The crew was awesome and the lobster lunch was delicious! Don't forget about the rum punch! Snorkeling was fun and we were able to see all kinds of things especially the 3 sea turtles
They picked us up where our hotel designated driver took us. It was the wrong tour. Rather than be civil and kind and asked us to pay, they dropped us off on the beach stranded like dirt. Could have been handled with much more professionalism. Had to call and pay for a taxi home. They never even asked us if would pay for the mistaken cruise. Which we would have. Everyone from the taxi driver to our hotel folks were beyond comprehension that they were so rude. #neveragain
Gosh who is reviewing this tour!?!? I have been lucky enough to snorkel all over the world and this is definitely the worst snorkelling trip I have ever paid for. Total waste of a precious holiday day.
Pros:
- Staff are lovely
- Boat is in good condition
- Snorkelling equipment is very well maintained
- Food is nice, drinks provided
Cons:
- You're with a large crowd of other people (25?)
- 2 hours each way to get to the first snorkelling spot. You go round the other resorts picking up (and waiting for) the hoardes of other people.
- The snorkelling itself is not worth the 4 hour round trip on the boat, or the money. We saw a turtle and a sting ray, but there is very little coral or sea life to speak of.
- It's a real beginners tour. They give you a life belt and force you to wear it. They ask you to stay in a big crowd, near the guide. Would be fine if there weren't so many people!
The big problem with this tour is that it doesn't know who it's aiming at. With the alcohol flowing and the music playing loud, you'd think this was a young person's party tour. But with the life belts, heavy safety focus and lack of freedom (and reality of the clientele) you're covering the family vibe. As a couple, this wasn't at all what we were looking for.
I would book this tour if you'd like to spend the day on a boat, drinking alcohol with a load of other families and couples. Not if you want to experience good snorkeling.
Had a blast on our excursion. The boat picked us up at the next resort over from ours, which was easy and convenient to get on and off at. We met fun people from other resorts to hang out with all day. Snorkeling was awesome, saw sting rays and so many fish! The lobster lunch was one of the top experiences of our vacation. And the staff were super friendly and fun they make a great rum punch! Definitely recommend.
Great day out snorkeling, superb lunch on the beach and the friendliest crew your ever likely to meet. I highly recommend this for a fun day out.
