This was so great! Mum is 72 and is not confident in the water at all. We have never snorkeled before. You wear a life jacket and can opt to wear an extra flotation device which we did, and you can then effortlessly stay above water. The crew were awesome, so fun and kind, and sushi the dog is an absolute highlight. We saw turtles underwater and a few above water also. Lots of fish too. I love that it’s a relatively short experience, 2 hours was perfect for us as beginners and heaps of time in the water, we didn’t want a whole day out. Highly recommend for all ages. These guys are fabulous.
Fun Time!

Great experience with the captain and crew and was able to see turtles at turtle canyon. The boat ride was a bit choppy, but was able to minimize sea sickness by sitting at the back of the boat. Loved being in the water and just hanging out with the fishes and turtles.
Great experience!

The snorkeling tour was absolutely amazing! Everything was very well organized, and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed throughout the trip. We were provided with snacks and drinks, and equipments which was a really nice and thoughtful touch. The captain was knowledgeable funny, and even though it was already time to head back, he made the extra effort to show us a whale — an unforgettable bonus experience. The crew was incredibly supportive, and kind, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was also a unique and heartwarming detail that there was a dog on board, making the trip even more special. Highly recommended!
