5.00We had a great time. Fahad took us to some great spots that weren’t too busy with other boats. We saw many turtles at the first spot and lots of colourful fish. At the second spot he took us to a spot on the rock mountain that allowed us to see eagle rays and baby sharks. The kids collected shells and explored the beach too. Gathas provided cold drinks, sandwiches and fruit. Highly recommend!
Outstanding trip

5.00Amazing half day trip. Not only did we see many turtles but also saw a baby shark. Fahad also took us to a beautiful white-sand beach and gave us the option of exploring or snorkelling. Unlike some of the other captains, he walked with us explaining about the surroundings and generally gave us interesting information about the local wildlife. I absolutely recommend this tour, bring a casing for your phone or better still an underwater camera and be prepared for some amazing colourful underwater wildlife 🤗
Great trip

5.00Bucket list worthy trip to snorkel and see turtles in their environment. Friendly guides, great communication before trip. Only point to improve on is more signage at the jetty to know exactly where to meet. Otherwise, a fantastic trip
