It was good. The wind was blowing, but the water was so clear. The guides could have spent a little more time making sure we knew how to snorkel.

Too many people on one boat, felt rushed during the excursion. Bus driver late leaving at meeting point because of late travelers, which caused huge delays. Not worth the price. Three stars given because of at the end we were able to be in the water with the sharks, which was a great experience. However, staff not friendly and it felt like they had no desire to be working. It's too bad as this could be an amazing experience if they cut down on the amount of people allowed on the boat and had themselves a little better organized.

As luck would have it, the cruise line changed the day that we were to be in Nassau and we had to call up and switch dates. Not only did the date change but the time was shortened as well. We were set to cancel but they were nice enough to modify our excursion by having us go to two out of three snorkel sites, then they sent a private motor boat to the main boat to bring us back to shore and then one of the assistants drove us back to the ship. We felt like royalty!_br/_ Snorkeling was amazing. We saw an abundance of sea life. Highly recommend this tour.

One of the best excursions we have ever been on! The snorkeling was great and swimming with the sharks was amazing!

I can’t believe how amazing it is down under. It’s another world. The crew members are very knowledgeable and very professional. I will use them again when i go to the Nassau

Everything about this tour was fantastic! The crew members were funny and knowledgeable, the snorkeling and swimming with sharks felt safe and most of all fun!! If u can, buy a waterproof pouch for your phone, the view down there is unexplainable! I wish I would’ve done the the same.

Excellent trip. It was quite busy, but plenty of staff to help everyone. _br/_ This trip is all at sea, so if your not too good with small boats and choppy water, it's not for you. The crew were excellent and very helpful. Safety was paramount. The kit was clean and looked fairly new. Best bit was being in the water with sharks swimming under you just a few foot away. All done safely with clear safety instructions.

This excursion is highly recommended. The staff was great and helpful. The price is far better then any other excursions similar. Great locations to snorkel at and plenty of fish and sharks to swim with. I should also point out that the shark swim is optional but is definitely worth it!

Very fun tour. Three stops, two for snorkeling - buy fish food before you leave the dock! then the last stop was to swim in the water with sharks! The sharks came up to the boat when we arrived someone, not mentioning any names was sea sick over the side and the shark were attracted to it. Once that gentleman was moved into a safe place, the sharks paid attention to the chum bait cage our crew dropped about 20 feet below. We watched the sharks swim around and smell the cage so they didn't pay much attention to us above. We were only in the water 5 minutes, so get your GoPro ready fast! I was lucky to be first off the boat and last one aboard, so more time in the water. _br/_ We also got to see the small island that has been in many movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean. Nice adventure.

We enjoyed the Bahamas Snorkel Adventure while in port on our cruise. Easy and professional booking, picked us up on time although the busses are around the corner, not at the fountain as stated. They shuttled us around for about an hour did appreciate being picked up then finally arrived at the dive shop. We did get a full three hours on the water. The first stop was ok, but the second stop was great. The only complaint I had is I wish they could have done the shark snorkel differently. They made us hang on to a rope attached to the back of the boat. I realize this was for our safety, but we were crammed together, being kicked and yanked about. Maybe to let 2 groups go out or 2 separate ropes would have been better. Also, it would have been nice to have a small snack provided. We were told that nothing would be given, not realizing we were gone from 8:00am till 2:00pm when we got back to port. Over all good time, would recommend this tour.

Excellent day on the water - fun guides and great snorkeling.
Review by: Kelley W, April 2017
We were on a cruise. It took 2 hours from the time we were told to meet, to the time our boat actually left the site. The drive was about 35 minutes. The first 2 snorkel sites were great! The water became choppy and we were not able to do the third stop, which is the one where you see the sharks. It was a little disappointing, but our guides stopped and threw out some fish food to attract the fish and several sharks swam around the back of the boat, which was cool. On a side note, there were a handful of us who got to see a shark while snorkeling on the second stop: Overall, it was a good excursion, as you can't blame them for the choppy water. I did feel it took too long to get started, however.

