What To Expect
The snorkeling tour takes place inside the reef lagoon (average depth of 1.80 meters), with calm waters and protected from the open sea by the crest of the reef. During snorkeling - and always swimming - you visit two different areas, one with sand and patches of algae grasses, where you can see hawksbill turtles and another near the crest of the reef with coral heads and tropical fish. The tour lasts one hour on the water and a 15-minute boat ride there and back, a total of an hour and a half. Includes equipment and guide.

5.00I had to cancel the tour due to bad weather, but I found the service great, as they took the trouble to contact me hours before to inform me of the inconveniences that could be (poor visibility) and gave me the option to choose whether to continue, or cancel with full refund, even though I support it would not allow me because of the rush of the request

5.00This was a very fun and safe snorkeling trip. I am a 70 years old female- I took the trip while my partner stayed behind working. I felt very safe and watched over. Our crew was Neto and Nano. We saw 2 very big sea turtles and lots of interesting fish in the beautiful blue Caribbean Sea.
Worth the time and money

5.00In snorkeling you can see a lot of species that inhabit the coral reef. The staff is extremely attentive and highly qualified so that you have an unforgettable experience, if you are in Mahahual it is definitely an experience that I recommend. We also went looking for the turtle and found it. Highly recommended.

5.00We found the location easily and had a very warm welcome. After a short boat ride and safety briefing we entered the water . The guides were very friendly and competent. They lead us to various coral reefs with lots of different species of fish . The highlight was seeing two turtles feeding . Without their experience we would never have seen them . We were in the sea for an hour and after returning they had facilities to shower . An excellent trip overall and great value for money .
Full hour of snorkeling. ...
