Fantastic Snorkeling Trip - Fantastic snorkeling trip! We had 2 families with 4 adults and 4 kids ages 12-14. Crew was super knowledgeable and helpful. They kept a close eye on us from the boat and water. We stopped at 2 places and saw many different kinds of fish, corral, etc. Boat was big enough to easily move around. They provided life vests for less experienced swimmers (and adults who wanted to float lazily in the water!) At the second stop, the boat could not anchor so they had to keep moving around. We had about a 50 yard swim to the boat at its furthest point, so make sure younger kids either have the life vest or are strong swimmers. Lunch was delicious - chicken, rice, noodles and beans. Elvis picked us up from our hotel and was a great driver. Just keep in mind that it can take 45 min+ to get from the north part of the island to Marigot Bay due to traffic. We had our pick up around 8:15am and returned back to the hotel around 3:30pm. Highly recommend Dive Fair Helen!!

Great day out - We signed up for the snorkeling tour and had a great time. Elvis who picked us up was charming and caring. Quite a long drive from Rodney bay but Marigot is beautiful. We were in a mixed scuba/snorkeling group (about 12 of us) so there was a bit of waiting around while they got scuba divers sorted. Boat trip to site was pretty quick and then plenty of guided snorkeling. Saw lots of different fish on 2 sites. Great crew who gave us a small but very nice lunch. Highly recommend.

Not to miss snorkel trip in St Lucia - Had a great day snorkeling with Andres and his crew. He made sure we saw some of the best spots in St Lucia and it didn’t disappoint. The homemade lunch on board was very good. Was one of the best days we spent during our vacation in St Lucia.

A GREAT VALUE AND EXERIENCE - This was the best tour we took on our 5 day visit! It is very well organized giving divers and snorkelers two different periods in the water. The lunch in between was very good and a perfect break in between dives. The owner was very hands on in picking us up from our hotel and in guiding and coordinating a smooth and most enjoyable day. A true value!!!

Highly recommended! - Great family-run snorkeling trip. Awesome caring crew from start to finish. Great food and there were no problems from lack of attention or lack of planning.

Nice snorkeling with a great lunch - Very nice trip. EXCELLENT LUNCH, by Sam. Had some difficulty getting picked up in Anse La Ray—the driver didn’t want to take directions and insisted he pick us up at the town pier, which was a 15 minute walk through traffic from our lodging.

Nice tour. Once was enough though. - Adventure started out rough. Booked the tour and got the receipt. Sent a couple unanswered follow up questions about how to get to their detached dive shop like in the instructions. We lodged within eye sight of the shop so thought we could figure it out. The morning we walked down to the board walk to look for the ferry over to the dive shop. A man, not wearing anything that said Dive Fair Helen " came up to us and asked if we were going snorkeling? For some reason I affirmed this question and he said to come with him he will take us and will be out guide. Well alarm bells are ringing my head if you know anything about the island outside of a resort and how helpful people want to be for some money. He told us to wait at a table and he'd be back with paperwork. The paper had nothing on it that said Dive Fair Helen and I still didn't know how we were getting to the dive shop like booking said to. I called the phone number DFH a couple times and no one answered. Finally asked a waitress in the dock restaurant about where the ferry was over to the dive shop and she told me the boat was parked on this side of bay and told me where I could go see it. We did and the boat said Dive Fair Helen. This was somewhat comforting and mind you we were the only ones there for 30+ minutes and time we were to be at dive shop was now. Shortly after 2 other couple groups that were taxied in from other locations came into the restaurant area and said they were there for the snorkeling. This made me feel better. After this the tour went well. The guy that initially approached us was actually the guide and did a good job. The food was on par for St Lucia and a nice snack, dont expect a meal. The dive sites were 2 reefs along the coast. One had a bunch of tiny jellyfish that bit the whole group and we were only at that site 5 min. They don't have first-aid cream or vinegar on boat so be ready. The stings mostly were gone by time tour was over. Am I glad we did it, yes. Would I do it again, No. Communication was non existent and the confusion starting the day was not helpful. Signs and/or shirts identifying DFH would have been very helpful.

Could have been better - The trip started a bit shaky. The crew did not really welcome us aboard, and the ship was not in great shape. We did not see any life jackets, nor were we given safety instructions. Maybe they do t differently here, but this would not measure up to USCG standards. After two trips across the bay to stock up in scuba tanks, we set off on our trip. The actual snorkeling was fun, and my wife was given special attention because she was a little bit apprehensive. The food was very good, and the captain was very permissive with the kids, allowing them to jump off the side of the boat at will. We had fun and but for the lack of safety instruction, visible life jackets, and a well-maintained boat, this would’ve been an excellent trip. There are better options available on the island, though.

Late picking us up - The company was more than 30 minutes late picking us up from our cruise port. When we arrived, we had to pay taxes which further delayed us (not sure why this wasn’t included in the original price). Due to the fact that we were late being picked up, we had to skip the second snorkel site, which was very disappointing as we paid for this. The boat captain told us we could either go to the second site, or go back to the dock and not get any sort of money back for missing the second dive site. It would have been impossible to attend the second dive site and make it back to the cruise ship in time, but the captain made it seem like we had a choice. Very disappointing. The snorkelling itself was pretty cool, with clear water, lots of fish and eels. The equipment was cheap, but our guide in the water showed us some cool stuff. Would not recommend this excursion due to the fact that their delay caused us not to see the second snorkel site.
