Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Would definitely do it again. Kids were kept busy the whole day (they had a blast and haven't stopped talking about it) and the food was great!

Such a cool experience! I've only ever been snorkelling a few times overseas, but wow it was a whole other experience here, it was just beautiful. Didn't want to get out of the water. Highly recommend this boat tour
