★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,683 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $115Top rated

Guides such as Mary, Micah, Katie, and Anthony lead the activities, explain local wildlife, and help first-time snorkelers. Afternoon trips may include sunset, beer, wine, snacks, and soft drinks.

“anthony was a great deckhand . the way they handle the kayaks is a bit unwieldy. you have to wait while they load and unload. and with 20 ppl on board we were pushed around in small quarters. smaller groups would be easier on the boat. Laura doesn’t give the. best service. Did her entire education about the snorkel group where half of us could not here.”
