My husband and I did this awesome trip yesterday. The crew was super nice and helpful (we had Ariel, Collin and Capt. Dave). Girls a tip for your outfit: wear a one piece or a bathing suit you know isn’t going anywhere! The water was surprisingly choppy/wavy. There were a few times I had to re-adjust my top (not the best way to be recorded in the video they offer). I can’t say much for the video quality since I haven’t seen it yet, but my husband and I decided to get one. Be sure to bring snacks and something to drink although they do offer water.
It is an overall amazing, one of a kind experience. But do expect some tiredness after. Holding on to the cage while waves are crashing on you makes you use up some energy, especially in the arms. And don’t be scared the crew makes you feel safe. We had a couple that was celebrating their 80th birthdays! If they can do it so can you!
As far as sea sickness goes, it’s a real thing. Don’t get embarrassed or worried. Both my husband and I got sea sick and definitely did our share of tossing our breakfast over the side of the boat. (With that try not to have a huge breakfast like we did) The crew was very comforting and did the best they could to make us comfortable. Didn’t make us feel bad or embarrassed which made the situation better.
Overall, it’s worth the trip and the money. Just be prepared with proper swimwear and something to fill your belly after the swim and possible sea sickness.
One last note: the driver wasn’t the nicest. Would have made the trip a bit less awkward and more welcoming if the driver was friendly. There were moments where my husband or another group member made a joke and he just stood quiet. We were also running late due to some confusion on location pick up and he drove a bit fast on the way to the docks. There was definitely a moment where he made a left into the highway in a location that had a side that said no left turns. Thankfully I had my seatbelt on. Lol any who other wise he got the job done and the rest were great! The woman on the phone Vicky was also super nice and helpful!
