Unique experience

The team does a very good job, the animation is good, and it has the best water you can find in the area.

Great!

Everyone was great and so nice! It is definitely a party boat. But they also get you to jump in the water at two spots.

Highly recommended!

This tour is highly recommended! The guides were kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and had great English. We went snorkeling at two different locations, and saw beautiful colorful fish and a natural coral reef. It was amazing... just like in pictures and videos! There was also party music and dancing on board during and after the BBQ lunch. Fresh meat was grilled up right on the boat, making this a really fun half day excursion. If you have a tendency to seasickness as I do, take Dramamine /Gravol BEFORE you get on the boat! Unfortunately I forgot, so I did get seasick. The excursion staff were extremely kind and understanding, and when I still didn't feel better after 30 minutes, they arranged a speedboat to take me back to shore. I sat on the beach under an umbrella to recover while the rest of my family enjoyed the excursion!

When we entered the boat...

When we entered the boat there wasn’t many of us onboard. The boat left and circled around me came back to shore and picked up more as well as more at sea. The staff were good and fun as well as the BBQ served (very good) 2 stops were very nice and the water was so nice and clean.

Awesome time on the party boat

Don't come on this adventure if you don't like to drink and party because your glass will never be empty and the tunes won't stop. Nah but seriously its fun if you don't like to do that either. Took us to two spots for some snorkeling. The BBQ on board was legit from ribs to chicken wings. Would do it again!!

Great staff, but way over crowded

The staff was fantastic but the boat was extremely crowded and the snorkeling stops weren't very exciting. For starters our pickup was about 45 minutes late so we had to rush boarding the boat. We had booked a 20 person boat but there were 60-70 people and there was no where to sit down. We had opted for this cruise because it was close to our hotel. It's definitely worth it to take the long bus ride and go on the Paradise Island Cruise instead. The scenery and stops were much nicer.

Better luck next time!

Very long ride to get to the beach, went the wrong way as roads were closed. Excursion was short. The bbq lunch consists of 2 slice of bread ,a mini pork sausage, a rib and some tomato’s. Barely would call that lunch I asked for more chicken wings as I do not eat pork and was given a rude response all the kids were still hungry. The only girl who assists on the boat is very nice the others need an attitude adjustment!

A trip on the water

pretty average catamaran. it was a good time. the walk down to the beach is down a set of concrete steps that need repair. there is no hand rail. the steps are uneven so if you have bad knees or hips, be careful. Once on the catamaran, it was a good time. the bbq was good

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! The concrete steps and the handrails on the way down to the beach is a government issue. I am glad that you had a good time on the catamaran.

A good way to spend 4 hours

A lot of fun. Music was very loud but not unbearable. Our boat was pretty crowded, probably close to 30 people
