"Day Trip To Paradise"
We booked this through the tour guide located at the hotel and were not disappointed. We had 4 adults and 2 kids (4 and 5). We were picked up from the hotel and were off sailing on the catamaran in no time. Had a snorkeling session then hit the beautiful Musket Cove. What a place, simply stunning. After a fantastic BBQ lunch, we then headed to a sand bar out in the middle of the ocean for some more snorkelling or simply walking along the bar.
The crew were a great bunch of lads and the whole family had a fantastic day. Cheers guys.

"Ask For This Tour!"
After much probing and several visits to tour guides we were given a brochure to this tour group. I am thrilled we did it although a bit pricy it was so worth it! Pick up form hotel driven down to the prt , leave around 9 on the catamaran for an hour plus sail our to the reef to snorkel. The boat crew are fantastic, BYO as a tip, and load up on the sunscreen -SPF 50+ you get roasted! Snorkel gear, guides, life vests , flippers all provided. After the 1st snorkel we headed to Musket cove (next to Plantation island) for lunch a bit of exploring swimming, a cocktail or two. Then it's off to sand var island for the second snorkel, and then home. It was a fantastic day out on the water got to meet a few other lovely people (max of 30 on the boat which is great) and the crew were amazing with the kids teaching them how to make things with palm leaves. Really wonderful experience!! Highly recommend.

"Awesome and Friendly"
We traveled with our 3 kids (13, 12 & 7 year old) and we all enjoyed this trip. The crew were very relaxed and friendly. It was a small group so it was easy to interact with everyone. They genuinely wanted to make us happy and went out of their way. A girl on board was celebrating her 16th birthday so they organised for a cake, it was great.
The views from Musket Cove were incredible and I'm glad we stopped there. Then we went on to more snorkeling and again, God's creation was not disappointing. It was a GREAT day and the kids loved it. Would highly recommend.
