5.00I'm grateful to the team for this wonderful day! I already had a bad experience with another company, so I can confidently say: these guys are professionals! The guys worked seamlessly together: instructions were given and we were divided into small groups, which was very convenient. Our group guide was Nicholas. Nicholas takes his work with great passion and responsibility, and that's inspiring!
Overall worthwhile and really wanted guides!

4.00Overall a great and well organized trip! Sympathetic, pleasant and professional atmospheres. There are currently 2 turtles living in the area that can be seen (if you find them). Overall, a significantly larger group than indicated is about 30, but you are divided into small groups with one guide and 2 scooters each, we were for example about 5-6 per group. The guides have done really great, check in if everyone is okay and helped with everything. They also tried to equalize everything a bit, but when the first turtle is seen, unfortunately everyone is still in a heap and it can get very tight.
A great experience

5.00We got to hang out with the beautiful logger head turtles! They did not seem to mind at all. Loved having the water scooters too! It was a bit chilly in October already, so I do wish they offered wetsuits (they do in May). Also, I do wish they made a point to take photos of the guests with the turtles and the area we saw with the ancient pottery made for a choppy swim, so if asked, I would skip that area, but definitely worth hanging with the turtles!
Phenomenal experience
