The staff was so fun and professional - they told us about all the parts of the island we were passing, were attentive to all our needs with food, beverages, towels, moving about the boat, delicious lunch preparation, snorkeling gear, etc. Because we had a private tour, our captain was able to take us further to an island with crystal clear waters where we snorkeled and had a quiet and more private experience. We highly recommend this excursion!”
