The crew was absolutely fantastic and the snorkeling was great! The one downside that would unfortunately stop me from booking with this company again was the food. We had taken this same snorkel trip a few years ago and had a yummy breakfast and then they grilled cheeseburgers and hot dogs on the back of the boat for lunch. Delicious and so much fun! They have now gone to a plant-based menu ONLY, and we didn't care at all for the food. We couldn't even identify most of it and didn't eat it. So we were left looking for somewhere to have lunch when we got off the boat.

This is a family run business that has been doing this for over 50 years. They do everything to make it a spectacular day. The crew is top notch, the food is family grown and delicious, and the respect for the environment and native culture was much appreciated. You cannot go wrong with this snorkeling tour! It will be a great day!

We went on the morning snorkeling tour and it was fabulous. Included breakfast and lunch. There was a lot of room to move around the boat and the crew were very nice. Easy to get in and out of the water on the FairWind And the bay snorkeling was superb. Well worth booking this.
By the way this is our 8 th time with this company and I highly recommend them

Our group of 7 had an amazing time on the morning snorkeling tour. Snorkeling was awesome! We also seen many dolphins on the way to the snorkeling site. The boat was not overcrowded. It was nice to have steps in the back of the boat into the water and not a ladder. The crew was awesome and very helpful. We were hesitant about the food menu when booking the tour but it turned out to be very good. Highly recommend this tour! Can’t wait to go again.

The morning snorkel tour was even better than I expected which is saying a lot. The staff are friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, and made me feel safe throughout. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the snorkelling was fantastic. It’s amazing how fast the time flew by.

Top notch guides and service. Lots of attention to detail and the food was FANTASTIC! Our kids loved the slides, seeing spinner dolphins, and the ocean life talk at the end. This was an absolutely amazing tour and staff from start to finish. Lots of great memories made!

Saw a Peacock Grouper— thanks to Captain Dante. He really knows his fish.
We took our whole family ranging from 8 to 80. All had a memorable day on (and in) the water. We went with another family of 5 (12 all together), and it was smiles all around. Be sure to go down the slide and take the high dive off the side. The breakfast and lunch are both home-grown and delicious. The. crew are all very friendly and professional. You can probably find a less expensive snorkel trip, but this is the best and best value. Just do it!
