Don't Miss This Excursion, It's Awesome! - The snorkeling portion was outstanding, we saw more fish and coral habitat than in other excursions dedicated just to snorkeling. The views from the sub were great, we saw a ray, sea turtle, many kinds of fish. Highly recommend this, my family thought it was fantastic. The only part I didn't like was $20 per person "dock fee". This should be included in the cost of the excursion. Be sure to bring cash for this.

Great ferry ride, okayish submarine ride (did not snorkel) - Our initial booking was moved due to weather and when we got there, they checked us in and we were taken in a ferry (it's fast) to the ocean. The ride from the lagoon through the mangrove forest into the ocean is amazing. You can actually get on top of the ferry and let you hair fly in the wind. It rained when we were on it but it was more fun that way. Once you reach the ocean, you transfer into a submarine to go underwater. The sub goes only 10-15 under water which was way shorter than I expected (the one I took in Maui- Hawaii went 100 ft deep). Since it's a small sub, it wobbles quite a bit and if you have motion sickness, you could feel sick pretty easy. They mention this and they have a puke bag inside in case you need it. The view was good and there was a surprise visit from Amy the mermaid.

Great experience, wish they cleared the clutter - It was great, the boat ride to the mangroves and the submarine experience was very cool. Only downside was that there were empty drink cups around the boat ride and the trash was full. Wish they would do a quick clean in between groups.

Event never happened. ... - Event never happened. Waste of time. Broke all the excitement. If the event is cancelled. It should not be on the list of bookings. Very poor, did not like the response at all. Just a standard message does not help the purpose and time put in to go for the event only to know 1 hour before that it is cancelled.

Bad attention, - I called the contact number on my ticket 2 hours before, Melina answered... and I asked if the departure was confirmed... she told me that it was... and when I went to the place they told me that there were no departures and I scheduled you for Friday the 30th.... without giving me any document.... I paid for transportation in vain... because Miss Melina was not able to verify that there were no departures
