I did the snorkeling sandbar tour and the staff were two wonderful friendly knowledgeable young ladies! At the sandbar the storms started rolling in and were watched closely by the staff making sure we were not in danger from lightning. We had to head back early and the rain poured on us all the way back but even though the day was cut short a great time was had by all. Even despite a few jellyfish stings. 😊 Well worth it and reasonably priced. Thank you ladies!

My two daughters and I went on a snorkeling adventure and I can’t say enough about how great the staff is! My younger daughter unfortunately had an encounter with a jellyfish and the crew was so knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you Mike, Captain Lauren, and Leeda for making her feel incredibly comfortable right after the incident. You’re in good hands with the people at Sole watersports! Would definitely recommend!

We had a private trip today with Sole' and what a treat. I'm an avid diver but for this outing we had children and beginners for a family trip to get them interested in snorkeling and sea life in general. Well it paid off they haven't stopped talking about it! A huge shout out to our captain and first mate. These ladies are the best they knew exactly what do for us and made the trip fun and exciting for all. Would we do it again ?100% Yes! Take advantage of your time here and book a trip for the whole family you won't regret it. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
