“One of the best family boat tours we have done, Thank you.”
“The BEST trip ever. Best team- safe, kind, fun, professional, knowledgable, generous and thoughtful. The emphasis was on conservation and considerate, sustainable tourism. The food was incredible, the boat was brilliant and have I managed how great the staff were? Our children loved it as much as us and we were so lucky to be on a trip like this. We appreciated every detail and the fact it wasn’t mass tourism with no soul like so many tours. We felt so treated and cared for despite additional needs. It really is the best trip with the best people- thank you all and congratulations on creating such a special environmentally positive project.”
“The best experience ever !!! If you have small children please please please do not hesitate to book it ! The team is so patient and attentive to the kids they make sure they feel comfortable and confident. By the end of the experience my daughter was literally swimming on her own ! The staff is so friendly and the boat is extremely clean I was surprised by the bathroom and how clean it was as well. And the food wow just an overall 10/10 experience ”
“Me and my friend, along with our 2 children (5yo and 6yo) had a brilliant day out with the coral quest. Pick up from the hotel was easy. We were educated about coral conservation and had a brilliant experience in the water. The trip is really child friendly, providing snorkels and life belts for the kids, who both had experience in the water already. Even if you don’t though, they are very careful and make sure you are safe in the water. The food was absolutely brilliant, cooked in their specialty boat kitchen. The reef had some amazing fish, and we even got to feed them. The team also had a go pro camera and were taking plenty of photos of us so we could concentrate on enjoying our time in the water. Afterwards we managed to fit in a little bit of shopping where we were encouraged to haggle down prices. All in all a brilliant experience, especially if you have a young family.”
“The snorkeling was great, and we enjoyed the preservation discussion and education about the reefs. If you’re comfortable, strap on the flippers and swim down several feet to get close ups of the reef. There were lots of smaller, beautiful fish and wildlife viewable just a bit deeper than surface level. The vibe on the boat was great! The captain and crew were fun and friendly. Not overly crowded like some other boats we saw, and the crew easily switched between Spanish and English to accommodate the diverse families on board. Unfortunately, a member of our party got seasick about halfway through the excursion (obviously no one’s fault). They sent a speedboat within minutes to collect us and take us back to land ahead of the big boat’s return so she could get some relief more quickly. We missed what smelled like an amazing lunch, but we were so grateful they took care of our girl. They even called the transport van so it was waiting for us when we arrived back at the beach to get us straight to our resort so she could recover and enjoy the rest of the day. Lovely people!”
