5.00Great experience!!! The tour does small groups with the boat holding 9 or 10 participants with a short 5-10 minute boat ride to the snorkeling spot. We had about 8 Manta Rays hanging out coming right up to us over and over again. Thanks for a great evening.
It was a great...

2.00They do not care about safety of the passengers, no life vest provided or anything except a noodle. Remember it's night, pitch dark and in an ocean, there is no light. One wave and everybody is scattered and they think one or 2 people will save everybody. Jokes.. do not go with this tour. Others have good equipment and safety
Highly recommend!!!
