I dont' know how to swim at all and was even afraid of the water. However, our hotel staffs greatly recommended Vincent and promised that he will be great and he was!!! Vincent and his staff picked us up right from our hotel (right on the cliffs) with their boats and we sailed off to the reefs. He got in... More

Vincent respects the reef and the fact that it is fragile - we witnessed this first-hand when another group was about to swim to a part of the reef that wasn't swimmable - and Vincent helped out so that no one in the group would harm the reef. Vincent was very kind and courteous, plus he knows his way around... More

We called Famous Vincent a few days before we wanted to snorkel the reefs. He was most obliging and punctual. He took us to Middle Reef and jumped right into the water with us. He showed us around and pointed out and showed us various sights, coral types, and sea creatures. He placed a west-idian urchin on our hand and... More

He is very friendly, and very knowledgeable of the reef. It was nice to go on the guided tour, as we snorkeled around. He would dive down and show us neat things. We saw a lobster, turtle, stingrays, sea cucumbers, an angel fish, and a whole lot of other stuff. It is definitely one of the cheaper excursions in Negril,... More

The water was pretty deep. Everyone had a great time in our group. Vincent is awesome. I second that the crew like to hit on you very uncomfortable. More

My husband went on a snorkeling tour with Famous Vincent and had a great time, as well as did half of our resort. He's very friendly, knowledgable and safe. You can also arrange to go fishing with him, I heard another couple raving about how much fish they caught. More

My boyfriend and I recently returned from our vacation in Negril where we went on Vincent's Glass Bottom Boat tours. Vincent and his crew are highly entertaining and great tour guides. He picked us up right at our resort and took us out to the reef. I was a bit skeptical having snorkeled many times before that the area was... More

Famous Vincent will pick you up in his boat to go snorkeling at the reef for $25/person for a few hours. Overall snorkeling experience is great - instead of being dropped in the ocean to look around on our own, a guide snorkels with you and leads you to different areas of the reef. You will have an excellent chance... More

After reading reviews on tripadvisor, my husband and I decided to book a snorkeling tour with Famous Vincent. Vincent and his crew picked us up by boat on the cliff in front of our hotel. After a nice boat ride (approx. 1 hour), we arrived at the Sandy Key reef. Vincent and his staff provided all of the equipment we... More

Novice snorkeler ? Not the best swimmer? Then a trip with Famous Vincent is what you need to make you feel comfortable and confident while touring the magnificent reef. We stay on the cliffs on the West End of Negril. Vincent and Roger will pick you up seaside right from your hotel. Then it is a trip along the cliffs,... More
