St Maarten Half Day Snorkeling Trip - Boat ride and stop at Happy Beach alone was worth the $65. The snorkeling was the cherry on top. You will see various reef fish & sea turtles. Sean & Randy were fantastic. Plenty of water, soda, beer and even alcohol for mixed drinks. Suggest you bring your own snacks. They only serve bread & cheese. Highly recommend. Go in the morning if you can to avoid winds that pick up in the afternoon.

Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure with Sand Dollar! - We had an incredible half-day snorkeling trip with Sand Dollar in Saint Martin! The captain and first mate were absolutely excellent — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so much fun.
We stopped at three amazing spots, with the highlight being Creole Rock, where we saw tons of colorful fish, turtles, and even an octopus! Another favorite was Happy Beach, a beautiful and peaceful stop with stunning water and island views.
The small group size made it feel relaxed and personal, and we never felt rushed. Between the crystal-clear water, great company, and breathtaking scenery, this was truly a perfect day on the water.
Highly recommend Sand Dollar for anyone looking for an intimate, fun, and memorable snorkeling experience in Saint Martin! 🌊🐠🐢

Amazing snorkeling experience - We went on the afternoon snorkel excursion. Captain Sean knew the area well and took us to the best spots. We got to see the usual reef fish, but his eagle eye directed us to sea turtles that were lazily swimming nearby. An outstanding experience.

Go for it! - We had so much fun!! The speedboat was smooth and easy, usually I get nauseous and was totally fine the whole time. We got to snorkel for around 2 hours and went to 2 locations. The guys were great instructors and bartenders and it was all around great vibes.

Highly recommend the Sand Dollar! - We just returned from a super fun morning on the Sand Dollar with Shawn and Sarai! We had the absolute best time! They took us to a great snorkeling spot and beaches where we were relaxed offshore and the kids were able to snorkel a little more. We felt safe and relaxed the entire time. They are a great team. Very informative. Shawn even turned the boat around to grab some styrofoam trash from the water. They truly take responsibility and a great deal of pride in their island. Very impressive team and a perfect amount of time for this tour!

The BEST experience! - I cannot say enough about this trip!! I was disappointed that the company I had used before was all booked up, but I found availability in Sand Dollar and it was SO PERFECT! Our captain jumped right in at every stop and took us to see amazing sea life! His first mate was so great, as well! She kept our drinks flowing the whole time and gave info on all of the scenery we were passing. We all had a blast and can’t wait to go again!

Sean and Sari made that... - Sean and Sari made that trip so awesome and memorable. Definitely has to be one of the best values for activities. They gave our kid the time of her life and great memories from this trip. I would recommend anyone coming to the island try this half day trip out

Amazing excursion! - We’re a family of 4, with two kids aged 7 and 5. And this excursion was a highlight during our trip to St Maarten.
The crew was so attentive to both adults and children. They had gear and refreshments ready available whenever needed.
The trip included some sightseeing around the island and fabulous snorkeling experience for both adults and children.
I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure!
