Great family fun experience! - Kitson and the crew make the trip special every minute. The on time pickup all the way to the boat quality are top notch. The sharks and stingrays encounter portion are fun and lively with a massage from a stingray. The sharks… about 20 of them with a few roaming around are fun to see and totally safe feeling as you snorkel around them. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fun in the sun - Dearly was great! We originally signed up for parasailing but couldn’t go because of the wind so they hooked us up with alternate activities. Had a really fun time on the boat.

Snorkeling rays and sharks - Our family had a great time. Deraly was very friendly, helpful and was always asking if we were ok and needed anything. Yes the nurse sharks are in a cage but the cage is huge, you swim around inside it and see the rays and nurse sharks swim below you. I wish we did have some instruction with snorkels for my son who had never used-it freaked him out a bit to breathe through it and didn’t end up wanting to do it. The boat was fun with music and some dancing but definitely not a drink booze cruise-good for families. We stopped at a beautiful island and also snorkeled in the open water a bit and saw fish. I enjoyed it a lot-don’t let any negative reviews sway you-nothing is perfect but they tried really hard to keep people happy.

Great experience for the whole family. - We really enjoyed seeing the nurse sharks. It was fun to pet the sting ray and we enjoyed the reef snorkeling and private beach swim. The crew was fun and very nice. My kids enjoyed it and were treated great. Overall, a good excursion.

Tiny enclosure - The sharks and stingrays were kept in a tiny enclosure. The crew were very nice and energetic. They gave fresh fruits and Tostitos salsa as snacks. Brugal rum and fruit juice were served as drinks
