I wish I would have thought to read google reviews before booking this trip. We booked this through our upscale all-inclusive family resort. So I just assumed it would be a quality trip. I will be talking to them tomorrow about reconsidering sending people in the future. We went in March 2024. Looking back on the other one star reviews from even 6-7yrs ago, it’s the same complaints that we had with our trip. It was sold as a family friendly snorkeling trip. Very little snorkeling was done. The ocean was very rough and was not safe for children. We have a 5 and 8 year old who are very strong swimmers for their age and both struggled and were a bit scarred from the experience. The “snorkeling” is done in these strange fenced in cages in the ocean. I have snorkeled many places and never seen this. Sadly they have rays and sharks trapped in these tiny pens. So sad. They bring the ray above the water repeatedly so people can hold it. By the time my terrified five year old and I made it to the pens from the boat (you have to swim along a rope line), we had about 10min in the pen. There was an elevated mat to stand on and we could stick our head in the water and see a few small fish. The rest of the trip was a booze cruise/party boat with REALLY loud music and many explicit songs played. Families with kids should stay away. The only good thing was the really beautifully views of undeveloped coastline and we had a few sea turtle spottings from the boat. Can’t believe we paid $125 per adult and $65 per kid for this. - via
