Worth every penny!! Great boat and crew with lots to do for the kids. The slide and high dive are a great way to keep kids engaged. Food was all good as well!

We did a private chartered trip. It was wonderful: breathtaking snorkeling, including being 3 feet from a manta ray, dolphins swimming with our boat, delicious food, and fascinating historical information from our hosts who genuinely care about environmental impacts. Highly recommended.
