Great Snorkeling Adventure - It was a great experience! We had Chris, Clay and Cabrina as our guides and captains. Very entertaining crew! They went over safety precautions and gave clear directions. I’m not a strong swimmer, and I felt completely safe with the high visibility life vest and snorkel gear. Clay and Cabrina go out in the ocean with you and explain the different kinds of fish and reef life to you. We saw about 3 turtles and an octopus!

Great Vibes, would do it again in a heartbeat - Captain Chris, Natalie, and Clay were wonderful! Absolutely amazing experience aboard the catamaran and highlighted by an incredible experience snorkeling. I especially loved the music in the boat and learning how to snorkel and seeing so many fish. Clay really took care to show us there sights to see while out on the water. Clay Natalie and Chris were very attentive , checked in about drinks and any other needs we had throughout the experience and really had good vibes. We didn’t want to leave the boat at the end of the trip, it was so fun!

Book this tour! - Great outing. The boat was immaculate and the staff was amazing. They were friendly, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. While we were in the water they made sure to keep passengers safe and also provided a lot of information about what we were experiencing. Lunch was tasty - filling but not heavy. I wish the outing was longer, the three hours flew by and we would have loved to stay on the water longer.

Awesome experience start to finish! - Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Made it a great experience for us from start to end. We saw lots of turtles and fish. They knew the best spots to go to. FYI for families of small children - my youngest child (3 years old) did not end up going to snorkel - once we got him in the water, it was a bit too rough for my comfort level with him. But he stayed with grandmom on the boat and still got to see turtles! My oldest child (6) made the swim out and lasted about 20 min before wanting to head back. He got to see 2 turtles and lots of fish in the water, and more turtles back on the boat. By the end, most of the guests had gone back to the boat and Phil took my husband and I around to a few more spots before we headed back. Awesome experience!!
