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.”
