Great tour

It was the highlight of our trip! There were so many fish with so many amazing colors and they were inches away. The history we learned was also great. Even saw about 10 dolphins swimming near the boat as we docked.

Captain Jen was great!

Jen was a fantastic captain and made sure we had a great day on the water and gave us tips on where to swim to get the most out of our snorkeling. She also took a lot of time to show us different landmarks along the way.

Great tour reef not so great
BaronFoer
, Sep 2018
The captain and the ride were great. She took good care of us and we certainly enjoyed the day on the boat. However the reef off of Captain Cooks monument was pretty much worn out probably between the number of people and the surf action it was pretty much dead and not really colorful. The best part of the trip was the boatride and the Captains information on points of interest. The boat was at our beck and call and we could get back whenever we wanted, she watched for our return and had drinks ready for us.
