Snorkeling, bread and cheese and rum punch - Great snorkeling trip with the best bread and cheese snacks. Our Captain and 1st mate wre fabulous. We had a short lived rain shower but we still had a great time. There were only 4 people on the tour and so it was a very personalized experience.

Capt Obie & Sarai make Sand Dollar tour one to remember! - We (family of 7 adults) did a private afternoon boat trip on Sand Dollar in the lagoon, to Philipsburg and around part of the French side with Capt Obie and first mate Sarai. We had a FANTASTIC time enjoying the sights. Obie and Sarai were great guides, answering questions, going where we asked and providing refreshments! We will make this an annual outing.

Great Experience! - Great trip. Very low key and relaxed. It was extra good for us since it left out of our resort so we did not have to travel far. Boat ride was pleasant and we saw some beautiful sights. Hospitality on board was fantastic, with lots of drinks, bread and cheese. Very friendly crew. Snorkeling site was wonderful with a large number of fish to be seen. The time flew by really fast. Highly recommend!!

A perfect snorkeling trip! - The boat ride to Creole Rock was gorgeous and fun. The waters at Creole Rock were crystal clear in parts. LOTS of fish to see. I also saw a couple sea turtles. We were given a full hour to snorkel on our own, which was lovely. The boat's captain and assistant were both very nice and helpful.

Wonderful experience despite choppy waters. - Outstanding experience in every way. Our captain and guide Sean provided a cordial welcome and interesting narrative along the way with a beautiful overview of the coastline and harbors. The weather was a bit choppy when he reached our snorkel destination, so the water was less than clear in the snorkel experience, not ideal, but that was no fault of the tour operator or personnel. To the contrary, we were made to feel safe and supported throughout, and got a little bonus time and a stop along a sandy beach on the way back. The small size of the boat made for a perfect and cordial interaction with other passengers as well as the opportunity for a personalized experience.

Poor communication. - Snorkeling excursion was canceled without my knowledge. I did receive a missed call two days beforehand from a number I did not recognize, but no one left a voice message informing me of the cancellation or sent an email. We drove 30 minutes the day of the tour only to learn upon arrival that it had been cancelled.
