My friend and I had a great time. The staff/crew were patient and very helpful with those who are not the best swimmers. They practiced the uptmost safety and were diligent with us seeing the beautiful sea turtles and other marine life.
This was the perfect excursion! We booked with transportation, and the staff was very easy to communicate with to coordinate pick up time and were on time. The boat itself was big and felt very safe. The crew onboard was FANTASTIC!! They were extremely friendly and considerate. We had three non swimmers in our group, and the staff personally took them out on an inner tube and brought them to the shipwreck and turtle so that they could enjoy as well. One of our members was very anxious and wasn’t planning on going in the water, but the crew individually took care of her and she had an amazing time! Other families on the boat had little kids and I saw the crew taking care of the kids and making sure they had a great time. We saw lots of fish and one turtle. Everybody is so caring and ensures that all passengers could enjoy the trip, regardless of age or swimming ability. At the end, we got to jump off the side of the boat and go down the slide, which was a lot of fun. Life jackets and snorkeling equipment were provided! I highly recommend this experience!!
Had such a wonderful time Snorkeling and even got to jump off the side of the boat. I went solo and didn't feel alone. Definitely recommend.
This was the best part of our vacation! Shuttled all 12 of us. Guides were friendly and helpful. Really took care of the older adults. Beach was beautiful so we stayed for a while. So affordable for the experience!
The guides on our tour were hands down AMAZING!!! We could have spent all day with them! It was our first time and we had a 6 year old they 100% made sure he was comfortable. They were patient caring and just beautiful humans. They made that trip one we will never forget!! We can't wait to go back next year just to see them!
