This was the only excursion that our group of 8 did while visiting TCI. Our tour guides Jai and Gino were outstanding! They were very friendly, upbeat, and enthusiastic. They took us out to go snorkeling first. When I got my mask on I noticed it was fogging up even before getting into the water. I said something to Gino and he was nice enough to put some defogger on it and it worked perfectly. Once in the water, it was pretty easy to maneuver around. There were some cool looking fish out that day. We got back on the boat and headed for the island. There was plenty of rum punch and soda to go around for all. Once at the island, Gino gave us a comical demonstration of the conch and the making of the conch cerviche. It was very enjoyable. We were given time to explore the island, see the iguanas, and swim in the water. When we got back on the boat, we had the conch cerviche, sub sandwiches, chips, and beverages. We headed back to the drop-off point and had a wonderful cruise on the water. I would highly recommend this tour. Jai and Gino made the time interesting and were very inviting. I would recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you have one to get pictures of the fish. I brought water shoes and they were great when we got to the island. Everyone in our group had a wonderful time and said they were pleased with the trip. I felt we had an amazing time and it was not overpriced!

Taking off to the amazing Iguana Island, I had no idea what to expect. When I arrived on the boat, the crew was immediately friendly and knew exactly the best spots to give us the best afternoon. Thank you to Shane and Chilla on the Alexandra 3 for the best day! They were the best crew! The snorkeling spot on Barrier Reef was absolutely stunning, and with the help of Chilla we saw some gorgeous fish and corals. Then we went conch hunting, and were afterward able to take the shells home. The private island was so pretty, with many iguanas. The lunch was fresh and great, and tubing afterward was a thrill and so much fun. Before we docked, we went down the slide and jumped off the top of the boat, which completed a great afternoon. I recommend a half day, private charter, but the double decker is not very necessary. The experience I had with this company was amazing, nobody does a tour like this better! So much fun!

I was a bit nervous as we walked up and I saw a line of people getting on board "The Big Boat" - thought it was going to be just another tourist trap that was overbooked, overcrowded, and generally disappointing.

But it was not that at all. Although there were quite a few passengers, the boat was by no means crowded and the crew were amazing when it came to passing out sandwiches, chips, conch salad, beer, rum punch, and water. The snorkeling was also fantastic as the spot they drop you at has plenty of roaming space to not be swimming on top of one another. The beach was great (would suggest giving the 5 minutes of attention to listen to their conch walk-through) and the ride home was quick, easy, and full of music.

GREAT experience - highly recommend it!
