Cassie our guide was wonderful! She was patient with my never before on a paddle board. I’m sold on the paddle board now. The snorkeling was awesome, she guided us to the best places and then let us experience the treasures of the ocean under her watchful eye. I highly recommend this trip and Cassie as our guide!

Snorkel

Ashley_K, Jun 2026

James was great!!!! Attentive and educational. Made us feel comfortable and would do it again! We were able to see sharks, stingrays and a bunch of other cool fish.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

That's why we call him Snorkel James. Thank you for sharing!

Snorkeling Fun

Rena_S, Jun 2026

This is a fun trip that was just right for our family. Guides were great! They had everything ready to go and were quite helpful.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We greatly enjoying having your family and appreciate the positive feedback!

James and Paula were great!

Megan_C, Jun 2026

The tour guides, James and Paula, were great! They explained the equipment and rules clearly. Paula was literally the best. She took us on the paddleboards to the reef. I unfortunatley got sick while snorkeling and had to go back to shore. But Paula ensured that my son can continue on. PSA: If you get motion sick, take your dramamine before going out! Especially when the water is bumpier than usual.

Great review! Thank you so much for sharing

Great to see the variety...

KathleenMaguire, Feb 2026

Great to see the variety of animals in their natural habitat. The best way to see them is to free float or dive down for a closer look.

Wonderful Review! Thanis you so much for sharing!

Wonderful experience!

Julie_H, Feb 2024

Camilla was awesome! It was also great to do a combo of paddle boarding and snorkeling - when I got a bit chilly or tired, I could lay face down on the board (leaving my mask and snorkel on) and just watch the underwater world below me while I drifted along...

Response from Host, Mar 2024

She is so friendly and wanting everyone to enjoy. Thanks for sharing!

My guide Jason was...

Colina_M, Feb 2023

My guide Jason was excellent. Very helpful and pointed out many neat fish I would have easily missed. Gave a short lesson on The SUP before we went out. All round very good experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

So glad you got to see cool fish and had a great experience.

Interested in providing the best possible experience

Karen_C, Mar 2020

Although I ended up having to cancel my paddle & snotkle tour, I appreciated that this company called once to suggest an earlier time (for best experience), and called me again the day before my tour, to tell me that the weather forecast was for a windy weather day that might not be conducive to a good experience, and offered to move my tour to the following day, if I wanted and my schedule allowed (which forecast a perfect snorkel day), and even offered a discounted price for my cousin, who was joining me in Ft Lauderdale that day. Unfortunately my schedule didn't allow me time that following day, but I found their interest in making sure I had the best possible experience commendable. They willingly returned my payment.
