We had the most wonderful time with Mike on the boat and snorkeling. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and really took the time and effort to point things out and explain things to us. I have never had such an amazing snorkeling experience with all the wildlife we saw. Rays, sharks, turtles, fishes of all kinds - it was a once in a lifetime experience for me for sure. It was a lot of swimming so definitely request a life vest if you’re not a strong swimmer. I would highly recommend.
Great time
