“After looking at 2 other tours we decided on this Snorkeling and Speed Boat Tour in order to have a more personalized experience on the water. There were 4 of us, 1 couple and 2 girlfriends for a total of 8 on the boat! It was awesome. Anthonie (Captain) and Oxana (1st mate) were awesome tour guides and very attentive. We toured both sides of the island (French and Dutch) and got a real understanding for both. The snorkeling spots were great, Pinel Island was beautiful and the sandwiches were delicious. If you want a great day on a fast boat with lots of interesting spots this is the tour…”
