A Warm Welcome to Galleon Beach

As soon as I arrived at Galleon Beach, I was greeted by a team that felt more like family than tour guides. Their warm smiles and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease. The short drive from English Harbour was a breeze, and I was eager to dive into the adventure that awaited me. The crew’s professionalism was evident from the start, as they took us through a detailed briefing, ensuring we were comfortable and confident with the equipment. They even had a clever trick for those of us with facial hair, using Vaseline to create a perfect seal on our masks. It was these thoughtful touches that set the tone for an unforgettable experience.

Underwater Adventures with a Twist

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the upgrade to the Sea Scooter Tour. For an extra USD 30, I found myself zooming through the water like a character in a James Bond film. The sea scooters allowed us to explore much further than we could have by swimming alone, and the sensation of gliding effortlessly beneath the waves was exhilarating. Our guides led us over shipwrecks and through the stunning Pillars of Hercules, pointing out enormous turtles and a dazzling array of marine life along the way. Their expertise and attentiveness ensured that we felt safe and confident throughout the excursion, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience.

Capturing Memories

One of the most delightful aspects of the tour was the complimentary photography service. The team captured brilliant shots of the marine life and our underwater escapades, leaving us free to enjoy the moment without worrying about missing a photo opportunity. These high-quality images are now cherished mementos of a day that was as thrilling as it was serene. As I floated back to shore, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such a unique adventure. The Swim With Turtles: Galleon Beach Marine Adventure is a must-do for anyone visiting Saint Paul, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow ocean lovers.
