Stories, Reefs, Fish and Dolphins. Helping people with their sea sickness.. getting water or ginger ale..

Dolfin breaching was a good surprise... That also meant we spent more time chasing dolfins instead of Corals and other fish. But all good.

on time, great tour, enjoyed the view thru the glass windows, a little too much verbal review by the host person

MariannS967

As lovely as it was to be able to see through the panes in the bottom of the boat, the best part of the tour was Brittney, the host, or emcee, or tour guide -- whatever you want to call her. She was SO knowledgeable, as well as skilled at moving from topic to topic as the sea life did their thing. She was terrific! And the reason to take this tour!

This was a charming tour of the reef with some great views of fish, a few eels, and puffer fish! It’s perfect for those with little ones (we had a 3 and 1 yr old) and they are super informative about all the fish. They provide ginger ale, a ginger candy (if you feel queasy), and it’s nice to be in shade. Great little way to see beautiful fish and get a little education!

Our tour guide, Eden was fun and passionate about FISH! Check in was easy, everything was right on schedule . Everyone on the tour had a seat with great viewing . I did get a little sea sick , staring down too long gets you!

It was very interesting to find out that the maker of the boat was the father of one of the guides and he made it himself. The boat was lovely. The captain and all the crew were wonderful. They were very knowledgeable about the reefs and the fish and it was very beautiful unique experience.

We got a glimpse of dolphins, and the fish were nice. Hoped to see a lot more. It was ok. If I had kids it would have been good for them but as adults we were not overly impressed.

Mark_S

Boat was awesome! Staff was better!! What a great experience highly recommend it lots to see down there

Bobbi_S

We did not see hardly anything. The trip was only 45min long and you didn’t go very far from where you ported. Save your money.
