Summary:
We are a couple who took the morning 3 hour snorkeling tour from the Cruise Port. It was so easy to just walk over and get on the tour boat from the tendering area.
The pontoon is new, very comfortable with 2 decks and kept in immaculate condition. Many areas of shade also! There were only about 8 of us so we got a great head start to the stingray area and it felt very private.
There is a driver and guide who got in the water with us. First stop was stingrays and we had plenty of time in the water before the bigger and more crowded boats arrived!
Next stop turtle viewing and finally about 45 minutes to a private are for beautiful reef snorkeling. Soft drinks and fantastic music provided! Just bring a towel and sunscreen. I highly recommend this tour. The guides are professional and very kind. Great sense of humour also !
