“If you are looking to spend a day exploring St. Maarten, seeing some incredible fish, meeting very friendly guides/captains/first mates, then this is the right trip for you.

Review of Los Cabos luxury sailing, snorkeling, lunch, open bar, hotel pickup, snorkeling conditions, costs, and practical booking tips.
“Absolute scam. I booked a boat trip through Viator for 12pm. Unfortunately, flights changed, and we changed the reservations to 3pm. We showed up for our tour, and Cabos Adventures told us that our trip was sold out and they refused to help us find another boat trip. They also refused to send a formal email confirming that they cancelled our trip to help us get our money back. Absolutely disrespectful. I don’t recommend anyone come to this tour company.”

Review of Santorini’s 5-hour Gold Catamaran Cruise, with swimming, snorkeling, hot springs, BBQ, open bar, hotel pickup, and sunset views.
“Great activity to end our trip in Santorini. The team was helpful and dedicated to make it a unique experience for us. We went in the water 3 times. We saw fish twice with the snorkelling gear they provided and went into the hot spring volcanic water. The views from the boat are incredible. After experiencing the afternoon and sunset, you legit start wondering why this isn’t your permanent lifestyle. The food offered was also tasty and the portions were generous. An easy 5-star. I highly recommend!”

Complimentary rum punch and Bbq on a private island was amazing. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nassau!!”

Kayak, snorkel, explore caves, and cliff jump on an active Costa Brava day trip from Barcelona with lunch and transport.
“We had a great time kayaking, snorkeling and cliff jumping in Costa Brava! Our guide, Matt, was fantastic and brought a ton of fun to the trip.

Review of the Isla Mujeres catamaran cruise from Cancun, with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, beach time, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“It was a good experience; however, it felt very short. Snorkeling took us only 20 minutes, and the team didn't allow us to use biodegradable sunscreen even though the instructions said we could do it. Long check-in process. Good, but there is room for improvement.”
Review of Hang Loose Boat Tours’ Captain Cook snorkel trip, with dolphin sightings, reef fish, lunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“By far the best snorkel boat tour I have ever experienced! The snorkel spot was really amazing and we spent a good amount of time there. The boat staff were so much fun! Jumping off the boat and going down the slide with us! They really had a great vibe. We were excited to hopefully see whales while we were out and captain aiden and staff made every effort to make it happen. We did see some from a distance. Then got word of dolphins in the area so went to see them. Our tour ran a little over on time because the crew made sure we saw the extras,…”
Hurghada speedboat tour with dolphin watching, Red Sea snorkeling, island time, lunch, and optional parasailing for $40.
“Everything was great! It went smoothly as well! We booked just one hour before pickup, and it still worked out perfectly – respect to the organization for that! Amazing captains, amazing guide. They were respectful of the animals. We were able to observe the dolphins from the boat, and later we went snorkeling without disturbing them in their natural habitat. And simply a beautiful view! They also made sure everyone on board was well taken care of! There were food, drinks, and snacks available for everyone. There was also a full set of snorkeling equipment available. Even those who were unsure or uncomfortable in the water were given a life…”

Explore Nusa Penida by fast boat, snorkel with manta rays and turtles, enjoy lunch by an infinity pool, and visit Kelingking Cliff.
“Amazing tour — everything was absolutely perfect! The tour was very well organized with fantastic snorkeling: clear water, beautiful reefs, and plenty of marine life. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions we didn’t get to see the manta rays, but it didn’t disappoint us at all — we saw 7–8 turtles while snorkeling, which was absolutely incredible! We were very happy and truly satisfied with the experience. The restaurant was another highlight — the best view and delicious food, easily one of the most memorable lunches we had in Bali. The crew was amazing: friendly, professional, attentive, and always ready to help. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and very welcoming.…”
