Descent Snorkeling Experience

3.00Once we got in the water, the snorkeling was pretty good. Our guide, Carlos, took a bunch of videos and shared them afterwards. However, logistically the company needs to reconsider some things. Was picked up in a pretty beat up vehicle that did not have seat belts in the back seat and had a significant gas leak thus both my wife and I had a headache from the fumes once we arrived. They got us a taxi for the ride back to the cruise port, but the driver was upset and rude.
Great experience

4.00Had a wonderful time and would recommend. Everyone was accommodating even the last minute request to add two people. I would recommend bringing your own gear so it fit properly but their gear works for most.
Great Snorkeling Tour

5.00Great spot. Good equipment and safety. So much easier to go with a great guide like than on your own. And they picked me up so I didn't need to worry about getting there. Lots of fishes to see and the guide could tell us something about them. I saw a sting ray too.
Amazing snorkeling! So many fish!

Great Time With a Variety of Snorkelers

5.00We enjoyed a great time with some very knowledgeable staff members. There were 9 people in our group (2 seniors and a couple with five children ranging from 10-19.) There was another couple who was not in our group. The meeting place was a bit unclear but the tour/taxi people outside the port area knew where we should stand. They split us up into two groups. Four adults in one group and the family in another. it was a challenging snorkel against the current but the grid brought a tow in case one of us needed a break. We snorkeled out to the reef and it was great. It was an easy way back, stopping at a boat wreck. There was lots to look at. The other group had a beginner and she did very will with assistance. We would highly recommend them. The staff was great and very helpful
We had a great time...

5.00Carlos was our tour guide and it was my first time snorkelling. He explained everything very well (and multiple times!) , and was extremely patient with me and my friend. While snorkelling, he continuously made sure that we were OK, and even entertained us by showing sea flowers that popped back inside the rocks. We saw a lot of coral reefs, a shipwreck, and so many fish. My friend and I never felt unsafe as he always made sure to stay close to us. Carlos' service was amazing! He picked us up from the hotel, and dropped us back at our spot. He was friendly, and fun to chat with. Just a tip, if you are in an Airbnb, he can also pick you up there too! I highly recommend this snorkelling tour.

4.00Carlos was AWESOME. He was very knowledgeable and caring of his group. He explained everything in detail and was very thorough. My only suggestion is Carlos should stay more with the group. He is a great swimmer but he was little far ahead for me when I needed him. Other than that, he was GREAT.
Nice snorkel
