No shipwreck but plenty of fish and some sharks

The snorkeling guide was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the area we covered was relatively small, and there was no shipwreck of any kind, just some debris. However, we saw nurse sharks and a wide variety of fish and a bit of underwater plant life. It was a worthwhile trip. And I plan to buy my own equipment and go snorkeling when I next visit the ocean. So thanks for the introduction to snorkeling.

Operator response

You are correct. It is and artificial shipwreck trail that has a ballast pile, anchor, and cannons along the trail. Thanks for sharing!

A Fantastic Snorkeling Experience from Start to Finish

We had an amazing experience snorkeling today thanks to our guide James! He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared so much educational information throughout the tour and made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and confident in the water at all times. On the way out to the water, we unfortunately had an encounter with someone from another company who was very rude to our group, and our guide, James, handled the situation with total professionalism and calmness. We really appreciated how attentive and respectful he was throughout the entire experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people on his tours. Highly recommend!

Operator response

WOW! That is a great review and I really appreciate you taking the time to call it like you saw it.

Great Experience

James was an awesome guide, very patient and helpful. Took the time to go over the equipment and what to expect while out by the reef. Kept his cool even after having to deal with a very rude and belligerent woman who appeared to be intoxicated at the beginning of the trip. Would do a tour with James again any day. Definitely recommend.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing. Definitely want yo to return so we can earn all 5 stars.

Swim out to reef

James was a great guide. Very thorough explaining the gear and what to expect on the excursion. Pointed out what to look for that we might have not known on our own. He even found us a nurse shark hiding in the coral reef.

Operator response

Nurse shark! Nice find. Thank you for the 5 star review.

Do not book here

My family booked a snorkeling tour over our spring break, and it was canceled without our knowledge. Not knowing this we still showed up and waited for about 30 minutes, we were then greeted by a very rude employee who treated us like we were idiots for thinking we could go snorkeling. Apparently the waves were too high and they called us to cancel but we checked our call history and they completely forgot to call us. This completely ruined our plan for the day and left us horribly dissatisfied and disappointed. Overall it was a terrible experience that I would not recommend.

Operator response

Hello, when the Ocean conditions are rough, then we would not jeopardize your safety. We made several attempts to reach you and we could not get a reply from you despite trying to call your phone number and Texting you. The person on the beach was not our Employee and is actually a Competitor that will play sabotage if they can as they are new to the area and do not underatdnt he importance of respect in the industry. In other words they play dirty and unfortunately that is what led to you thining we were rude when in reality it was not us. They are falsely representing as us in hopes that you will book with another company which would give them a chance to steal customers. We are sad tha this happens and wish you great adventures.

You need to do this

We had an absolute blast! The guide were helpful, kind and attentive. Highly recommend, but book the package with the paddle board- it was a lot to swim for an hour straight. The view was worth it and I would do it again though!

Operator response

Awesome review. Thank you for sharing

Amazing Snorkeling Made Even Better by Our Guide James

We had an incredible snorkel experience, especially as a parent sharing this with my daughter. The highlight was our guide, James, who was knowledgeable, patient, and fantastic with kids. He took the time to explain what we were seeing, made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, and genuinely cared that we all had a great time. This was such a memorable experience for us, and a big part of that was thanks to James. Highly recommend this tour to anyone — especially families!

Operator response

Incredible is a great compliment and we are so glad you had a memorable experience. Thank you!
