Must do outing

So much fun. The crew was great - very accommodating. Kept our drinks full. Made sure we got off and on safely. Delicious lunch. Loved snorkeling - saw lots of beautiful fish. Even though it rained on us we still had a great time.

Don’t take the Catalinas Island Snorkeling Tour

For some reason, the tour we took isn’t showing up. It was the snorkeling at Catalinas Island. t was a colossal waste of time and money. The trip was primarily for scuba divers and all the attention was paid to them. The boat ride took about an hour and the area is not at all gentle as advertised. We were handed the masks and flippers and told to jump in. My daughter had never snorkeled before and was not even told how to clear her snorkel. I had to tell her how to do it. We spent a ridiculous amount of time waiting for the divers to jump off in two separate places and then get back on. The “guide,” and I use that term loosely, barely spoke to us, just told us to stay together, and that was about it. Total waste of time and money.

Sunset on the sea

It was a great time & we had great weather. There were 13 in our group and another 4 people we didn’t know. Perfect amount for the boat. The food was good & the staff was helpful. Would definitely book this again.

40th Birthday

Amazing day. Saw turtles, people went into the ocean if they wanted to. The drinks were always pouring and its always nice to see a stranger get sea sick and try to vomit accurately in a solo cup. The walk to and from was easy from our resort and a sunset walk on the beach was absolutely magical.
