due to weather but we were given a full refund. So there’s that. Grateful for the refund and the safety protocols but it would have been nice to know before we wasted half of our one port day waiting for, sadly, nothing.

Very poor communication - Our trip was scheduled for 11 AM. We had to pay a taxi to the site where the boat was leaving after waiting 25 minutes and no one showing up and texting the company twice. I finally got an answer that the tour was canceled. The person who called me said that they had sent a text to my phone number which was not true because I received the tickets via the same phone number and got them without a problem. They said they had notified us to 8 AM, which was untrue. There was also another couple waiting that had actually been on a cruise, and this was their excursion off their cruise ship for the day. They also had not been notified that this trip was canceled and had spent money to get to the location where the boat was supposed to leave
