Creating memories!! - The entire experience was amazing! We had an elderly woman in our group. The captain himself helped her board the boat. The entire crew was so kind and friendly. They made you feel like family. Once we were in the water, Nick was phenomenal! His ability to hold his breath for so long as he took my GoPro and filmed turtles for me at depths I could not reach. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES YOU HELPED CREATE!!!

Murky water can still be fun. - Great group to go with. They offer prescription lenses for those who wear glasses. The water was murky do to the surf but that was not in there control. What they did control was still helping everyone see as many fish as possible and pointing out the sea turtles as soon as possible.

Awesome experience - We had a great time and saw a lot of cool fish and lots of sea turtles. The crew was very helpful and very informative. I even got to hold a cool sea creature aka steve. Overall fun time. Word of caution the water was pretty rough so if you are not a great swimmer or even have asthma I would tell the crew so they can help you.

Fun Thing To Do - The staff were very friendly and helpful, we only seen one or two turtles that were a decent distance away but the experience was fun either way.

Rough waters - The captain and crew were great. We didn’t expect the rough waters, which made all of us sea sick while snorkeling. We took motion sickness medication prior to going out but it wasn’t enough. The group was also clumped in the water in a big group and we kept running into each other. Would have preferred a calmer area for snorkeling, even if it meant not seeing the turtles.

Do not book! - Waste of money. Terrible visibility . We snorkelled near surfers. Whole boat got sea sick. Need to go to a protected area where there aren’t so many waves. It was way too expensive for what it was. Highly recommend not booking.
