Designed for cruisers,... - Designed for cruisers, it's a good trip to book when the whether is nice. The taxi boat can be a bit bumpy so if you have sea sickness, best to take some medication prior.

Excellent tour! - Excellent tour! Tour guides were awesome and funny. The boats were amazing and super fast/fun. The kids especially our 3yo loved it! We didn't get to Signal Island due to wind but went to another island instead it was quiet and peaceful. Lots of swimming and beautiful blue ocean

Amazing day trip to Signal Island - This was a fabulous trip to a gorgeous island. Dalocean were easy to find once we left our cruise ship and were very organised and friendly. Everything on offer was as advertised. We arrived at Signal Island on a beautiful sunny day and enjoyed the snorkeling off the beach. I would recommend bringing your own flippers or sand/beach shoes. We visited the grocery store before we left as there is nothing to purchase once you get there. We would definitely go again.

Fun time - It was a fun experience! Even tho it’s not really much of a tour, they hand you a map and take you to the island and then you all do your own thing until it’s. time to leave! I still really enjoyed it as we got to see turtles!

Great snorkling but No turtles - Due to weather conditions we went to a different island that was lovely and we enjoyed snorkling but saw no turtles. Only a couple of the island visitors saw a turtle. There is no guide on the island giving info on the turtles possible locations.
