Our custom design vessel contains lots of reef information for those that prefer a self guided option. Our Marine Bios are always on hand to answer questions too!

Although the tour is only a half day, we make sure our guests have plenty of complimentary healthy snacks to fuel their afternoon, like our locally sourced tropical fruit platter
