Even seasoned travelers who've done dozens of similar tours say this ranks among their very best experiences. The laid-back vibe combined with clear safety instructions and genuine care for each passenger makes this an easy recommendation for couples and families alike.
Fabulous crew. Always made sure you were comfortable or had what you needed. Super friendly and personable. Good music. Good food. Only issue I had was with the mouth piece for the snorkel. It was torn. Bring your own if you have it or if you’re a germaphobe like me. It’s sanitized of course, I’m just overly cautious. Be prepared for a bumpy, wet ride out to the reef. The way back is much more calm.
