We did not fully know what to expect on this boat tour. Captain Roy & 1st mate Jaden made everyone comfortable, safety briefing then a quick run down of the day. We had a short ride to a protected bay outside the most expensive resort on the island. We had a chance to swim for 20 minutes or so. Then they passed around French bread & Gouda cheese cubes as a snack, plenty to drink from water to beer, coke products, & rum punch. Next stop was the first snorkeling stops French protected Marine sanctuary , lots of reef & fish everywhere. Then we rode over to Lolos for lunch. When we checked in they asked chicken, ribs or fish. Knowing what I know now I would have gotten ribs. However the smoked chicken was great, service was great & we had about an hour for lunch. We were there maybe 45 minutes or so, then off to Tintamarre island to snorkel & we had 5-6 seas turtles just grazing in the sea grass, this was a cool experience. We swam up to the beach & enjoyed exploring. Back on the boat for a short ride to Pinel Island for daiquiris at the beach side bar. We spent about an hour there. Once we got back on the boat plastic bags were passed around for your stuff if you didn’t have a dry bag. We sat on the bow of the boat & rode into the waves of the Atlantic & all get pretty soaked. We all said after of all the boat excursions this was by far our favorite by a long shot. I can not recommend this trip any more highly is you want to see the whole island by boat.
