Fun and informative - Sam was a wellspring of information providing commentary throughout the tour sprinkled with stories that made it all the more enjoyable. Everyone in the group was friendly and the environment was comfortable. For the snorkeling activity the rental company provides water shoes, and if you wear glasses, prescription masks ranging from 200-400 which was great. If you need a locker you’ll have to rent one for around $7. They hold on to the key for you while you snorkel. For my second activity I tried SUP. If it’s your first time you can ask from some instructions and it will be enough for you to get going and have fun with it.

Excellent Tour, Excellent Guide, Excellent Experience - Excellent Tour. Uncle Kevin (We're all family on The Surf Bus) did a fantastic job ensuring everyone on the tour was able to get the experience they wanted. Even allowing us to modify our itinerary slightly, on the fly to make our trip perfect. He was very knowledgeable about the island history and was happy to share his life experience growing up on the Island. I would 100% use The Surf Bus again.
