5.00It was amazing! We probably saw 30 turtles and so many fish! The entire crew, Krash, , Shannon, Anna, Mans and Sushi made our trip so fun and special. We've already re-booked for 12 of us to go on the sunset crew with them and can't wait to see them all again! You won't regret booking with them.
Amazing crew. Amazing activity.

5.00Crash, Lucy and Anna made the experience memorable and ensured our safety and the protection and respect of the beautiful turtles. The equipment was fabulous, great quality and very clean. We saw lots of turtles and loads of fish. Crash has a great sense of humour and the girls guided us to where the turtles were in the water. A fun experience.

5.00Great experience the captain and crew were terrific and very helpful. They put us right on a small reef area where we got to swim with a few turtles and a lot of fish. Highly recommend if you don’t want to spend a whole day trying to find turtles. A 2 hour trip Is great if you don’t have a lot of time on the island
