We had a great time, everything ran very smooth. Guides are funny and knowledgeable about the island. Saw dolphins, humpbacks and plenty of different reef fish and coral. Boat is very comfortable and lunch was delicious. Highly recommend doing this experience. Friendly for all ages.

Six of our family, all senior citizens, went snorkeling with Hang Loose. We all had great experiences. The length of time snorkeling was perfect, and the coral and fish were spectacular. On the way back we waited for a while to see a distant whale surface without success, but we did see a bunch of dolphins and a cave. The boat was great - we all stayed on the bottom deck to stay out of the sun. The staff was helpful, and the lunch (sandwiches and fruit) was good and plentiful.

It was a great experience. The 3 guys staff were super nice. The 1 spot you go snorkeling is very nice. Lots of fish. I think more than 1 snorkel spot would have been better. And at least 1 staff member should get in the water with the snorkelers. The staff do not get in and coming back to back to the boat I had a panic issue. Another guest saw me from the boat and helped me. All in all it was still a good experience. The snorkel spot is really good.
Family fun time
