We had a wonderful time snorkeling with this crew. The boat was new, clean, and bathrooms were nice. The crew was incredibly helpful in teaching and encouraging our inexperienced snorkelers. The captain answered all of our questions, and we had two small kids with A LOT of questions. The captain was so kind to the young ones in our group and let them pull on the sail rope. We even saw two manta rays on the way back! Overall we all had a great time and would recommend this great snorkeling experience.

The crew was extremely professional and kind. They had a deep knowledge of the history, the wildlife and the culture of our snorkeling location. We had a member of our group that was a first time snorkeler, and Roe game him a pep talk that allowed him to enjoy his time. And the drinkz was bomb!

It was a great boat ride. They provided plenty of snacks and drinks to keep a little child occupied and interested. The ride out to the bay to snorkel was easy going and my pregnant wife was able to sit up front with no issues with bumps etc! Very easy going ride and the crew was fantastic they have everything you need from prescription goggles to toddler life jackets! Highly recommend!!! Thank You!
