    This tour was the highlight of our cruise. We'll organized and the meeting instructions were easy to follow. The island was wonderful with a coral reef right off the beach. We saw several sea turtles and lots of fish. We even saw a couple of coral snakes. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone

    Boat ride was rough, my teenagers loved it but a small toddler behind us screamed the whole.way (half hour rife one way, poor thing). Definitely need to take food, drinks and toilet paper. Saw a few small turtles at start of day and bigger ones near the wharf at end of day. Driver was lovely, everything ran on time

    It was a well organised tour, the price was also reasonable. We saw plenty of turtles and the beach was awesome. We had a good time for sure.

    A little disappointing. We always look for small group tours. This one is described as having a max of 15 passengers. In fact, there were approximately 80 of us. We spent a lot of time standing around waiting for the tour to start. Then we were led to another spot near some boats where we were instructed to sit along a concrete wall. We waited some more while our leader took a lot of time to organize us into smaller groups for the ride to Signal Island. As luck would have it, we were in the very last group called. It was a lot of waiting before our group ever got called. The ride to the island was long and VERY rough. Fortunately we aren't bothered by sea sickness. If this is a problem for you, or if you have back problems, I strongly advise against taking this ride. The island was lovely but had very little shade. The few shady spots that were available had been claimed long before we ever arrived. And you'll want shade -- the sun is very intense. The snorkeling was OK. We saw one turtle. The water was kind of murky. On the other side of the island the water was much clearer, but there was no coral and therefore no sea life to observe. Amenities were very limited. We brought our own water, none was provided. There were just a few noodles for many people to share and they were pretty well worn.

    Great time, lots of green turtles and a couple loggerheads. The island is absolutely beautiful and worth the trip even if you don’t snorkel.
