Excellent experience! We were a little nervous booking outside of what our resort offered, but i'm so glad we did. This was a much more personalized experience, and our amazing guide, Barracuda, made sure we were safe and enjoyed ourselves. The only bummer was that we didn't get to see much since a storm the previous day had really stirred everything up and the water was a little murky. But overall still a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend!

Snorkling Pidgeon Island St Lucia

Richard_I, Jan 2026

Pick up was on time Guide intodction was straight forward. Trip description wss incorrct, it states that you will walk in water from the shoreside, we were taken on a 2 minute boat ride and had to enter the water from the boat, not a comfortable experience for 1st timers. The 1st half of the snorkling was ok plenty of average fish but nothing spectacualr, then we followed the guide into deeper rougher waters where we didnt see anything, i know there is no guarrtees it was more about the rougher waters for beginners. We were then instructed the board the boat in open water that it harder than it sounds. Didnt think it was value for miney compared to previous trips on the island.

Felt rushed and perhaps not accurately described.

I didn't really rate this activity although the guide was great. We were taken just off shore and the visibility was very poor. The whole thing just seemed really rushed and it didn't feel like we were in the water more than 20 minutes. If I had known we were going so close to the shore, I wouldn't have booked this as I could have easily swum out to where we were.

Excellent experience! We...

Poor visibility but that’s Mother Nature for you - no guarantees

Andrea_L, Mar 2025

Unfortunately the visibility in the water was very poor. We saw nothing. Can’t help Mother Nature but probably trip should have been cancelled due to poor conditions

Great guides

The snorkeling was wonderful. Our guides were great. A little mixup at the start because we were meeting them at Pigeon Island and not being picked up. Their business is right at the end of the water taxi dock, which we did not know. Finally connected and all was good.

Very enthusiastic and...

Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide would definitely recommend friendly staff not necessary to be expert swimmer

I would go again!!!

Alicia_L, Sep 2024

This was the most peaceful experience. The under water fish and water creatures is something that will never be forgotten. It was well with the experience. The crew were extremely patient and took their time to make sure this was a great experience even for someone that could not swim.

Great Tour Exploring Marine Life!

Charles_L, Jun 2024

We had a great experience. Benaih aka the Barracuda took us out and did a great job showing cool spots in the reefs and the wildlife. It was a fun time and we were out in the water for 50+ minutes. Thought it was well worth the trip. Pigeon Island itself was also a beautiful area. Would recommend!

Sea life abound

MArk_W, Jan 2024

Barracuda was an excellent guide for snorkeling. He located a range and variety of fish and sea life.

Best snorkeliing session EVER

naomi_d, Aug 2023

We had a wonderful company, we had a snorkeling session with a a great instructor, not only was it one of the most interesting experiences me and my 17yr old daughter have had, we also learnt so much about the local seal life, the safety session was clear and it was a lot of fun to go out into the sea and we will most definitely return to do the snorkeling and also to try the Sea trek experience as these are must do activities whilst on the islands Thanks you for a great day out.
