Guides such as Sheldon, Leland, Jake, Charles, and Pancho have been praised for friendly help, especially with children and photos.

“This excursion was everything that I hoped it would be. It was less crowded than the typical NCL excursions, it only had around 20 people on it. That made for a better experience snorkeling at the coral reef and allowed the photographer to spend more time with each person at Stingray City. The starfish portion of the excursion was fun and educational. This was one of the best shore excursions that I've been on in years! A few things to be aware of: * no fins were allowed on the coral reef snorkel - was my first time snorkeling without fins. Water at the reef is about 12 feet deep.…”

I can’t say enough good things about the crew, Jay, Alex and Pancho were exceptional. They took the time to explain everything and put those with zero swimming skills at ease during the snorkeling part of the tour. They were fun, engaging, professional and made sure we all got the full experience of the tour. Highly recommend this tour on the “Angel” boat with its experienced and excellent crew.”

It was also incredible beating the crowds watching other boats crammed full of ppl who might get 30secs with one. Going private on your own time is definitely the way to go! We also loved the snorkeling. Finishing out with tons of starfish hanging out was the perfect ending. Absolutely incredible & highly recommend. Bring extra cash for pictures. Amai was super sweet & got some great shots of our family enjoying the day.”
