1.00We were supposed to leave at 10 am. We arrived on time and they kept telling us the boat would be arriving in 10 minutes. 1 hour and 45 minutes later, we told them we couldn’t wait any longer and were leaving. We wasted an entire morning of our vacation.
Poor experience

1.00I booked a three-hour tour that was scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM, but by 11:32 AM, the guide was already taking us back. During that time, we were only taken to one location. When we asked to visit additional places as described in the tour listing, the guide refused. Additionally, the single location we were brought to appeared to be private property, and we were effectively trespassing. This made the experience uncomfortable and clearly not what was advertised. Overall, the tour did not match the description provided at the time of booking, and we did not receive the full experience we paid for. Based on these issues, I am requesting a full refund.
The snorkeling was great....

4.00The snorkeling was great. Our guide was spot on as to where to see different fish and turtles. They were 30 mins late on our departure but added it on the back end.
Great price but small, older boat that didn’t run great

3.00Our captain, Sandro, was amazing and made sure we had an excellent experience. We loved the sunken ship, swimming with turtles and seeing the many colorful fish! I’m giving this experience 3 stars because the description on Viator was not what we ended up getting. We were supposed to go to Mango Halto Beach but that wasnt possible. The meeting spot was also not clear and the boat was very old and not in great working condition.
