Incredible experience! - The underwater experience in Saint Martin was amazing! Crystal-clear water, vibrant sea life, and such a peaceful feeling the moment you go below the surface. I absolutely loved it and would do it again 😍

Coolest thing I’ve done in a while! - This is a great half-day outing to snorkel among the sunken statues. Derek and Tara were good hosts. We heard about the creation of the statues from conception to installation. The snorkelling was in warm water with clear views of the statues. The statues are about 5 meters (16 feet) deep so you can easily dive down to swim among them. Make sure you have an underwater camera or invest in the photo package. I really enjoyed this experience.

Under SXM great trip for the price! - The trip was fantastic! Derek and Ashley were very friendly and knowledgeable. Was an added bonus to have Derek out with us as he showed us where the good sights were. Sting ray hiding in the sand that I swam right over. He dove down and gently encouraged him to move allowing us to see it.

Great tour - We made this tour to 3 adults and 1 child. Our guide was super friendly and everything went as described. The only downside was the fact that we had poor visibility of the sculptures due to the churning sea, but the provider can't help it. On the contrary, the guide made an effort and was in the water with us to show us things / animals. Sufficient material and swimming aids were offered for bad swimmers. Everything great

10/10, no notes! So amazing! - The sculpture park was an amazing experience. We saw all sorts of tropical fish, a barracuda, sea turtle, stingray, puffer fish, star fish, octopus and had an incredible time. The guides were amazing and provided so much history of the island and the culture here. 10/10, no notes!

Cute sculpture park - This is a great experience for novice snorkelers. It's a nice-size sculpture park, and has a few fish/turtle sightings. It's right off the beach at Little Bay, so very easy to get to.
