I was a little nervous at first but once I was in the water and the instructors were showing us around I felt more comfortable! We saw so much that I wasn’t even expecting to see and it was amazing!! I would definitely go again :)

Captain Mike and Ally made this an amazing trip. We were treated like royalty and ally specifically was so kind. We didn’t see turtles but the experience was awesome.

watching the dolphins swim alongside the boat was cool. when my wife threw up three times, they were attentive in making sure she was okay. the skipper was a mighty sailing man, the first mate brave and sure. 6 passengers set sail that day for a (3) hr tour. seriously, it was a great time. the waves were a bit choppy, but Skipper Stan and first mate were awesome!

Great friendly crew who made the experience a great day out. The title of the experience is misleading- the cruise goes out to a reef to snorkel. The snorkel kit was good quality that supported a good experience. There is no guarantee of swimming with sea turtles or even seeing turtles. The experience did not focus on finding turtles to swim as the headline eludes to. The lunch provided was less than average, potentially would have been better if it had been kept warm.

We got Captain Stan with crew members Nicole and Jule. All 3 were amazing and super kind. It was our very first time snorkeling and the crew were super informative and accommodating. We were able to see a pod of bottle nose dolphins playing with a family of humpback whales on the cruise to the snorkel spot. We saw so many different beautiful fish and managed to see a turtle! On the cruise back in we got a delicious snack and lots of choices of drinks. We HIGHLY recommend taking this trip! 10/10
