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.

Fantastic snorkeling trip - I took 2 18-year old girls on this snorkeling trip and we had a wonderful time. We stopped a few times, and the guides were fantastic and the drinks were good!

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!

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!

Above and beyond! - Incredible time! Small group and so much more than advertised. We did two additional stops after Creole Rock, which were beautiful. We saw sea turtles, rays and all sorts of beautiful fish. Captain Shawn and First mate Sarai were amazing. When we spotted the Sea Turtles, Captain Shawn took our camera, dove down and recorded them close up. Above and beyond! Absolutely recommend.

PERFECT experience!!! - We did did the half day snorkel tour with 2 adults and 3 children, ages 17, 11 and 9. We couldn't have asked for a better experience - the crew was OUTSTANDING!! The trip was laid back, but as a mom to younger kids, I felt like the safety was a priority and never once was worried even with choppy waters. The trip to the snorkling site was relaxing and our guide shared a lot of local knowledge. When we arrived at Creole Rock, after a brief safety talk, we all hopped in and got to see an abundance of colorful fish, coral and even a huge sting ray. After an hour of snorkeling, our team took us to two additional beaches for some extra bonus time in the water, surf and sand - everyone gave this trip a 10 out of 10. A half day was perfect - just the right amount of time on the water with smaller children.
