This was a fabulous trip! They took good care of us! We had a couple of special request and they went above and beyond to meet our request. They were respectful, fun and we have zero complaints! We would definitely book this again!

Kudos to Manny & the crew!
Manny and his mates were wonderful guides. We learned a lot about the shipwreck, the tides, the reef and sea creatures we could find while snorkeling, and about iguana island. It was a very enjoyable excursion, not lacking any activity. I loved that we were reminded to enjoy our vacation and not use our phones too much. They provided plenty of drinks and food. Overall we felt safe and had a blast on this excursion!

Great time with the family!
We had a great time (5 of us). The staff were fun and knowledgeable. Drinks (water, pop, rum punch) and food (sandwiches/fruit tray) were provided as well. Highly recommend!

Caring and knowledgeable
We didn’t end up going on this tour, but did a different one with Caribbean cruisin the day before. Unfortunately on Monday the day we arrived, I was but by a mosquito and on the day of our adventure I was in the ER being treated for dengue fever. Caribbean cruisin was nice enough to give us a refund for missing the experience. The conch diving and lunch trip was fun and a neat experience as first timers to T&C. Capt was friendly and tried engaging with the clients. The refund on their part shows they have integrity and care for their clients.

Amazing experience
Dan and Evans were spectacular on this tour. Fun, informative, beautiful, and most of all I felt safe and taken care of even with my young kids. I’d do this tour over and over.

Excellent
Ronald, Jon and Bob were amazing! Very attentive and informative. We had a fantastic time and my son wished we could give a billion star review!

Mediocre
Found this tour disappointing. There was miscommunication about pick up spot so our family of 5 was left waiting for over 30 minutes before pick up. The boat was already packed when we boarded so we were not very comfortable. The guides spoke very little to the group- explained the history of the shipwreck- somewhat interesting but you just ride by and look. The snorkel spot was super underwhelming- not a lot of activity. None of the guides talked about fish or what we would see in any detail. Iguana island was just a hot walk and we saw a handful of iguanas. Then back on the boat there were sandwiches and fruit. We have done many vacation tours and this one was maybe a 5/10- the vibes were very low energy and dull….

John and Evenz = best tour guides!
Our whole family had an amazing time on this tour. John and Evenz made the trip super fun and comfortable. They shared lots of information about the islands. Best rum punch in the world! Ten stars to Evenz and John!

Fun Snorkeling!
Had a blast snorkeling and visiting iguana island. The provided lunch and drinks are nice as well! We also got to see an shipwreck, an old Russian built freighter that was blown onto some shallows from port during a hurricane.
