Crew names vary, with CJ, Daniel, Akil, and others often leading trips.

“This trip was at first very surprising. The boat we were put on was a small fishing boat that only fishermen should have used and not really for high end tour guest. CJ and Akeel did a splended job of handling the boat and making it a great experience. Shame on the owner for how he put our group of Black Professionals and Retirees on that boat while his White guest were on the bigger actual catamaran boat. The worst thing about the fishing boat was there was a aweful toilet experience where there was not even a toilet but instead a small galley hole that one stepped into, having…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 87 reviews · from $52

Snorkel gear, one welcome drink, a chair, shared umbrella, showers, and some hotel transfers are included. Ask about pickup when booking, since coastal coverage and shuttle arrangements matter.

“We specifically requested to be picked up at the cruise port and were given a specific time to meet the tour rep. No one showed up to take us to the Glass Bottom Boat Shipwreck Adventure and Beach Day. As a result we missed the adventure and were told by the Glory Tour Staff that the next departure was sold out. This was a $70. disaster as we did not have the cash with us to hire a taxi. Hopefully, Viator will refund our money. M. Smith”
