Great tour with friendly guides - Great little snorkeling tour with friendly guides. We got some really good pictures and had fun. Snacks and drinks were good. I would recommend if you are coming in off a cruise ship. The Money bar where you meet and depart from has good food and if you have your own gear, you can easily snorkel in front of the restaurant.

A MUST DO IF YOU LOVE A BOAT RIDE ON A CATAMARAN AND SNORKELING IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA!! - We chose this excursion based on reviews from Tripadvisor and pictures. We were excited that the catamaran would take us to different reefs so we can see different sea animals. Knowing that the boat ride would be fun too! It did not disappoint! I was with my husband. We are from Myrtle Beach, SC and with his brother and sister-in-law who live in Little Rock Arkansas. It was their first time snorkeling but we had been before, and this was a perfect trip for them. The Staff is fun and friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The water was clear and beautiful!! Definitely good for beginners and fun for us too. Their snorkeling equipment is good! You may bring your own snorkeling equipment if you choose to. The catamaran is very nice and has lots of shade. We have been cruising on the MSC Seashore ship. It’s a taxi ride to the Money Bar and a taxi ride back to the port. That is not included. It cost us $5 per person. $20 total each way to get to the money bar to the meeting place. We saw lots of tropical fish, beautiful, coral, reefs, stingrays, and starfish. I thought it was really fun that was they serve fish, ceviche, and snacks on a surfboard to enjoy at the sandbar! So creative and fun. I don’t love fish, but everybody said they thought the fresh ceviche was delicious. They served it with tortilla chips on the side and fresh cantaloupe. Also available included in the price are water, soft drinks, beer, rum punch and margaritas. That is served at the last stop. Once we got back to our destination/meeting place, The Money Bar Beach Club we decided to stay and have a Mexican lunch. My husband and I enjoyed the jalapeño poppers and beef tacos. We asked for some salsa on the side. It was very tasty. I got a mai tai and my husband got a Cadillac margarita which was also delicious. I highly recommend this excursion for you and your family and friends!

Awesome Time!! - The description of the excursion was very accurate and not misleading. We had 3 total stops with the last one ending with sting rays swimming around us in very clear blue water. It was beautiful! The snacks and drinks were very good and refreshing on a hot day. We were very happy with the staff and felt the whole experience was great! Thank you for a memorable excursion. The crew also made special effort to get photos to me and I greatly appreciated it!
