Highly Recommend Black Tip! 5-Star
I highly recommend Black Tip for a 5-Star experience! They were so great with our 3 young children, making them feel very comfortable during the Bioluminescence tour! My 7-yr old was so scared to get into the water at night, but they were so great with great energy! Highly recommend!

Fantastic
This is a must do experience. All of our kids ages 6~20 loved it and so did we. Glenn was amazing and the night swimming was not as scary as we thought it would be. A great time by all!
