Jason and Kevin were both great. The snorkeling was fun and just the right length of time. The lobster lunch on the island was really good. We paid almost $200 for 4 lobsters and beer/soda so be prepared for that if you are eating. I would highly recommend this trip if you like snorkeling.

Fabulous tour on the Lucky Duck!

Donald_M, Mar 2026
Captain Jason and Damien were first class hosts. We were very pleased with our trip along the coast and a generous stop for snorkeling. Then off to Booby Cay for a delicious lunch.

Have had better experiences.

Rebecca_M, Oct 2025
Guide didn’t speak to us almost the whole trip. No guidance, no information, no interaction… until he thought he might sell us a lobster from the island (which was completely trashed from a party the night before). When he did speak he was nice. But it was a very awkward boat ride out. He didn’t get in the water to guide us through the reef, just gave us gear and pointed to where the reef was and sent us on our way. Then on the way back we got pulled over by the coast guard with AKs and he didn’t have his license on him. At one point during the police inspection my daughter and I legitimately considered jumping ship and swimming back to the resort. We were the only ones on the excursion and didn’t exactly feel comfortable and were questioning our safety. We have been on many snorkeling excursions but this one we cut short. On a positive note, the reef and fish were beautiful. Now maybe the guide was shy and the police inspection was a fluke, but ultimately the experience was not up to par with previous snorkeling excursions.

Booby caye

Fun experience great crew friendly amazing reef. Highly recommend. May book again this week. Excellent captain Jason

A perfect day on the water

Kari_v, Mar 2024
We had such a a great day on the Lucky Duck-- the snorkeling was fantastic and we loved hanging out on Booby Cay afterwards. Captain Jason was a really great guide and he did such a good job of keeping our group together while also making everyone feel comfortable and safe. We noticed he was especially gentle and caring with some of the younger kids on our boat who were a little scared. Perfect day!

Great Excursion

Great way to spend the morning.

We had a great experience on this tour. The boat didn’t end up being glass bottom, but weren’t overly bothered by it. The snorkelling was good. Jason, the captain, was lovely. He made the day so much fun. We did lunch on Booby Cay Island - worth the added cost. Overall, it was a great was to spend half a day.

Amazing experience

Corrine_R, Jun 2023
Captain Jason was awesome we saw 2 sea turtles and a beautiful manta ray! Jason was attentive and made sure that everyone was safe and having a great time!

Best time in the rainy weather ever

Jeff_H, Jun 2023
Jason was the best. Despite the weather he took us and helped us have the best time. It was exactly the snorkeling experience I wanted for my family. We enjoyed our day and would do it all over again!

Great 😃

Annick_D, Mar 2023

Glass bottom snorkel

Tina_S, Mar 2023
Jason was awesome and customized our trip . It was a highlight of our trip to Negril. The snorkeling was great and Jason stayed right with us.

Best Excursion we booked

Jennifer_J, Mar 2023
We had the best day. Captain Jason picked us up on the new h in front of our resort, and we had the best morning snorkeling. He took us to a great spot and guided us out to see so many fish and coral reef. The trip to Booby Cay Island was a great time with friendly locals that cooked us fresh lobster for lunch. The best lobster I have ever had. This was an experience we will always remember and highly recommend!

Really great experience at sea

Luisa_G, Nov 2022
We had the boat only for us, and Cap’n Jason picked us on the beach at 9 am sharp. We were not looking for a fun boat with booze and loud music, just wanted to enjoy the reef and the sea, and Jason was super nice and accommodating. He showed us a great snorkeling spot, guided us, let us snorkel for a longer time and showed us the bay and the coast, telling a lot about the area. We had an amazing time, just what we were looking for. We did not land on Booby Cay as we didn't have lunch and just preferred being at and in the sea, and Jason went along with what we wished. We really appreciated him being concerned and telling us about harmful chemicals for corals in sunscreens, and to all fellas thinking about this experience please check that your lotions are free of Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Benzophenone-1, Benzophenone-8, OD-PABA, 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor, 3-Benzylidene camphor, and Octocrylene. We all go to Jamaica for its marvelous sea and marine creatures. We can enjoy it also by making our best to respect and preserve it. Highly recommended experience! Thanks Jason!

Glass Bottom Boat Ride & Snorkeling & Booby Cay was Fun

Karlos_C, Aug 2022
The boat ride was a great experience. We were picked up from our resort in the bay, and surprisingly, it was just us two and the captain along for the tour. The captain, Jason, was a cool guy, a great guide, and he played music along the ride. The snorkeling experience was amazing. We got to see dozens of species of fish, corals, and even a sunken anchor and canon. The Booby Cay island was also great. They catch spiny lobster (not American or European lobster) and king crab, let you pick which you want and cook it for you for about $40.

Never Again!

Kris_J, Jul 2022
The boat was dirty and we were not impressed with Jason our captain. He was 25 minutes late picking us up and the tour lasted less than 2 hours. I was contemplating asking for 50% of our money back but decided to express dissatisfaction through leaving a review.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Number one, you lying because our boats are clean and in good order. Number two, Jason is a wonderful captain. Also, I text and email the time from 9-9:30am so it means you weren’t checking your messages. Lastly, staying in Sandals and looking for that’s type of service will rethought pay more. Thanks

Not as advertised

Deborah_L, Jun 2022
The tour was not exactly as advertised.!it was shortened in length and there was no glass bottom to view anything. The snorkeling was great, though, so thank you Mother Nature for making this the reason for 3 stars and not 2. I would say you’re better off waiting until you get there to see exactly what you’re paying for and not what you’ve already paid for as there’s dozens of glass bottom boats on shore.

Jason and Mark were awesome and very professional! Safety was a priority for us and we appreciated that! The food on the island was delicious and definitely Jamaican style!

Captain Jason from Lucky Duck Tours was very accommodating and informative. Great snorkeling and glass bottom boat tour!

Best Scuba Diving Tour!!

Veronica_C, Nov 2020
Amazing boat ride with an incredible tour of the reef!! We got to see some amazing sites and learn a lot about Negril and it’s sea-life. Captain Roger is also the best!! 💯 a must do

The boat is room and...

Roxanne_D, Jul 2025
The view was manifique the incredible water it had only yellow fish scratch black. The boats is room and old window in the center is tiny and very room to jam. It's definitely not a glass boat! Or we're going to eat it's so mosquito because it has trees and all the chicken cleaned not well cooked either. The guide was nice he made my son take a ride outside the boat to get this pulled and let my children drive the boat (with supervision) but leaving against the guide makes me a lot in advance and this was uncomfortable especially in front of the children until asking me to kiss him he has a lack of professionalism. I couldn't wait to finish the activity.
