Great - Beautiful views from the ocean! I didn’t have the highest expectations for the “glass bottom” from looking at previous reviews yet the best part was just looking out into the ocean and towards the beach. Saw three sea turtles back to back absolutely beautiful and worth it in my opinion :)

Fun ride on the water - It was a fun ride out on the water. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any fish . Not for lack of trying tho. We did spot two turtles. Still it was a good time. The captain had a lot of entertaining stories.

Epic - We had an awesome time out on the water and our guide was hilarious!! We saw turtles and different varieties of fish. But best of all…we saw dolphins jumping and twirling that followed our boat waves. The guide said that usually doesn’t happen but I guess we got really lucky that day. I would definitely recommend doing this ride. Like Forrest Gump said…just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. We got our favorite that day!

Beautiful day on the water - We really enjoyed this trip out to see what we could see. We ended up seeing a turtle, dolphins and fish. The boat captain and his wife were great hosts. It was a clear beautiful day and if you get the chance take this tour.

Somewhat disappointed in the lack of fish and turtles - Captain and his wife were nice and very knowledgeable about the area. The ride was good but, we didn't see many fish and only 2 turtles from a 500 feet away. The viewing glasses were a waste because we saw more next to the boat.

Nothing to see in the sea but water and a few baited fish - The only sea life we saw were a few small black and striped fish that were attracted to the boat because some fish food was thrown overboard. There wasn't any reason to look into the glass viewing boxes because there wasn't anything to see beside the water and the sea floor. We expected to stop atop a reef or coral structure, but the captain did not do that. He seemed more interested in talking about the hotels and real estate that dotted the beach. I wish that he was more focused on finding sea life. It was definitely and not worth the cost. Perhaps it was the weather or time of day that there wasn't anything to see naturally but the captain should have been sufficiently experienced and focused to find something to see.
