    Very very choppy, staff great food ok but be prepared for a choppy choppy ride.

    Superb day out. Highly professional team. Supportive environment for all levels of swimming and snorkeling. Small group of max 29 guests so it’s a no brainer to choose this experience over the larger vessels which hold hundreds of guests. Will definitely be back. PS We even saw Nemo!!

    Great sailing experience but disappointed with the snorkeling. We didn't stay in the water very long and the crew was overly cautious making us hold on to the life ring.
