We had an amazing time with Westin as our guide. The boys have never snorkeled before and Westin was really great about helping everyone out and making sure that they were all comfortable with their snorkeling gear. We got to see lots of fish, some stingrays, rainbow parrotfish, manta shrimp, etc. I would highly recommend this snorkeling tour!!
Wes knows this area like the back of his hand. He brought us to all the spots we would never find by ourselves. If you want to get the best experience Phil Foster Park has to offer dont mess around, go with Wes, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for putting an exclamation point on our vacation to Palm Beach.
Westin was excellent, but due to persistent lightning, we couldn't proceed:( Refunds were issued on site, and everything was handled very professionally.
Our snorkeling trip with Westin was the highlight of our vacation! He was easy to schedule with, affordable and super kind. Also he was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and informative about what we were looking at in the water as well as how to use the snorkeling gear. It’s easy to miss some of the fantastic creatures in the water, Westin stopped to show us many of these. He has a strict policy regarding lightning and bad weather in order to keep everyone safe. A few people told us that you do not need to book a snorkeling guide and that you should just go on your own. I HIGHLY disagree. Westin had all the equipment and gave us some helpful tips on usage as well. He took us directly to places where there was a lot of aquatic life. He breaks the trip down into deep water and shallow water. He stopped to point out and teach us about several interesting creatures. Yet he also lets you explore freely. He takes photos and videos and shares them with you after the session. I can’t emphasize just how much of a nice person he is. He was so kind to everyone and very personable. After we all got out of the water and walked back to his vehicle, he brought out waters and a big basket filled with snacks for everyone. I thought that was a very nice touch (especially because you will be starving when you’re done) . We could all tell that Westin absolutely loves what he’s doing and that’s why he’s so good at it. When we go back to Florida, we will book with him again. If you are at all interested in snorkeling in the Palm Beach area, this is the way to go!
Our snorkel experience was great! Westin was on top of communication. We knew where to meet him. He was easy to find. Plus he had all the equipment needed and took time to make sure everyone knew how to use it. He kept our group together. You could tell his first priority was ensuring everyone had a great experience. Highly recommend!
This was a great experience. Westin was incredibly friendly and made the day for us. Highly recommend! You get to see lots and it's not rushed
Had an amazingIf I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! This was hands down one of the highlights of our Florida vacation. We had our family with us, including our 8-year-old son, who is a good swimmer but understandably got pretty tired during the tour. Our guide, Westin, went so far above and beyond that I can't say enough good things about him. He never made us feel rushed, constantly checked on everyone, waited for us to catch up whenever we fell behind, and made sure we didn't miss any of the incredible marine life that was spotted. When he noticed my wife and I were getting worn out trying to help our son while still enjoying the tour ourselves, he actually helped pull our 8-year-old along for part of the trip so we could relax and experience everything too. That level of kindness and customer service is something you just don't see very often. Westin was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything we were seeing, from the different fish and sea life to interesting facts about the area. He was patient, friendly, professional, and made everyone in the group feel comfortable, no matter their experience level. For any parents wondering if they should bring younger kids, I would absolutely recommend it—especially if your child is 8 or older and comfortable swimming. Just know it's a real snorkeling adventure, so they may get tired, but the guides do an amazing job making sure everyone is safe, included, and has an unforgettable experience. We saw so much wildlife, never felt unsafe, and made memories our family will be talking about for years. Westin truly made the experience exceptional. I would recommend this tour—and especially Westin—to every friend, family member, and anyone visiting the area. Thank you for making our family's vacation so special!
WOW! Thank you thank you thank you! This is why I do it! Getting to make memories with folks who love the ocean! What a blessing it is for me to have an opportunity to guide people like you! I can't express myself enough for how thankful I am for this. I hope I get the chance to swim with y'all again someday!
Our snorkel guide Westin was absolutely amazing. He made the whole experience easy, safe and above all FUN! He made sure we knew about parking, where to meet the group, and of course throughout the entire tour he was excellent. He communicated with everyone and made sure we were all comfortable, nothing but pure professionalism and courtesy. High recommend 10/10!!!!!
I always try to follow the rule of five P's, Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Westin was great. He truly cared about making our experience memorable. He has a passion for his job which shined through. He is very knowledgeable about both the sport and sea creatures we saw. I definitely recommend his tour. Thanks Westin!
Thanks Robert! I appreciate you for taking the time to leave a review!
We had such an amazing time on this tour! It is evident that Westin has a passion for this and takes pride in his business. His communication leading up to it was incredible, he had thought through every detail from extra hair ties if needed to snacks and bottled water, etc. He was great with our kids, kept a good pace while checking in on everyone and pointed out things we never would have seen on our own. 10/10 recommend.
It was great getting to know y'all and getting to show you around this wonderful marine world!
