We had a wonderful private tour swimming with turtles which was lead by our amazing guide ARNUS SOFIA. It was a beautiful beach with crystal blue watet and we were extremely lucky to see many gorgeous turtles.

We had an amazing morning snorkelling with the turtles. We booked a private tour for our family and had Diego as our guide. He was brilliant- and so patient with our daughter who got very scared initially. Any other guide would likely have just left her to it, but he encouraged her to sit on the life buoy and to help him tell us when turtles were close. He also chatted to her about sea life, and by the end of the session she had felt brave enough to go in the water and try snorkelling. I think Diego really made the tour for us as he did just the right amount of chatting, gave good info but also left us time to relax. The private tour was expensive but worth every penny as it meant we could go at our own pace and it did not feel very crowded. We got there nice and early and had a lovely swim before the big groups started to arrive. We had the photographer join us and you can pay to buy the photos taken in the water. The photos were amazing and we thought the price was good too. Overally fantastic experience!!! If we came back we would do the WHale Shark tour!

Very fun, I recommend it for teenagers and adults, not minors because of the waves, very much because they pass by you to your hotel and return
Very good
