Do not do it!

They make you step off a wood deck onto the top of a boat to load. Very unsafe and unwilling to accommodate if you’re scared of the boat moving.

Jet Boat and Snorkel

Great if you want a short excursion close to the hotel zone. The staff were efficient and friendly. The boats are older but cruise and get you were you need to go. We have done this tour before and will probably do it again. It's a great value and fun, especially when the weather is sunny!

Amazing experience

We went on this excursion a day ago and can't stop talking about it. My partner had reservations about going on group tours but this completely changed his mind. Tour guide was fantastic and definitely would recommend to anyone we talk to.

Shoutout to Luis!

By far, one of my favorite excursions!!! I got to drive a speedboat for my first time, and honestly it was a little scary at first, but my host was amazing (Luis). I got the hang of it pretty quick, and was speeding right behind the group lead! The snorkeling portion of the excursion was also a first for me, which was pretty cool! I’d honestly love to do this again.
