“This was the second year in a row we did this excursion. It does not disappoint! The crew is outstanding; they take good care of you on board. We were a group of 6 and there were about 25 total passengers. The boat is large and there are plenty of places to relax and enjoy a drink. The snorkeling was great! It was a different location from last year, and we saw a huge variety of tropical fish. My mom thought the swim back to the boat was a little challenging, but she did it. The lunch was awesome. I really enjoyed the chicken and veggie skewers and the pasta…”
