private snorkeling and sunset tour - We took a private sunset snorkeling tour on 9/24/2025. We had an amazing time. Frank and Carlos were a wonderful crew. My dad, 76, has limited mobility from a stroke and they were both patient and helpful. On our journey to the first snorkeling spot, frank spotted a sea turtle and a whale. He was able to approach both of them for us to get photos and videos. At the first location, my mom had not snorkeled previously. Frank and Carlos helped and provided information for a positive experience. We had a helpful guide in the water that found puffer fish, lobster, and other things we would not have seen ourselves. Upon our return, they cut fresh pineapple and had drinks. We went to a second stop and had another good time. Frank and Carols made fresh guacamole with chips. We were able to see the sun setting on the ocean. i would recommend this trip over any of the other crowded tours.

Incrediable experience - Had a wonderful experience! Our captain Frank took us to a great snorkeling area and kept diving to find fishes/octopus for us! On our way back we saw a great view of sunset & thunderstorm at the same time and we ran away from the rain! The food was also great! Frank prepared lots of cold drinks(water, soda, beers etc.), fruits, chips and cookies!

Loved the afternoon snorkeling/golden hour! - Had a great time on the afternoon tour/golden hour. Frank and John Carlos did a great job taking care of our group of 9 (ages 11-50). Snorkeled at two spots that were beautiful, visited a private beach with a ton of hermit crabs, and had a amazing view of the sunset while we headed back enjoying delicious fruit and snacks they prepared for us.

Excellent tour - Fabulous trip with great hosts - was travelling with my wife and 13 year old daughter. We saw lobster, puffer-fish, star fish, all manner of reef fish on a 3.5 hour, 2 stop trip. Snorkel gear was top quality. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thoroughly recommended
