    Great time!
    We had a really good time on our tour. The guides were very interactive with us and the turtles we saw were massive. The gear was good and the boat ride was very calm.

    We went on a good sunny day and saw a pod of dolphins! Thanks to Kona & Corrin who helped so much with my son. They were all so friendly and fun. Definitely would go again. The 2 things that would make this 5 stars would be more time in the water and the chicken that comes with the lunch needs some improvement.

    Fun tour
    It was a fun tour. The crew were friendly. We didn’t see dolphins when we jumped into water the first three times.They let us went into the water 4th time, eventually we saw some dolphins. We were so lucky to see a monk seal as well.

    Fantastic and Friendly!
    This was a great time for us! The entire crew was fun and knowledgeable about where we were going and what we were seeing. My husband and I have been snorkeling with sea turtles before in the Caribbean, but never have we seen a site so plentiful with them. We wet for the 3 hour morning tour and it was the perfect length of time to see everything and have time left to do other things. I highly recommend this!

    Solo Scuba Diving experience
    Fantastic experience with a very friendly and supportive crew. Wasn’t sure if we could get out to dive because it was a bit windy but the captain decided it would be OK. The diving experience was wonderful and we were able to see a few pods of dolphins on the way to our dive spot.

    Incredible!
    This was an incredible experience!! Shabhed, Nacho, and Moana were amazing and clearly very experienced. This was my first ever certified ocean dive so before I was a little nervous, the crew put me at completely at ease. I would highly recommend booking with them.
