Best Snorkeling tour ever!!

5.00We got picked up at the Emerald Beach Resort parking lot, we took a taxi there because we came from our cruise ship. The excursion is about 2 hours. They furnished all the snorkeling gear, provided waters and chairs for the beach if you didn’t want snorkel the whole time. I have been snorkeling several times and have never seen so many fish and yes sea turtles!! We saw a few but went in to rest, and the other people in our group saw another 3-4. I had never seen a sea turtle before either, so amazing. Our guide was Sophie and she had so much information about which fish we were seeing and other ocean marine life and so much information on sea turtles. They take pics and you can buy for $40, which for us was just great as we didn’t want to fumble a camera around and just wanted to focus on our snorkeling sights. Really great fun tour!!

5.00Sophie was early to meet us at the parking lot and she was very cheerful and excited to guide us on our beautiful coastline snorkeling experience. She’s very informative and made sure to give everyone in our small group special attention. Sophie swam deep into the water to locate octopuses 🐙 and she swam around to find the green turtles 🐢 we were guaranteed to see. We also saw rays too.

Very Simple But Really Fun!

5.00This was a fun kind of minimalistic type excursion in that it’s very simple and laid back. Our guide Lynne did a fantastic job of guiding us around the beach front waters coming across tons of water life from a baby octopus, to Manatee, and to obviously Sea Turtles! Lots of cool sea creatures and fish but the Sea Turtles steal the show! Lynne was very knowledgeable and would swim around to highlight the next area for us to gather. She took great videos and even tho i also took very good vids during the snorkel I recommend as it’s $40 and her camera is high quality. My one recommendation is maybe tell people to look for your vehicle by description bc the parking lot of the resort was too ambiguous, and we were waiting for a while until we just got curious walking around the full parking lot.
Love it !! So many turtles

5.00If you are joining from a cruise two big things to know: 1. Your tour is in LOCAL time. The ships always emphasize staying on ship time, but that may be different from local time 2. Your meeting point is at Emerald Beach Resort in the parking lot. Google maps makes it look walkable, but it is not. Spend the $6 for a taxi. Company was flexible in rescheduling our tour when we had a mix up with cruise/ship versus local time. You will see a lot of neat wildlife, including turtles! Consider investing in a waterproof box for your phone so you can get your own videos—someone on our tour had one and was kind enough to share their photos and footage. The guide was nice and provided good knowledge and facts about the wildlife. Another major point to know is that while the snorkeling doesn’t require significant physical strength and the ocean is a gradual walk-in, you must be able to pull yourself into a pick-up truck bed that has been modified with beach seating.
