Boors tour along magnificent rock formations and beaches. Two snorkel stops and one snack stop. Lucky to see whales, too.

Just had the best time snorkeling for the first time, and I 100% recommend this experience. The team at Aquascene was super professional, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect so we could truly enjoy the day. They’re on top of every detail, and you can feel how much they care. The snorkel was incredible, the water was crystal clear, and we saw so many beautiful fish and corals. Also, the morning tea was so good! One of those experiences I’ll never forget. 🩵🐠🌊
