The best snorkeling experience! Captain Darian and John were wonderful!! They took us to some awesome snorkeling places and were so attentive! My husband, 2 daughters enjoyed it so much! We did this excursion while on a RC icon of the seas cruise. Easy meet up spot right outside port and transportation to the boat.

Amazing Snorkeling Adventure
Sharon_S, October 2026
Wonderful crew and spacious boat for snorkeling and relaxing onboard. The sights were beautiful and we saw turtles and plenty of reef fish, even a small shark! The painkiller cocktails were delicious! Sydney was so friendly and made us feel very happy! My sister is deaf and Sydney was able to sign with her. The captain was super nice and kept us very safe. I highly recommend this snorkeling adventure!

Girl's Snorkeling Trip
mattnK5578AM, September 2026
Jake and Sydney were the most amazing crew for our adventure! It was a short walking distance to gather at the meeting point, where they arranged for transportation to the boat and crew. Jake and Sydney took us to 2 amazing snorkeling locations where we saw colorful fish, turtles, and some pretty coral. They answered our questions, made us feel welcome, provided great information and made snorkeling fun and easy for beginners. We had plenty of drinks and snacks on board. We had the best time!
