Traveler reviews
Great kid vibes :)
I almost want to keep this gem all to myself… but here goes with my shining review. 100% recommend, my specs: mom with a 6 year old boy. First off their snorkel gear, life vests, and pool noodle quality is top notch. Second, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, plus bonus points for actually engaging with my kid, this equals high quality core memories. My kid loved it, which is huge as this was his first snorkeling experience. The water slide and high dive were super cool! My six year old loved the water slide :) I enjoyed the food, and my picky child had snacks and drinks that he was 100% satisfied with. Well done Saturday crew, you know who you are! And to the hang loose company, give kudos to the 8 AM crew on 8/22/26.

Amazing experience! The boat tour and snorkeling were absolutely wonderful. We also really enjoyed the live commentary throughout the trip—it was interesting, engaging, and added a lot to the experience. The chance to jump into the water was super fun too! Everything was very well organized and professionally handled. We would definitely recommend this experience!

It was a fun experience. Note that you swim up to the snorkle area and you can not walk on the monument.
