Wonderful knowledgeable crew. Extraordinary experience - The entire experience was amazing. We saw stingrays, lion fish and other sea life while snorkeling. Our guide through the mangroves on kyaks was informative and pointed out a lot of the different birds nesting. The crew was incredible. The sailboat and cruise a delight.

Local guides gave great commentary! - Logan, Cloud, and Rocky made our trip! They were all friendly and professional, and set a great tone for a fun and relaxing trip. I loved the extra commentary on the reef, the area’s history, and the birds and mangroves we saw. Going with a local company and in a small group totally paid off.
