The best part was the personnel - Capt. Robert, Beecher and Jorgie were all amazing. They made sure that everyone was having a great time. We had time to snorkel, star fish beach and swim with sting rays. This was a great tour for my elderly mom. We were a group of 10 (1 child) so we opted to book this tour off of VIATOR.
