This trip was perfect. Absolutely brilliant. The boat was clean, the captain and his daughter were great hosts, and with a very good sense of humour. We went to three stunning locations and had the right amount time at each. If you want to see the highlights of Tortola in one day - this is the trip.

What a perfect day! The catamaran was perfect, and I loved our all-woman crew! Flo as captain was delightful as was her first mate Lady (sp). The four snorkel stops were perfectly timed, lunch was delicious and healthy (no easy feat!), and the ride was chill and fun. Can’t recommend this enough

Elvis was amazing! This tour is an amazing value. The transportation is in an air conditioned new(er) van. Its a nice mix of shopping, sight seeing and then of course a visit to the beautiful Megan's Bay. Highly recommend this and will be back, thanks!!

Danny boy was an amazing guide!! Took us to fantastic spots and played good jams!! Such a fun boat trip, so glad we booked with him!

The big tuna was great really nice guy. The crew was great too had so much fun.
