All Ladies Snorkel and Sandbar Tour...what a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! Chelsea and Jen were the perfect duo to navigate and lead our girly crew on the best afternoon...very informative, very safe, tons of memories made!! Highly recommend!!

We went out with Lauren and Lida and had such a good time! Everything was great from the snorkeling to the sand bar! Will definitely be back!

We took and afternoon trip on 09.07.24, departed from Hawks Cay Resort. It was amazing. The captain and mate were wonderful. Helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Coffins Patch reef was stunning. The trip to the sandbar was idyllic. Perfect way to cap off the excursion. Highly recommend.

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!

Terrific excursion. Knowledgeable, laidback guides and beautiful snorkeling spot. The sandbar swim was a perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend.

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!

Absolutely loved it. Even though I was the kid who didn’t pay a single cent for this adventure, I would sure pay to go on another one! Chelsea and Jen were our Instructors and they did a great job explaining the sea life and snorkel procedures. They told us what we would see and what to do! They were great and had amazing stories to tell us. They showed us picture perfect sights and gave us a great time. Give them a raise, they deserve it!

Joel and Chelsea took us out on our excursion to snorkel at a reef and swim at a sand bar today, and they did an amazing job. They were very knowledgeable, professional, and great with our family. I’d highly recommend using them if you want to have a great experience!

What an amazing crew! Capt Chelsea and First Officer Jen! The snorkeling was the best...saw a Nurse Shark! And, the drinks and swimming on the Valhalla Sandbar was so fun! What a great trip! Thank you sooo much Capt Chelsea and FO Jen!
