Loki and Josh were incredible guides. They were funny, engaging, and knowledgeable about the island and the sea life. Even when we weren’t at a scheduled stop, when we saw something cool they would stop and encourage us to get in to get a closer look! We saw seahorses, manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and 3 different types of rays! The ladies at the front desk were also extremely sweet and asking my wife all kinds of questions about her pregnancy and making guesses about the gender! Would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking for a chill way to cross checking out the reef on your bucket list!

No complaints! Josh and Captain Phillip were the perfect guides; enthused and very helpful. Captain P also had thee best stories and made sure we saw plenty of sea life.

Excellent. Our guide was very helpful and kind and got us to some great spots for observing beautiful fish, manatee, sting rays and sharks.

saw manatees, eels, eagle rays, loads of sharks. guides were very nice. food was 10/10. highly recommended

Loved that we got to go to different sites and see so many different species within the reef ecosystem!
