Superb family snorkelling trip - The trip was excellent value, especially as we picked a quiet day so we had the boat to ourselves! The snorkelling at Anse Cochon was fantastic, we saw a wide variety of fish and other sea creatures. The crew were extremely knowledgeable and showed us the best places to swim. They looked after us very well, both on and off the boat. The equipment provided was clean and of a good standard. During our trip, the heavens opened and we experienced snorkelling in torrential rain. The fish didn't care and the sea was wonderfully warm! It did mean our return to Marigot Bay was a little rushed but we huddled undercover on the boat and enjoyed chicken and rice for lunch. The rain continued after we landed. The roads were pretty treacherous and we were glad to be returned safely back to our hotel.

Incredible - Dylan and Andre were so wonderful! They were informative and relaxed and the food Andre’s wife prepared was the best food we’ve had on our vacation so far. It was a very lovely way to celebrate my birthday and cannot thank them enough for such a beautiful day. Not only was the scenery breathtaking but to get to know locals that have such a passion for the island and what they do leaves an imprint on your heart and makes the experience that much more special. Thank you guys so much!

If you get one option visiting St. Lucia choose this. You will thank me after. - The staff was knowledgeable and kind, the atmosphere was spectacular and the experience is one I will never forget. We took a short ride out to Anse Cochon reefs. After we jumped in I was shocked at the amount of wildlife just lazily swimming around us. We got to swim through a school of probably 3000 sardines, we spotted a pair of Lionfish, octopuses and a very rare Eagle Ray, all the while the guides kept near us and when we had a question, would pop up and tell us what we were seeing. No underwater photos but I have included a photo of our dive spot. Look up Anse Cochon Reef images if you want the idea. The images aren’t exaggerating. If I could only do one thing coming back to St. Lucia, this would be it!

Highly recommend! - The Captain and guides were all friendly and knowledgable. The snorkeling spots were beautiful, the variety of fish and coral were amazing, the lunch was local and fantastic. We snorkled in several spots for hours. This was an amazing bargain for what we paid. Highly recommend!

Great guide, great snorkeling and great food! - The snorkeling in St Lucia is excellent! The boat was comfortable, water was spectacular, and the corals and fish were fun to see. The leader was really good at spotting and pointing out features and creatures. Really helpful. The guide's wife even cooked a wonderful lunch for the ride back to port.

Fantastic Snorkeling Trip - Fantastic snorkeling trip! We had 2 families with 4 adults and 4 kids ages 12-14. Crew was super knowledgeable and helpful. They kept a close eye on us from the boat and water. We stopped at 2 places and saw many different kinds of fish, corral, etc. Boat was big enough to easily move around. They provided life vests for less experienced swimmers (and adults who wanted to float lazily in the water!) At the second stop, the boat could not anchor so they had to keep moving around. We had about a 50 yard swim to the boat at its furthest point, so make sure younger kids either have the life vest or are strong swimmers. Lunch was delicious - chicken, rice, noodles and beans. Elvis picked us up from our hotel and was a great driver. Just keep in mind that it can take 45 min+ to get from the north part of the island to Marigot Bay due to traffic. We had our pick up around 8:15am and returned back to the hotel around 3:30pm. Highly recommend Dive Fair Helen!!

Nice tour. Once was enough though. - Adventure started out rough. Booked the tour and got the receipt. Sent a couple unanswered follow up questions about how to get to their detached dive shop like in the instructions. We lodged within eye sight of the shop so thought we could figure it out. The morning we walked down to the board walk to look for the ferry over to the dive shop. A man, not wearing anything that said Dive Fair Helen " came up to us and asked if we were going snorkeling? For some reason I affirmed this question and he said to come with him he will take us and will be out guide. Well alarm bells are ringing my head if you know anything about the island outside of a resort and how helpful people want to be for some money. He told us to wait at a table and he'd be back with paperwork. The paper had nothing on it that said Dive Fair Helen and I still didn't know how we were getting to the dive shop like booking said to. I called the phone number DFH a couple times and no one answered. Finally asked a waitress in the dock restaurant about where the ferry was over to the dive shop and she told me the boat was parked on this side of bay and told me where I could go see it. We did and the boat said Dive Fair Helen. This was somewhat comforting and mind you we were the only ones there for 30+ minutes and time we were to be at dive shop was now. Shortly after 2 other couple groups that were taxied in from other locations came into the restaurant area and said they were there for the snorkeling. This made me feel better. After this the tour went well. The guy that initially approached us was actually the guide and did a good job. The food was on par for St Lucia and a nice snack, dont expect a meal. The dive sites were 2 reefs along the coast. One had a bunch of tiny jellyfish that bit the whole group and we were only at that site 5 min. They don't have first-aid cream or vinegar on boat so be ready. The stings mostly were gone by time tour was over. Am I glad we did it, yes. Would I do it again, No. Communication was non existent and the confusion starting the day was not helpful. Signs and/or shirts identifying DFH would have been very helpful.

Could have been better - The trip started a bit shaky. The crew did not really welcome us aboard, and the ship was not in great shape. We did not see any life jackets, nor were we given safety instructions. Maybe they do t differently here, but this would not measure up to USCG standards. After two trips across the bay to stock up in scuba tanks, we set off on our trip. The actual snorkeling was fun, and my wife was given special attention because she was a little bit apprehensive. The food was very good, and the captain was very permissive with the kids, allowing them to jump off the side of the boat at will. We had fun and but for the lack of safety instruction, visible life jackets, and a well-maintained boat, this would’ve been an excellent trip. There are better options available on the island, though.
