Wonderful experience, great service from the crew members, especially Scott who was just very accommodating and making sure everyone was ok. Food was good too, and they accommodate dietary restrictions. If your main wish is to snorkel, please be aware that the snorkel session is rather short. Definitely recommend this trip!

This was really lovely. My first time snorkeling and I loved it! I went as a solo traveller. The guides were friendly, we snorkeled 3times, had a nice swim near the island, the food was also very lovely and I would definitely go again...

We had a really fun day filled with sun, beautiful views, and amazing food. Personal highlight was the snorkeling stop and seeing all of the colorful fishes

Excellent experience onboard the cruise. The family & especially the kids got to relax & enjoy the whole day.

Delphine, Schnorcheln, gute Stimmung und Essen, sehr freundliche Skipper: alles sehr gut!
