Super fun trip, the crew was really helpful and informative, I’d take the tour again. We saw at least 3 or 4 turtles and lots of fish.

Krash, Shannon and Sushi were amazing! With only two human crew members, they put safety as a top priority. Krash showed great care while captaining the boat, making the ride as smooth as possible.

The price was reasonable for the snorkeling but customer and guidance was minimal, especially in the water. There was no emphasis on the customer.

A 2.5-hour fantastic experience with a skilful crew. We messed up the time and missed the morning tour. Thankfully, the tour company allowed us to join the later tour of the day. The 2.45pm tour had few people, which was even better for us. You have to know how to swim. They provided life jackets and safety briefs, but the current is strong, and it could be scary for non-swimmers. The underwater world was beautiful. It was exactly what we were looking for.

It was fun, we saw about 10 different turtles! The equipment was in good condition and the guides were kind and helped a lot getting the kids to participate and not be stressed.
