The guide was late to our private tour but was nice and attentive. The weather the day we went was windy and the waters were extremely choppy. We tried our best but it felt unsafe for beginner snorkelers, so we ended our private tour early. The guide did offer to take us to another location later that day but we declined. This isn’t a reflection on the company overall (obviously they can’t control the weather). I just want to share our experience so beginners know what to expect on windy days.

My solo snorkeling tour was spectacular thanks to Isaac. I am a little nervous (to say the least) in the water but he put me at ease right away. First, warm greeting and super helpful gear check: he made sure I was fully comfortable. During snorkeling he kept checking on my comfort level which made my experience truly memorable. Thank you, Isaac, for your genuine care.

This was an amazing experience and highly recommend it to others. Pipa was so patient and helpful with us for our first ocean snorkeling adventure. Our photos and videos will be cherished forever.

Absolutely wonderful private snorkel. Due to expected rough conditions at the original location, the snorkeling at Little Bay was amazing. Communication about the change was complete and very clear. Pippa was a great guide and all equipment was perfect.

Great way to start my trip in Sydney. I had a great time. The guide was friendly and knew so much about the fish and marine life. Thick wetsuits helped me keep warm the whole time. Best snorkeling I’ve done.
