Unexpected Special Service Handling - This is one reputable tour operator.. and also a compliment to Viator. It’s rare that a traveler gets taken care of when you’re away from home. Our ship could not dock due to big waves. We had no choice but cancel 90 minutes ahead of our tour. We received complete understanding from tour operator and help cancelling without any pain. This is a honest good service and likely fabulous excursion.

Amazing! Book It! - The best snorkle with Captain Beanz and Lee. Small group, just 6 on boat. Mr Beanz took is all around the reef, stopping for us to look at our pace. We saw three turtles, lots and lots of fish, experienced co2 “champagne” gas coming out of the reef, then moved on to a short drift snorkle. We were very close to where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean.. after the drift snorkel we moved on to the beach with the warm volcanic soaking pool. Some spots were very warm, and as you dig your hands in the gravel it is even warmer. This is also heated by the Chpagne bubbles. They were coming up all along the beach, not just in the warm pool. The beach shack there had drinks, snacks and other bathers, but we were the only ones in the pool. A group of schoolchildren were having an excursion there. A very colorful and unique beach. You will love this tour!

Very good trip. Great guides - It was a great trip, we were on our way to 5. The guide showed us perfect snorkel stops. A very successful trip. Highly recommended.

Champagne snorkel was... - Champagne snorkel was simply amazing! Columns of bubbles, small and large (feel them on your face!) Our guide collected a tube of bubble water from the bottom, poured out on our hands, warm! Saw numerous varieties of fish, plus a Hawks bill turtle sleeping under a rock, and a Moray eel.

Champagne snorkeling - Huge thanks to Michael towing me around snorkeling. I had a broken toe and couldn’t use fins. He enabled me to enjoy the amazing snorkeling experience Highly recommend.

We recommend - We booked the snorkeling but had the chance to upgrade to Full Day and we enjoyed it a lot. We saw highlights and they took very good care of us.

Full Day in Dominica Tour Champagne Reef, Titou Gorge, Hot Springs, Waterfalls - We are an active 'senior' couple on a Royal Cruise. Very, very easy to access the tour, at the end of the dock as we walked off the ship. We had worried a little about this, taking a 'non-Royal' excursion but the entire trip was amazing and the tour completely understood the needs of cruise passengers. Snorkeling cancelled so had a full day tour substituted and so glad we did it! After getting in the very comfortable van (this included not only us seniors but a younger couple with a 4 year old) we set off on our adventure. Champagne Reef. I read some reviews that it is hard to get from the road to the beach and then access the reef this way. My opinion - no problem getting down the hill to snorkel or into the water, but if help was needed the tour guides (2) were fabulous! (There are stone steps going down, but you can go slow) Freedom to swim + guides to provide educational information by our sides. Bubbles were cool .. and I found a baby Octopus! Turtles, fish, reefs and bubbles ... It did not feel like a commercial tour, I felt like I was experiencing "Dominica" in a pace that fit my physical capability (didn't feel tired, go at your own pace) with a sense of serenity gazing up at the foliage that meets the shore. It was mindfulness at it's best! Titou Gorge: I felt like I was in the jungle .. and this activity is in the water. Cold water yes ... ,but really not that bad and yes, you have a life preserver on. Important to know, you can 'swim in' and go only as far as you want to go and then swim out. Swimming out you are with the current ... Our two guides were in the water with us (8 : 2 ratio). One hangs back ... one goes first ... this way all can experience some of the 'feel' of a gorge without too much effort. For reference I was a strong swimmer in the past ... now at my age would not put myself in that category but also not anxious swimming. Toward the end of the gorge the current was strong (you need some excitement) and you are swimming against it but there are ties in the rock sides to rappel forward. Worked as a group ... Awesome, exciting .... did not have a camera in the gorge but wish I did. Felt 100% safe an absolute highlight of the tour. This place is so quiet and undeveloped that even if you wanted to just 'watch' at the beginning of the gorge, there are places to sit. And do some local 'shopping' (a few tables set up) for hand crafted jewelry .... I think that small group really makes a difference, would not want to be with a large crowd for this. Afterwards - Did a very easy hike to Trafalgar Falls and then to soak at Tia Hot Springs. Each 'event' was planned to do at your own speed or sit back and enjoy the beauty of Dominica and simply just 'be'. Best part was driving around in our 8 person van through the countryside of Dominica .. it was very comfortable and had AC. Had local sandwiches .... Guides responsible and aware of the need of cruise passengers to be back at the ship in a timely way. Dominca was amazing and if we went back this tour company would be the first I would call to plan an entire week's vacation around their tours. Guides were friendly, kind, easy to ask questions to and knew the island. If I could give 100 stars I would!

Comprehensive snorkeling experience - Captain Jeff guided us knowledgeably and with the most pleasant demeanor. We have snorkeled in several places in the Caribbean, Hawaii and Mediterranean and this was perhaps the best overall experience, considering group size (very small), time it took to get to snorkeling grounds (very little), variety of fauna and geophysical features (quite a bit), and cost (reasonable).

Highly recommended half day with a wonderful team on a beautiful island - So pleased we chose this excursion for our day in Dominica. We were put as ease with excellent communication in the weeks before the trip. The trip its self was a perfect way to see the best of the coastline by sea and enjoy some expertly guided snorkeling. Highly recommended.

Wiatukubuli Volcano Snorkeling trip problems - We experienced a couple of problems with this tour. First, the tour was over an hour late. We arrived at the meeting point a few minutes early but did not find representatives of the tour company. They finally showed up about 20 minutes after the tour was scheduled to begin. Then we waited another 40 minutes to make the short walk to the boat to start the tour over an hour late. The trip out to the snorkeling site was nice and uneventful. The tour was a total of 8 people in our group, plus a safety swimmer/guide from the boat in the water. Little, if any, instruction as to where we were going to swim as given before entering the water. This tour is in open water over 10 feet deep, and there was some tidal current in the water which made swimming a bit more difficult. My problem occurred over half way into our swim when we encountered another larger tour of snorkelers who swam through our group. At this point, I somehow lost sight of our guide and ended up following the other group. Once I realized this, I started looking for our guide, but he was nowhere to be seen and our boat was quite a distance away. Fortunately, the other tour group was from the same company as ours, and their guide helped me back to our boat where I found our guide and the rest of our group on board. This is very bad form from a safety point of view. Our guide should not have gotten out of the water until all from our group were accounted for. This means that he was not able to keep track of all his people in the water. The lesson from this is that the safety swimmer/guide needs to constantly keep track of his group. He should wear something distinctive so that he would be easily recognizable in the water from other guides. And lastly, he should not leave the water until all of his group is accounted for. Beware of this tour unless you are an experienced swimmer/snorkeler.
