“The snorkeling was fun. Waters were clear. Not as many fishes, but we did see a turtle. There was an implosion of seaweed on the main island which could’ve affected the fish population in the key. The sandwiches and drinks were good. Just wished sandwiches were a tad bigger. Staff was awesome. Thank you!!”
