“Our originally booking was cancelled due to not enough people that was disappointing. Because we had gone to Stingray City and Starfish Point, we specifically booked this one to go to different snorkeling places. Luckily, we were able to go the next day instead. Wow, we loved it more than our first similar tour from another company. There were more (groups) of fish just right next to the boat at the snorkeling places and we saw two sea turtles too. They brought enough of squid to feed the stingrays (and the sea birds) and the stingrays just were just swimming around us. My kids were finally willing to try to…”

“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.…”