Captain and crew were really great. We didn't get to see the last stop which was the shark. The seas were too rough, people were sick. Also, they included the snuba people along with the snorkeling folks. This took too long. We wouldn't have even made it to the last stop even in good weather because the snorkeling folks had to wait a long time at each stop for the snuba people to finish and get back on the boat. Snorkeling was great though and like I said, the crew was super nice and fun.

This was a great tour and I would highly recommend. The tour bus picked us up from the pier where the cruise ship docked. The drive was a bit farther away from the main tourist area. Once arrived the facility was very nice, had bathrooms, changing rooms and a gift shop. We boarded the boat and had 3 stops to snorkel. The reefs were decent and I would recommending buying fish food prior to leaving at the gift shop, definitely worth all the fish all around you! The last stop was the shark swim which was great. The sharks are pretty far below you so it wasn't too scary. The guide took my camera and swam down next to them to take some photos up close for me. After we got out of the water they had the sharks come up closer to the boat with food and they were very wild. The boat returned to the facility and the bus was on time taking us back to the cruise boat.

We can't really rate our experience, because we didn't actually get the excursion. Primarily our fault, but wanted to warn those, like us, coming in on a cruise ship to read the fine print! We got their email 10 days before we were there, and 4 days before departing. But I was very busy at work, and failed to read the fine print...that if you wanted to be picked up, to get transportation to the excursion, you have to call them at least 24 hours ahead, to arrange it! All we saw was the be by the fountain at 8:15 part. So, t wasn't until about 8:30, standing in front of the fountain, that I spotted this little detail. Needless to say...we missed the excursion and lost out on the charges, to boot. So, word to the wise...when you get emails from them, you have to search for the important details. Finding the voucher you need to have, and which has the instructions, isn't obvious in the email. Realizing that you have to be ready and waiting at 8:15, not 9:30, isn't obvious, and needing to arrange transportation separately apparently telling them you're coming in on a specific cruise ship, when you reserve, isn't sufficient, also isn't obvious. It's there, which makes missing the excursion technically our fault, but you need to dig and research to figure this all out. Not my idea of being on vacation, quite frankly, so maybe we'll stick with cruise ship excursions from now on. Buyer beware!

Long trip to the marina as the bus picks up at many of the islands hotels. Boat is rudimentary, toilet seat was falling off the head and no receptacle to place your tissues._br/_ Only water provided, you must purchase any snacks you may want at the store in the marina_br/_ 3 snorkel sites, first two too deep for my preference, we are snorkeling, not diving._br/_ The snorkel with the sharks means hanging on a rope while the sharks are baited at the bottom._br/_ Only good thing about this tour after everyone back on board they drew the sharks to the surface by baiting them there.

Highly recommend this tour, Rakeem I think was our snorkel guides name was very friendly and welcoming. They picked us up right by the fountain from our cruise ship, the drive to the dive shop is about 45 min but the view getting their was great. It was also nice to see other parts of the island via van. Also met some new friends on our boat!! This excursion was the highlight of our cruise. One pro-tip, print a copy of your voucher don't try to use the electronic version and the sharks aren't tiny little baby sharks, they are BIG.

This trip was amazing. The crew was organized and handled a large group with ease. Our first stop was at a reef where we saw many fish. Our second stop we saw fish and jelly fish and the final stop we actually go in the water with reef sharks. This was awesome to be right in the middle of a school of shark. The crew made certain our safety was first. Then Van returned us to our ship, while enroute he gave us a history of the Bahamas, some interesting facts and also told of other places of interest. I would highly recommend this tour.

Pretty good tour, enjoyed seeing the sharks and the snorkeling spots were decent. The staff was excellent. The only negative was they way over booked it in my opinion. The boat was packed and that made the experience a bit uncomfortable. They combine the snuba/snorkel tours together so the back of the boat is filled with oxygen tanks that a lot of the guests had to sit against. Not a deal breaker but reduce the number of people by at least 10 and it would be a 5 star trip and a better experience.
