“Our originally booking was cancelled due to not enough people that was disappointing. Because we had gone to Stingray City and Starfish Point, we specifically booked this one to go to different snorkeling places. Luckily, we were able to go the next day instead. Wow, we loved it more than our first similar tour from another company. There were more (groups) of fish just right next to the boat at the snorkeling places and we saw two sea turtles too.

Hotel and cruise-port transfers, gear, and drinks are included, though weather and sea conditions can change the plan.

“This was sold as a pickup at cruise ship. NOT TRUE. You have to find them. We had bought tickets for an 11:30am departure. When we found the desk (which took some doing) they told us we are departing at noon. We were concerned about getting back in time. At 12:15 we still hadn't left. Passengers from other cruise ships were still gathering. When we got on busses there was barely enough seats. The experience once on board was good but the boat was small. It was a windy day so the seas were rough. When we got to the stingray site there were tons of boats. Many larger than…”
