Our family came for a fantastic make a wish trip and our little guy got a bit of motion sickness. Our guide was kind and gave us some snacks and water. He was very patient seeing as our son was only 7 he made the experience fun and recommended a great local place to eat. Great time and great experience thank you!

Our guide "Jake from State Farm" made it a truly memorable experience. Being that it was the first time several of us had snorkeled, we were glad he was patient and thorough. Nature did her thing, clear, warm waters and plenty of turtles and sea life to look at. I would absolutely recommend.

our guide was fantastic - i never really dug snorkeling, and i mentioned that. He took extra time with me and explained best ways to use snorkel. They also made a GREAT suggestion to show up to an earlier time because afternoon kayaking can be windy and sometimes less to see when snorkeling. Best kayak and snorkeling i've ever done! Our guide, John, was funny, educational and super fun!
