1.00Captain is trying to be funny but he just isn’t. The bathroom looks gross and scary.
Well worth the money!

5.00Quick snorkel tour and was able to see lots of turtles and cool fish! The tour was easy to find and left on time. Worth the price for sure! The staff were very friendly and guided us in the water. The tour as a whole was about 20 people total.
Expect a lot of people...

5.00Expect a lot of people from other excursions in the water. But once you're in the water, take your time to appreciate what you're doing. There's another world below the surface. Schools of fish everywhere. Turtles were on the bottom of the sea floor and some breached the surface for air before they dove back down. The ride was comfortable and the crew were very knowledgeable and super friendly. A great way to spend 2 hours of your day.

5.00Crash and Margaret were the best. Great hospitality. Very fun and chill experience. Margaret knew all the best spots to find turtles. But the real star of the show was sushi. She is the sweetest soul and such a lover. Highly recommend!!
Best excursion ever

5.00We went on a snorkel with turtles tour. Our captain Crash and captain Sushi. Our snorkel guide was Margaret. They were informative, made sure we were safe. Told us a history of the area. Margaret was amazing, she made sure everyone kept together and were safe. Margaret also answered many marine life questions from my daughter and was very knowledgeable as my daughter asked many questions. The best part was we saw many turtles, Margaret was great at spotting them and Captain Crush was good at getting us to the right place to see turtles. I wanted to go back the next day to do it all again. It was the best day of our holiday. I have already told many people what a great day we had and will tell many more. We were able to sit in the net at the front of the catamaran and the sail went up on the way back. It made for an absolutely perfect trip. Thank you to all involved Ann-Marie and Aspen
