Snorkeling is an attractive activity for several reasons. First, it is an accessible and easy way to explore the underwater world, as it does not require specialized training, such as cylinder diving. Snorkeling allows you to observe marine life in shallow waters, providing an experience close to nature without the need for complex equipment. In addition, it is a relaxing and fun activity, ideal for those who want to have an experience of contact with the sea without getting away from the surface too much. Snorkeling is also a great option for those seeking tranquility and direct contact with marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs, fish cardumes and turtles. Our concern is to provide you with amazing experiences that will bring you to life.

Turtles everywhere 🫶

5.00Great snorkeling experience with sea turtles. The water was clear and we saw several turtles swimming calmly nearby. It was easy to follow them from a respectful distance and watch them move around naturally. Simple, relaxed but a bit cold in the end but totally worth it
Great experience under the sea

5.00Really nice experience. The gear was of good quality, and the boat was modern and of extreme high quality. The guide and the boatdriver was very nice. We saw turtles, pufferfish and a lot of other marine life. Be aware this tour requires some psysical endurance as the current can be a little strong. I would not recommend this tour to children under 12 unless they are capable swimmers. All in all it was really worth the cost and I will recommend the tour to others that want to see life below the surface
Disappointing snorkling experience

3.00Disappointing snorkling experience. Taken care of by two young locals after a lot of waiting. No safety instructions. Minimum equipment. Climbing in the boat without pontoons from the beach with the waves making the climb very unstable. Diving with lifejackets in an area not protected from wind and waves. Very average visibility and limited safety conditions. I do not recommend snorkling in these conditions
