Ocean outback adventures

NOT WORTH THE MONEY/BUYER BEWARE. First, this man, who is making money hand over fist, needs to invest in a loud speaker so all on board can hear him and his instructions about safety. He was constantly barking orders at people, and I thought I was back in school with an overwhelmed and flustered teacher rather than on a fun sea cruise. I know T&C is expensive, but he can afford a new sound system. Also, while the sights along the coastline were quite beautiful, he took us snorkeling in water that was way too rough "If you get in the back of the boat, you'll end up in the Bahamas." That's insanely alarming. He also only provided weight belts that do not provide the same level of safe flotation as a life jacket that is really needed for safe snorkeling. Bring or rent your own life jacket...While the rum punch was good, the snacks were a pretty pitiful display of left over, mashed up chips and cold queso. I would bring my own and avoid "indulging" in this so-called buffet, especially during COVID. We did, however, enjoy taking in the coastline sites and the area of the small islands by the shallow water. That excursion alone is worth it, but we didn't get a lot of time there. I would just recommend people snorkel there rather than rough seas. Then kids can do it. Later, he took us back toward the beach for a last few minutes of fun. I, however, question the sanity of anyone jumping off a boat into shallow water which people were encouraged to do after several attempts to anchor the boat in the right spot. During this time, the Captain was hopeful the water was deep enough for jumping. Still, to his credit and experience, no one was hurt, but I wouldn't bet on a a maybe like that. As a frequent visitor to the Caribbean, while there was a fun respite in the shallow waters area shown in the ads, this was the worst "adventure" boat trip I have ever taken. Period. I think the captain could vastly improve things by 1) investing in a loud speaker or at least a megaphone, 2) having everyone sign the waiver before they get on the boat, and not after when movement on the boat on rough seas is not a good idea. Perhaps the waiver could be signed when people are waiting for the boat to arrive 3) If serving crunched up chips so you have more over the week is your idea of snacks, please don't serve them at all. You would be better to hand people small servings of individual snacks like they do on airplanes. It's more hygienic during these strange times. 4) Get people to agree to snorkeling on your site so you know how many life jackets, not weight belts, and sizes to have available. Weight belts are not really enough in rough waters. 5) Again, please invest in a loud speaker or at least a megaphone....

I highly recommend Captain Bill's outback adventure. We have gone twice now. It is perfect for kids and teens. Captain bill has an endless collection of Dad jokes. The snorkeling is great for young kids and teens, but you want something else for serious adult snorkeling. Jumping off the boat is also really fun for the kids. The snacks are good, and the final destination, Silly Cay, is actually really spectacular, with several secluded beaches. We swam across the micro-bay to the far beach and the shallow spot next to it, and it was pristine. Anyway, highly recommended. If you are in the area with kids, be sure to check out Taylor Bay beach nearby. Its the best beach on the island for kids. Pristine white sand, shallow for an absurdly long distance, and never crowded due to a...

Epic experience! If you’re looking for some boujee, hoity toity, fancy pants, boring boat tour, this is not for you. However, if you like real, down to earth, don’t sweat the small stuff, laugh it up, reconnect with your inner child, and learn some great history about the island, this is where it’s at! Captain Bill is exceptional, and his first mate, Moni (sorry if I misspelled her name) is sweet as pie. They make you feel safe, welcome, and ready to have a great time! The dad jokes are top notch. Ask Captain Bill to play his tunes! He’s got a great playlist that sets the perfect vibe. 10/10, if we ever make it back to the island, we’re bringing family and absolutely kicking it with Captain Bill. Thank you for an incredible experience that will last us a...
