Not as expected, but good.
John_M

The crew was great. The trip was comfortable. The snorkeling was fun, the snuba experience was amazing, the breakfast was from Costco, but ok, the lunch was NOT the promised hawaiian BBQ buffet, but room temperature (supposed to be cold) turkey sandwiches (mine was soggy from the lettuce getting warm), thethe American cheese was gooey and terrible, and then lays chips.... terrible. I will say the crew - especially Emily and Annie - everyone, was great! Helpful, happy, engaging .... Overall a good Eveleth with just a few disappointments. They should send out notifications if they have to make changes to the programs....

We had a great morning on this boat tour. It was 1/2 capacity so did not feel like jammed in like cattle. Breakfast was fruit, muffin and banana bread. Lunch was sandwich, cookie, chips and soda. Great places for snorkeling and the staff are very friendly and they are willing to help you all the time.

From the very beginning the crew at Viator made this an amazing experience. The communication prior to the trip was very useful, with parking suggestions and what to bring along. They were very friendly greeting us at the pier and did a great job of checking us in and explaining everything to us. Everyone remained masked and safe throughout the trip (unless swimming, eating or drinking) and we felt safe and well cared for. The pilot did a great job of guiding us through the waves and chop to two great snorkeling locations. At the first location we saw MANY different fish. The fish were obviously used to swimmers and had no problem swimming and hanging out near our toes. The crew made sure that swimmers of all ability levels could enjoy the water and they had lifeguards in the water and on the boat deck to watch and ensure that everyone stayed safe. At the second location we saw beautiful reef and Turtles! At first you had to really check out the contours of the sand to see them, then once you saw their outline it was easy to spot more. Those that were swimming around were easier to see and very cute. We would definitely recommend this trip to others and plan to do it again, on the same boat, with friends. We had a great day.
