Had a wonderful trip from start to finish. This is the second time that we booked through Viator and have not been disappointed.
Thank you!

Jamal was a great tour guide -very knowledgeable. Only saw 1 monkey at the reserve, long wait at Harrison's Cave, no snorkeling to see turtles. They said the water was too rough but someone else went out had beautiful, clear video of her kids swimming with 3 turtles -while we sat and killed time :(

My biggest issue with this tour was we got bumped due to "overbooking" due to the cruise ship, which I was told really meant it they hold all the spots for the cruise as that is their bread and butter. I was frustrated with this as our entire schedule for the week had already been planned out by mid-week and the tour operator was not up front in why we were not being picked up despite confirming with them on Sunday to be picked up 3 days later. I feel this situation could have been handled better, by letting us know on Sunday or even Monday we would not be able to tour on the date purchased versus not showing up to pick us up the morning of the date scheduled. On to the tour itself - Harrison's Cave and snorkeling with the turtles was definately worth doing. I was a little disappointed in the Wildlife Reserve, as other than some monkeys, turtles, and snakes there wasn't much of interest to see. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the island. I recommend doing this near the beginning of your trip if you can and don't have scheduling issues.

Our family of 7 enjoyed the trip very much, and Gemala was a fantastic driver and gave us lots of information along the route. The caves were amazing, but we were so so disappointed that we didn't see one monkey on this tour. The lunch was o.k. but the real highlight was swimming with the turtles, and THEY didn't disappoint. Wonderful creatures, so gentle, larger than we expected. There was a notice up at the monkey park saying they are usually around between 3 and 4 pm so suggest you re-organise the itinerary and take the public at this time instead of 1 pm!!

Things did not seem as organized as I expected. The glass-bottom boat was not a fully glass boat as I expected.

We had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Lisa, was funny and told us all about the island. Harrison's Cave tour was a bit drawn out, but we're glad we went. The Animal Preserve was interesting with all the animals up close and swimming with the turtles was the best part! Lunch was delicious (get the fish and use the hot sauce!). We definitely recommend this tour - it's great for one day or a cruise stop or just to learn more about the island.

Tour was excellent.
Another day in paradise.
Guide was a fount of knowledge.
Would take again just to snorkel with the fishes.
Most island tours we took had to be paid in US cash.

wildlife reserve was small and we did not see any monkeys.
harrison cave was amazing.
swimming with the turtles was the best but short.
they had a lot of time need to go to the different locations to drive. the result was that we hunted everywhere and got little time.

An excellent tour of the island. The group was nice and small - at times only 4 of us going up to a maximum of 8 of us in a minibus which made for an informal setting. The tour guides were excellent - very knowledgeable and obviously proud of their island, very friendly and funny too. Swimming with the turtles was the definite highlight but it was lovely to see the caves and animal reserve too and also a great way to see a bit of the rest of the island as you travelled from place to place. Highly recommended. I would use Glory Tours again - they called and left a message for us on our arrival at our hotel to confirm the pick up details for our tour and the lady we spoke to on the phone was very helpful and friendly too.
