Excellent experience. Jr. Was awsome, always there when you needed him and not bothersome. Great water and view.

While I’m sure we would have liked it we didn’t get to experience it. There needs to be more clarity of how to get to your location from the port and the people working there should know. If I had booked through Carnival I know we would have enjoyed it. But Carnival was sold out. Once we got to the port we asked several people working there how so we go about getting to our destination. Needless to say we were directed the wrong way. We had to pay an extra $28 for the ferry that didn’t take us to our destination. The workers there at the port told us we had to take the ferry. We finally get to a destination and was told we were in the wrong area. We ended up at Paradise and cabbage beaches. We flagged a taxi driver down and he took us to the ferry we were supposed to get on but the employee there said it already left and there were no more going out. We just asked the taxi driver to take us back to the port. Another $15 plus we lost the $360 for the excursion. Total lost $403 for something we didn’t get to experience. So that really stinks for us. I have used this company before with no issues but I may continue to just use carnival from here on out. Bottom line: get clearer information of how you get to your destination!

Boat ride was quick with a nice view of celebrity houses if you’re into that. The disappointment comes from false advertising in my opinion. The pictures and description of private cabanas didn’t live up to the hype. The service was slow at best and took an hour just to get lunch. Also drinks were slow to get. And they ran out of bottled water very early on. Don’t understand how that happens. I will say that I don’t blame the server I had. I think they need a better system of the private cabana servers only serving those guest instead of doing multiple things. For what I paid the value and service was lacking dramatically. I would cone to the island again but don’t know about doing the private cabanas. The light house was nice to see since I’ve never been inside of one.

It was not a bad experience, just not worth the cost. My expectations of a cabana is it has a roof (which it did) and 3 sides to block wind etc. Addtionally we were put on a second story. All this coupled with a 75 degree day, a 15 mph wind, 2nd floor, made for a very uncomfortable outing. Our server was very good and attentive. THe drinks were ok, but the food was cold, making eating the fish unappetizing. We ended up going down to the beach to keep warm. Paddle boards etc were there but not availalble all in use the entire time. Disappointing to say the leaset, but hope this helps the next person

This is our second time doing this excursion. We love the private cabanas especially the big one on the end - the view cannot be beat. We are a family of four and had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The cabanas come with snacks and drinks in them plus they bring your drinks and lunch directly to you without having to wait in lines (these matters when you want as much time relaxing in the sun as possible). It was very helpful with the kids and not having to rush them over or pull them from whatever activity they were doing. The lunch was chicken and fish with veggies and rice. The food was good - the fish was excellent! Highly recommend getting the combo to try both. Our servers each time were impeccable. Always right there for drinks, lunch, towels, questions, and assistance. We will definitely do this excursion again as the island is so serene and it is not overcrowded even with the cruise ship visitors on it. A few things that I might add for information purposes. Don't miss out on going to the lighthouse. Seems simple but it is cute and view is so pretty from there. The island is not handicap friendly. The terrain just doesn't lend itself to be so without a lot of purposely reconstruction. It is a weather worn excursion spot, so don't expect it to be spotless like at a hotel cabana. It is clean but sandy. The recommendations I would make is to check the weather when you go as that can affect the ability to snorkel. There are two sides to the island, so depending on which tour you pick you may or may not have access to certain amenities (i.e. iguanas, underwater snorkel park). However, they are cheap enough to add on at $15 to go to the underwater park. One downside or maybe an upside (at least I thought so), is the internet is very spotty so sometimes you cannot access it. I didn't mind as my goal was to disconnect. But if you need internet, you can pay the $5 for the day but it may not work the whole time. I get it for parents with littles that might need that video or music to soothe them for nap. I would recommend downloading songs on your phone so you can access when on island or bring a small speaker. It is definitely a family friendly environment. We also did this excursion as a couple (without kids) and it was just as good. Not too many kids that you cannot relax peacefully. Overall, I gave it a 4 out of 5 as there are some small things that I think could be better (I.e. wet toliet paper in the restrooms, but I think that was more other visitors and the spray from the ocean than anything else) and the pathways a little wider.

This was our favorite excursion while here! Getting a cabana was worth it, food and drink served to you all day long included in price, don't have to worry about leaving your stuff while you swim/snorkel/watersports. It was a hit with our teenage son! The current was so strong that snorkeling got canceled, but the waves crashing over side were amazing! There was a mix up with boats to take us back and it extended our day by over an hour waiting and people were getting upset because they risked nothing their cruise ship. Buy, the crew got us back to where we needed to go and were all so kind! Highly recommend this package!!!

This was such an amazing value compared to what we would have paid directly through our cruise line. It's not super fancy and the ferry time was late going both ways which caused some stress but overall, I would definitely do this again. Free drinks (yummy too!) Free lunch (it was very good also!) Guided snorkeling (was wonderful and beautiful!) and relaxation above everyone at the beach. 5 stars from us! Thank you for a memorable day!

This experience was first class!!! Upon arrival Ainsley our Butler made sure we knew about all options available during our stay. Snorkeling, Paddle Boarding & Canoeing He also made our snorkeling reservation! Ainsley brought lunch to our Cabana & drinks! You’ll see long line waits for everything!!! We sat back & relaxed. We left a hefty tip!!! Ainsley was AMAZING!!! The cruise ship we were on was offering this exact experience for 3x’s the price. Helpful tips: Ask to be returned to the Elizabeth Dock next to your cruise ship instead of returning to the Jimmy Buffet boat port/Ferry Island, they stop there anyways. (You’ll need to be comfortable getting to Jimmy Buffet Restaurant/Boat Port in the morning. My kids loved this fast boat/loud music/energetic vibe and it added to the day!)

The location was beautiful, the staff very friendly and responsive. It’s a wonderful spot to relax and feel a little remote but still have all the modern conveniences.
