5.00Nil is the best guid ever. This was my first time really snorkeling and Ni was patient, kind, and kept checking on me to make sure I was ok. He even helped me put my flippers on (first time wearing them) and helped me adjust my snorkel mask for a better experience. He even took great pictures underwater that I will be able to view for a lifetime. You won’t be disappointed.
Amazing private tour!

5.00Nik is incredible! He customized a tour for our family of five that included two snorkeling spots, a delicious lunch at a farmer’s market, and river trekking with swimming under a giant waterfall. Even though it was peak summer vacation, it felt wonderfully private because he took us to secluded snorkeling spots that only experienced tour guides go. In both places we were nearly the only ones there! He cares for everything from equipment, to cold drinks, to even a portable water tank for rinsing off. So knowledgeable about local fish and fauna, and knew all the spots to take great photos. And we loved getting underwater photos and videos from him after! I really can’t recommend Nik enough. We will be back to experience more - we want to try his mangrove kayaking experience and hopefully more snorkeling. Thank you, Nik!
Great Snorkeling Experience with Awesome Guide!

5.00This was a great snorkeling experience that I would recommend for experienced snorkelers and beginners alike. Our guide Nick was friendly, and allowed us to explore the rock pools as we pleased. We was as hands on or off as we wanted, which was great. The sea life was beautiful, and Nick took us out on some really cool rocks that I may have been too hesitant to venture to on my own. Definitely recommend!
