One of the best snorkeling excursions we have been on. The staff was excellent , safety was 10/10 ..even had a lifeguard in the water during snorkeling ..they were watching continuously for everyone to have a great safe experience in the water. Families with young children , disabled persons were all treated with care and respect for all levels of abilities to enjoy the same experiences with modifications if required. I would highly recommend this excursion. Thank you Body Glove !

Great boat. Crew was super attentive. They fed us well and always made sure we had drinks. Safety briefings were fun. The snorkeling was average. The spot we went to was too deep and they didn’t allow us to get very near the shore where we could get a closer look at the coral and sea life. If you’re going more for the snorkeling, this may. Or be the best tour. Lots of stuff to do besides snorkeling. They had all the toys plus a high dive platform and water slide. Great day out on the water. Don’t forget to tip your crew. I was bummed to see how many people got off the boat without leaving a tip. Hopefully they did it electronically. The crew was awesome.

The food and staff were excellent, location good, saw a bunch of fish but the boat is really kid friendly , and beginner friendly so that's a plus for a lot of families A slide and jumping spot were cool, Floaties, drinks in the water served by the staff, also cool, and a big floating frog pad even baby Floaties so they can see to the bottom, crystal clear waters But best part was the boat and staff, just perfect

We were on the boat for almost 40 mins single way to get to the snorkeling spot, unfortunately there wasn’t many fishes as we were expected, only a few, I would say less than 15 black color fish, it was so different as we saw from the booking website pictures and very disappointed. Not worth the money of over $500 for a family of four at all! The next day we went to two steps beach ourselves, and saw so many bright yellow fish, rainbow fish and some other kinds, without paying anything. The two stars I was giving to the crew, they were very nice.

We had such a great time! Even the family members who weren’t as excited about going ended up loving it. The boat was great, the food was great, and the staff were phenomenal. They were all so friendly and super helpful, plus we really enjoyed hearing their stories and the info they had to share. Captain Bob was great and even went back on our way home to see some bottle nosed dolphins some people didn’t see. We saw Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Bottle-Nosed Dolphins and a couple Manta Rays. The snorkeling was awesome too. We really enjoyed that you could also choose to sit on the main deck in the shade and a little quieter, or go up top for some sun and extra beautiful sights. Great time had by all. Definitely recommend making this an excursion you go on! It was the ONLY excursion we did all week and we were not disappointed!

This was a very fun excursion! Very family friendly - and fun for adults too. Snorkeling was great. Plenty of shade if you need it but plenty of sunshine too! Would recommend.

The crew was friendly and professional. The catamaran including the restrooms were very clean. Even though the trip was full, there was plenty of room onboard and it didn’t feel crowded at all. We were served beverages throughout and both breakfast and lunch were provided. We had two dolphins that swam alongside our craft for 10-15 minutes which was delightful and also had a close encounter with a manta ray! We had ample time snorkeling and there was a water slide, high jump, rafts and noodles provided for water play. i highly recommend this activity.
