Summary: Booked last minute (night before cruise ship arrived to Dominica). Tiffany met me and my sister at the dock. She was very well organized and professional. Captain Jeff and Masai (spell?) were great! Took the tour in mid-October, shoulder season, so it was only 4 of us on the boat - so it almost felt like a private snorkeling excursion. They helped us see sea turtles, champagne reef, Scotts head, sunken cannon. Dominica is stunningly beautiful. Also spent about 30-45 min at bubble beach. Bubble beach isn’t fancy and didn’t have the resort feel that some tourist might want. But it was relaxing and the water really was warm. We did have to tip the bubble beach owner/operator a little bit to be there and use the chairs. We did $10 total and he was fine with that. I’d definitely recommend this excursion!

Summary: We booked the afternoon departure in late September (low season) and were the only guests! I was afraid they would cancel but no, just incredible service! Tiffany met us at the scheduled time to make sure the boat and crew were set. Captain Jeff and Captain Mikael (sorry for the spelling) were wonderful hosts pointing out shoreline spots on the ride to Champagne Reef. Mikael got in the water with us and dove down to point out beautiful sea creatures, the bubbles from the thermal vents, and colonial cannons. Next boated on toward Scott's Head. Saw where the Carribean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. It was a bit rough so we steered into a cove and snorkeled again. We ended by docking and walking to nearby Bubble Beach for a small donation to the private owner. The bath was torn up a bit by weather, but the warm water still came up in the shallows. Snorkel gear was top notch as was the boat, Tiffany's Rum Punch and other refreshments. Bring water shoes, a towel, some cash, and SPF.

Summary: Captain Jeff” was the best tour guide EVER. Best snorkeling excursion too. What a fun day in Dominica…we did a cruise and he picked us up and dropped us off at the ship. BEST DAY/EXCURSION EVER. Snorkel excursion with 2 other couples we’d never met but had a blast with. Small, intimate excursion with “Captain Jeff” and wish could remember his partners name, was so awesome. He got into the water with us at Champagne Reef and called out all the fishes and pointed to everything under us. He made sure we felt the different water temperatures of the “champage bubbles”. We got into the water and his partner took the boat down current so we didn’t have to swim and fight against the ocean current to get back in the boat. FIRST SNORKEL TOUR TO EVER DO THIS. You are not tired from fighting currents to get back to boat. Wish everyone did this. Then he allowed the 3 couples to decide what we wanted to do. We all 100% agreed to the “bubble beach spa” where the volcanic activity creates a hot tub in the ocean. Unbelievable. Great tour. Great tour operator. 1000% recommend this. This is me asking..not the tour. Please bring enough money to treat them right with gratuity. Wish we had more cash on us…everyone emptied thier wallets to makes sure we showed our appreciation.
