This excursion can be whatever you make of it! You can stay however long you like. you will be taken back to port when you wish to leave. You can spend your day snorkeling, sun bathing, partaking in the food and drink(at an extra cost), or any combination. The staff is super friendly and the facilities (floating tiki bar/platform) are... More

I and my wife had taken two recent trips involving snorkeling. They were fun, but we only had a maximum of an hour in the water each time. I don't know if we got to stay as long as we did because it was part of an excursion from the cruise ship, but it was just what we wanted. The... More

Don't get me wrong we had a good time. But we saw almost 2 fish, except the ones that were hanging around for food thrown off the dock, no .... well no anything. We did see sea urchins and they have a sunken helecopter which my daughter thought was pretty cool. But all in all I felt it was very... More

my husband is a vacationing "pro" and this is his favorite spot in the Caribbean. There's nothing to dislike about this place. Perfect spot for a family with both those who like to "do" and those who don't. We had the perfect day here, snorkeling, sunning and splashing. There's a freshwater shower to rinse off the salt water. The burgers... More

Our boys are 9 and 11 and not all that adventurous and this was the perfect introduction to snorkeling. The staff is what makes it great--they are warm, helpful and fun. They loved it and we are now ready to graduate to more hardcore snorkeling. There were not a lot of fish but definitely some plus a fake buried helicopter... More

We went as a family from our cruise ship and everything was well planned and organized. There is not a lot of room for storage on the floating hut (and sometimes it's quite wavy) so they do this great organization thing were they store your stuff in a basket behind that counter with a number that matches your bracelet. This... More

the water was beautiful and very relaxing. I thought there was very good service and the workers had a very good sense of humor. I especially loved the mini pool for children to swim in where only little fish could come in. Thank you so much for the great service!!!! More

We went to the tiki hut as part of our cruise with celebrity and booked it through them, so I am not sure what the non-cruise cost of this attraction. We arrived at around 10 AM, and were there until about 12:30 PM. You could, however spend the whole day there, if you so wanted, the boats come by about... More
