★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 944 reviews · from $120

Expect breakfast, a BBQ lunch, an open bar, snorkeling gear, sea turtles, a lighthouse, shipwrecks, and roughly five hours on the island. Captains and crew members such as Jay, Michael, Tim, and Mitchell are often praised for friendly service, but the ride out can be very rough.

“Fantastic day trip! One of the most beautiful beaches you can find in the Caribbean with such clear water. We saw a bunch of tropical fish & a sea turtle while snorkeling. The lighthouse & ship wrecks were 100% worth the short walk & great for pictures. Our guides were great & very friendly. They had a delicious BBQ lunch for us on the boat too. The boat ride there is pretty rough due to big waves & high wind so come prepared if you get sea sick. 10/10 would recommend”

Flamingos, two of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen, snorkeling and we saw turtles, the national park, drove through the colorful town and got to take pictures and a trip to the distillery. We had a comfortable van with crisp AC and only 8 total people (my family of 3 and 5 other passengers). We had a driver and a tour guide Sevi—they were great!!! I definitely recommend this trip.”
