5.00Went solo and had an awesome time with the group and the guides! Shannon, Anna, and Krash were knowledgeable, safety-oriented, and super entertaining. The pups were a great touch (shoutout to Sushi the first mate). Saw dolphins, turtles, and tons of fish.

5.00Fantastic experience! We enjoyed all of it - the staff, the snorkeling, the amazing dolphins, and the boat. The first turtle appeared as soon as we anchored, and we saw plenty more while snorkeling. Carlo and Ann(a?) provided lots of information as we snorkeled, to help us understand what we were seeing. Captain Crash was also helpful and very approachable with questions. All-in-all, I would highly recommend this adventure - more than worth the cost.
Awesome snorkel experience

Scam and waste of time

1.00We went to the site - the finding parking took us more than 30mins and was rescheduled at dock at the last minute. The second time we went, they finally let us in. The boat is very bumpy. At the end, we spend time in the cold water and see no Rays. What a waste of time and bad experience. Plus I was bitten by fireworms in lips, shoulder and back. Staff refused to comment when we complain after getting on boat, and asked us to email office as "that's the only way they can help". Outcome? The office refused to refund. Won't come again and recommend to anyone.
Thanks Shanon!!

5.00From the minute we arrived to the moment we stepped off, the staff was amazing and fun! It was all of our first time snorkeling (daughter is 6 and Son is 12) and we can’t wait to do it again when we come back. Shanon observed my daughter being a little afraid so she asked if she would like to join her on the paddle board. Shanon was very knowledgeable and easy going that my daughter no longer wanted to head towards the boat. We not only observed all kinds of fishes but up to 5 turtles one being right in front of us! The snacks on board after snorkeling definitely hit the spot and the music was the cherry on top. Thanks peeps!
Fun for the whole family!
