Meeting place for the tour was easy and convenient to our cruise ship. Boat was in good shape and only one other family with us so the tour group was small. Glass-bottom tour of the shipwreck was interesting, and first mate’s description of the shipwreck and wildlife was solid. Our captain was okay. He gave some info on the way out but seemed disinterested. His teasing of some of the other passengers was a little too much at times (e.g. the teen daughter from the other family was struggling with snorkel equipment and the captain’s comment was “Well, at least she’s pretty.”). Snorkeling was nothing special and the description a bit misleading, as you are not exploring near the shipwreck and are not anchoring in 3 feet of water. The snorkeling area was private which was good, but it’s private because there is nothing to see - nothing more than some rocks and sand, so manage expectations on that (snorkeling in Bermuda is nothing like snorkeling in the Caribbean). Probably the most “fun” thing was they did let people jump off the top of the boat when anchored, the kids really enjoyed that but that was not advertised so YMMV. No mention of drinks or rum swizzle to purchase on the way back. Overall, the tour was fine. Manage expectations on the snorkeling, and just hope you get one of the other better captains mentioned by other reviewers.

The captain was informative and fun, the snorkeling was easy even for a novice, and the view from the glass bottom boat was gorgeous.

Friendly guide’s Jesse and Captain Sinclair showed us around the islands and gave a great commentary. Snorkelling was brilliant, clear waters and even saw a turtle on the way back.

Captain Sinclair and Deckhand Jesse were amazing! First day we were supposed to go out a terrible storm hit and Captain Sinclair felt it was better to go back in. We went out the following day and it was one of the best trips. Captain Sinclair and Jesse are a wealth of island and sea knowledge! We learned the history of the island, the Bermuda triangle and we had great snorkeling! We will be returning!!

Caption St Claire was amazing with instructing and telling us about the history of Bermuda and how things operate today
Katey_B, Jul 2025
Great trip! Captain Kirk and Jesse were great. Rum swizzles were perfect. Snorkeling was so much fun. Would recommend and do the trip again!
Donna_M, Jul 2025
This trip exceeded all our expectations. We had a party of 9 and somehow ended up with our own private tour which was awesome. The crew were amazing and full of so much knowledge about the island. We had a wonderful tour of the water and then floated around the shipwreck a bit before heading off to snorkel. The snorkeling location was perfect and we had plenty of time to swim. We did have one elderly person with us using a cane, she was able to move around the boat and use the stairs easily. Definitely worth everything penny. Bring cash for the amazing Swizzle drinks after snorkeling🍸!!

This was a fun relaxing family friendly excursion. We enjoyed the boat tour, before spending about a hour swimming
Diane_C, Aug 2024
We highly recommend! It was a perfect day! The route was beautiful and the snorkeling spot was exceptional. We learned so much about the islands history too!
Leslie_C, Aug 2024
Tour guides Sinclair and Slim were great! They provided us with information about history of Bermuda and were friendly and helpful. The glass bottom boat and snorkeling were wonderful
Ashleigh_G, Jul 2024
Super informative, funny & guest interactive! My one daughter was a little apprehensive but he helped her feel more comfortable! Beautiful boat ride, wish we had a little more time in the actual water

We were unable to go because of illness. Is there any way to get a refund or part of a refund? My daughter, mother of my grandchildren, was sick.
Mary_S, Jul 2024
Not their fault but water was too rough to go in. My friend who has a bad knee would not be able to do the ladder to get back on the boat. There weren’t many fish to see and the coral not that colorful but of course this was Bermuda and not the Caribbean.
Jennifer_S, Jun 2024
Excellent excursion in Bermuda! Snorkels, masks, fins, noodles, and vests all provided. Captain and assistant were very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. Lots of fun - definitely recommend!
Karyn_M, May 2024
An amazing time had with Jesse and Saint Clair. Thank you for still taking out the boat even though there was a small group. Given that it was Bermuda day, the fact that you worked was greatly appreciated thank you!

Adrian was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable of the island and it's rich history and of the coral reefs. The boat was clean and well maintained. The whole crew was polite and helpful. It was March, water was cold but we had ample time for snorkeling. The equipment provided was clean and of good quality. Bermuda is a beautiful island with so much to see. I would definitely recommend this tour for all ages. Meeting point within walking distance of cruise ship dockyard. Very convenient.
Andrea_H, Oct 2023
Great time out. Learned a lot about Bermuda and fun snorkeling Glass bottom boat was great for viewing and enjoying seeing the ship wreck
Joan_B, Sep 2023
Jess and John were the Best! We had some rough seas, but John maneuvered the ship so that we had good views of the reefs and the sunken ship Vinson!! Jess gave a great history of the sights we saw on the way out to the reefs. Highly recommend this tour and crew. Assisted snorkeler thar was having difficulty, Kept snorkels safe and happy! Excellent Rum Swizzle, best and most reasonable on island we had!♡♡♡
Lucille_V, Aug 2023
Captain Sinclair and Jess gave us the most amazing experience! While driving out to the viewing spots, Captain Sinclair have pointed out points of interest and gave us great information on everything we saw. Snorkeling was fun-they helped with the gear and felt very safe throughout the experience. We enjoyed Jess’s rum swizzles- she is a real sweetheart. This excursion was the highlight of our cruise! Highly, highly recommend!!
Louis_D, Aug 2023
Absolutely fantastic! Traveled with a family of 8, including grandparents and 4 young adult kids. Got a little history, some humor, snorkeling, and an octopus all in 3 hours. 5 stars, absolutely would recommend it!
Brenda_D, Aug 2023
Phenomenal Captain Sinclair and first mate Maury! Beautiful ride, and lovely snorkeling! Slightly tough seas.
Brandy_S, Jul 2023
Best time!! Captain Kirk and Jess were phenomenal. Great time and highly recommend. Snorkeling was perfect and the rum swizzles were delish.
Christine_G, Jul 2023
I would absolutely recommend this glass bottom boat tour with snorkelling. Captain Kirk and Jess did a fantastic job narrating the history of the island as well as explain what we found underneath the boat. They were funny and friendly. Plus, you can't beat their price for rum swizzle!
Linda_W, Aug 2022
Ryan and the captain were two of the most incredible guides and their hospitality was so nice. The boat ride was so enjoyable and the snorkeling was AMAZING! Perfect afternoon had by all.
Daniel_T, Aug 2022
The captain and mate were excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable. A good value for the money, but the snorkeling was not good. It didn’t appear to be a bad weather day (a bit breezy, but isn’t that typical?). Nevertheless. due to the “weather”, we went snorkeling in a protected cove without any reef. A pretty spot, but you can float in pretty spots most anywhere in this beautiful place. I wish the crew had communicated this (I had to ask if this was their usual spot) and had a better “plan B”.
Susan_M, Jul 2022
The guides were great, very knowledgeable and helpful. But, the description said we would anchor in 3 feet of water and be able to walk to shore or snorkel. We anchored in deep water. The description also said there was a slide off the back of the boat and there was not.
Ronald_A, Jul 2022
Great boat ride and tour of the coastline. Captain and mate were fantastic. I would highly recommend those guys to new visitors.
FRANCES_D, Jul 2019
The entire crew made this excursion very interesting and fun at the same time. Our captain, was great! She made sure everyone was safe and stayed that way. The information the crew shared about the ship wreck, the different fish and different areas of Bermuda was great. We had more than enough time in water snorkeling or just floating around. I recommend to any one who likes the water to try this excursion.
