Lovely subtle tour - Was good, we seen a few dolphins and two turtles, plenty of state fishes. Prompted my kid to want to do snorkeling but I didn’t feel to.

Recommend for family and older folks. Fun & Relaxing. - Boat has restroom, shadded area, and it's a nice tour to sit relax and rest your feet while enjoying a peaceful boat ride. I took my 66 year old mother who needed a break from activities and she loved it. We saw spinning dolphins, fish, and turtles. Guides were nice and informative. They also had cold water available. Recommend this tour.

Glass Bottom Boat Tour - worth the money. - It was a great value for the money. The guides were knowledgeable and shared information about the wildlife and the area in general. Just being out on the water was a great experience.

Reef view from on top of the water - NOT exactly glass bottom boats, should be listed as Glass window viewing from the deck (about 7’ away). Many were confused with this. However, just getting on the water was nice and the captan shared history of most everything we saw while out there. Worth the money I believe but I think they should re market this experience as a short small boat experience with views of the reef from a safe standing observation spot.
