Everything about the trip was top notch. We snorkeled in four different locations, enjoyed a full lunch of: ribs, chicken, mahi, salads and our crew was wonderful. The bar was open all day too. There are less expensive options, on the island, but do yourself a favor and spend the extra couple dollars on The Original Farewell Tour. You will love it!
The day was amazing but I did think it was mis-represented by saying it was a Snorkel sail. That opportunity did present it's self one time in that day and a second time if you were very independent. The waters were beautiful and the crew was great as we sailed around the island of St. Maarten and we all had a great time.
My husband and I had a great time, we were picked up from our hotel in Orient Bay, and were taken to the catamaran, it was a full boat of people, all friendly. We set out and they announced what we were passing, which beaches, ect. We stopped in Grand Case for a fantastic lunch, then on board again, it was to rough to go on the Orient side so they stopped at happy Bay beach, a beautiful beach. then they served sandwiches on the way back, all in all it was a great trip.
We were older by a generation or more from most of the other guests and we also have some mobility problems to deal with but none the less we were made to feel quite welcome and the crew went well out of their way to see to it that we got the most out of the outing. After a certain age just getting into a dingy becomes an adventure. Many thanks to that crew and to the barkeep who kept us well oiled.
Took some friends on the trip around the island. It was our second time and it was amazing. The crew was very professional and friendly. You gotta do it when you go to St. Marrten.
My husband and I were originally scheduled to do this tour on Tues, June 10th, but I came down with a 24 hour bug and we couldn't make it. My husband met the driver at the designated spot and told him we wouldn't be going and we didn't think anything more of it. I figured we were just SOL on the money I spent. About an hour later we got a call from the company asking if we wanted to reschedule for Friday! I couldn't believe it and we of course said yes. That was so nice of them and we really enjoyed the trip. The crew was great and the snorkeling was awesome. The open bar was a plus and we were out all day with numerous stops around the island. I would recommend this tour group to everyone who wants a good time with "Quality Time"! Thanks again for a great vacation.
Good trip. Snorkeling was not very impressive. Crew was great!
We really enjoyed out day on the Catamaran. We had a group with varying swimming abilities - some swam very well, others could not swim at all. Everyone had a good time on the boat, in the water, and at the restaurant. The crew was extremely helpful and friendly. The restaurant food was excellent. We had a great day of sailing, sunning, making new friends. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to spend a day on the water.
