Rented a few jet ski's and Lorenzo (owner of Renzo Jet Ski's on Seven Mile Beach) recommended we go to Booby CAy...so we asked him to lead us there (3 single girls). What an amazing experience! The locals were having a Sunday Funday party and we blended right in while enjoying red stripes, jerk chicken & grilled whole lobsters with... More

Took a boat with Easton from Sea Adventures....picked up in front of the resort, then headed to Booby Cay for lobster. Watched them cook and bring in the catch of fish, crab, octopus, and conch. We loved our lunch, then headed out to a larger reef to snorkel. Snorkeling was terrific, but we pulled anchor after an hour and continued... More

We only spent a couple of hours on the island to snorkel. Small reef around the island. We did not eat any lobster but there was a large group there who were enjoying themselves. If you go be careful as there are lot of sea urchins in the water.

Stopped on this small island as part of our snorkel trip. They will cook you up a nice fresh lobster for $15 bucks and its worth it. Kevins Kitchen its called and its something like the old Pirate days,cooking on an open fire.

This is a little island about a mile from Breezes/Hedo. There's not much happening there except they serve lobster lunches. They lift up a cage with nice sized lobsters. You pick what you want. They let you take pictures and then throw it on the grill. Not much to do while they're cooking...just look around a small sort of beach... More

The best lobster we ever had in our life! It couldn't possibly get any better! We got to watch live lobsters come right from the ocean, prepped before our eyes and cooked over an open fire.

This was an absolutely amazing day. Vincent took us on a snorkel tour & then dropped us at the island. While there, you can purchase fresh lobster for $20 & they grill it for you. Incredible!

We took a boat trip to this island and did some snorkelling and strolled around. Really pretty spot. I most enjoyed the Lobster that a local guy cooked fresh for us, it was yum yum!

The island is dirty and no bathrooms. They tell you to follow the path and find a tree. My experience was a very bad one. there were 13 of us. The catamaran looked great anchored out in the water, but once you got on you could see how old it was(bad shape) we all paid $60. told there would be... More
