Nice snorkeling with the turtles - We had a great time. The crew were very helpful spotting turtles for us. They had refreshments. The boat ride to and from was petty short so we had a good amount of time snorkeling with the turtles. They were able to drop us off at a closer location so we could save money on a taxi back to our resort

Awesome experience, lots of turtles - We were a little nervous when we arrived to the harbor because it felt super unofficial (even our cab driver got out of the car and walked with us to make sure he was dropping us in a real spot) but we felt much better once the BlueFin team pulled up. After a short (and fun, scenic) ride out to Rose Island, we dropped into the water and the turtles were all around. The BlueFin team pointed out the turtles as they spotted them so we knew which way to swim. It was awesome! There was also a reef with beautiful tropical fish to complement the experience. One the way back in, Captain Keith dropped us off at the cruise port for a super convenient walk back to our ship.

Snorkeling with the turtles and fish was a family fun experience! The 2 local tour guides were very helpful and friendly - We walked from the Bahamas cruise lines pier and it was probably about a 20 minute walk to the dock. Two local gentlemen, were our captains and assisted us with the snorkeling tour. They were very personable and accommodating with drinks, water, soda or beer. They made us comfortable on the boat; assisted us getting our gear on as well as making us as comfortable in seating locations. When we got onto the boat, we were provided with a life vest, and they explained to us the rules. We then took a boat ride to the reef. As we proceeded to the we got to the reef area, they provided us with information about the area- Atlantis Hotel and other facilities along the way. We got to the reef and put on snorkeling gear, - mask and flippers. Got into the water and they directed us to where the turtles heads were popping out of the water! We saw at least 6 - 10 turtles and took a lot of pictures under the water and grim the boat. We had our cell phones in a water proof case to take photos of the turtles and they were pretty close by us! It was pretty cool seeing them! We were at the site for about an hour and then headed back to the dock. They guys were very friendly and educated for the experience! We asked them to recommend a restaurant nearby and we went to one right off the pier called the Green Parrot!

Highly recommend - INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!! My friends and I went and we ended up being the only people on the excursion, so it felt like a private boat ride! The host is SO FUN and really personalized our tour. I was tempted to book the tour twice while I was here!!

They cancelled…and then cancelled AGAIN! - My family was excited to swim with the turtles and we arranged our entire day around the timing of the tour…but then not just one day but TWO DAYS IN A ROW this company cancelled our tour. They claimed it was because visibility was poor, but we walked to the ferry terminal to look into other tours and there were lots of boats going to Green Cay Island to visit the turtles. The woman who arranges all of the tours at the ferry terminal said that we had been lied to, that visibility was fine, and that they probably just didn’t have enough people sign on to bother going through with the tour. This tour may be a little more affordable than some of the other tours, but it wasn’t worth saving a little money when they don’t have the integrity to maintain their commitment.
