5.00The crew for this Turtle Canyon Snorkle Cruise were terrific! Some of us had never snorkled before and were nervous, but they gave us all the help we needed and we felt confident. We saw turtles, spinner dolphins, lots of different kinds of fish, and even whales spouting! Highly recommended.
Amazing turtle experience!

5.00The whole crew was amazing. We saw over two dozen turtles and beautiful reef fish. The boat was clean and they offered lots of juices and water. Friendly, professional, and read the group really well. I started to feel a little sick during the trip and a crew member (i believe her name was Ella) knew I wasn’t feeling well before even I knew. She was so kind and helpful. Thank you so much for an awesome experience!!

5.00We had a lovely experience with the crew. Despite the weather not being the best, all attempts were made to allow us to see a few turtles. We felt very well cared for and would happily recommend this company to anyone interested in a sightseeing tour.
Hi Ocean Charters 10/10!

5.00HI Ocean Charters was 10/10, and I would recommend to anyone looking for exceptional service and an exception snorkeling experience. We were a group of 10, ranging from 4 to 71 and the crew were amazing with our four kids 7 and under. They catered to our kids and helped them snorkel so the adults/parents could enjoy our own experience. We saw sea turtle, reefs, tropical fish and hump backs all in 2 hours. Gear was comfortable and functional. The small group experience is the way to go vs the large 40+ person boats. Crew were extremely friendly and very accommodating. Would highly recommend!
Excellent
