Great snorkel trip! - Had a great time snorkeling and seeing different parts of the island. We saw turtles and many kinds of fish. My daughter saw a sting ray. Sean was a great captain and host. He offered to take pictures of our family while snorkeling. I would recommend this tour!

Do not miss this incredible adventure! - Don't miss this awesome trip! I can't say enough good things about it. This is so much more than just snorkeling - it's truly a guided tour of the island with the most amazing Captain Shawn. Shawn went above and beyond to tell us about the history of the island, answer all of our questions, help us with our snorkeling equipment, play great music, serve great drinks and make the afternoon so special. I could go on and on! Please thank Captain Shawn for making our entire visit to the island. I know great things are in his future.

Sailing and the Sea - We had a wonderful day with Captain Sean on our sail. He was very accommodating and constantly searching and pointing out things for us to see which included turtles, dolphins, and landmarks. He is very knowledgeable about SXM. Sean made sure we were safe at all times and that we stayed hydrated and also enjoyed some snacks. For me, as an older sailer, he anticipated and provided assistance when needed. It was a great way to see SXM from the sea and Sean did an excellent job, Thank you, Sean.

Snorkeling, Dolphins & Suds - We spent a fantastic afternoon with a great group! Our captain, ''Shawn'' I think , was full of information and he also had plenty of adult beverages on board which is why I'm not sure about captain's name! We were lucky to see about a dozen dolphins up close which even impressed Shawn!

Captain Sean is the absolute best - I tried to send this by letter but it was returned, so here it is: I am writing you with reference to a great experience my I had on one of your boat tours due to outstanding customer service by one of your associates, Captain Sean of the Sand Dollar Tour. I took the morning tour on December 22nd and was delighted by Sean's friendliness and knowledge of your beautiful island which he shared with me and the other passengers. Sean went above and beyond to make our experience on the tour really special. He was especially good with a family with six children, so he must also be incredibly patient and kind. I hope you will pass on our sincere thanks and gratitude to Sean and ask that this letter be placed in his employee file as our thanks for his help, kindness, and professional demeanor during the tour. I want to thank you for your time in this matter.

Great Time - Great 1/2 day excursion from Simpson Bay! There were 4 of us in our party and 5 additional people. Great time snorkeling where we went to after navigating through the water ways and ending up on the french side of the island. Shawn was an amazing captain giving us a history lesson while we made our way to and from our destination. He was kind, funny and safe! This was a great way to see the island from another perspective and it was great! Definitely recommend!

Awesome! - Had a great time! Beautiful waters, beautiful place. We were taken to 3 different spots for snorkeling and each was just wonderful. Aqua Mania took us on a proper boat (not a powerboat) and provided refreshments to eat and drink. I can’t wait to go snorkeling again with Aqua Mania.

Worth the price! - My family LOVED the snorkeling! I loved the atmosphere that Roy and Chantilly made for their passengers! Drinks and snacks were perfect! Just a little hard to find in the beginning. Make sure you go to the Simpson Bay Resort and it is underneath, by the water. There is a shop by the marina that you must check-in.

Highly recommend this boat trip! - Loved this trip, it was the best day of our holiday. The captain, Shawn, was friendly and knowledgeable. We only managed to see one turtle but there were plenty of fish at Creole Rock. We also stopped at a couple of bays on the way back for more swimming . The free drinks, bread and cheese were most appreciated. We really enjoyed the boat trip there and back but it does get bouncy so maybe not so good for those that are not so comfortable on the water!
