    Great trip with experienced and knowledgeable guides. Small groups. Very attentive to confidence of swimmers and immediately helped when needed. It was amazing to swim with these turtles.

    10 / 5 stars. Incredible experience!! Can’t beat it. The owner and his crew were phenomenal, and they genuinely care about giving a great experience while caring for the environment. Don’t waste your money on the sea scooter tours, care for the place and save a ton of cash to spend elsewhere.

  • Amazing experience!

    This was my second time going on this tour and I took my very excited aunty-in-law who absolutely raved about the experience! It was just as good, if not better than the first time I went. We saw so many turtles and even eagle rays. My aunty-in-law was well supported by one of the instructors as she was not super confident in the water. We had an amazing time and would give more than 5 stars if I could!!

    These jokers stole our anti-fog from our bag, and then passed it around the group for everyone to use. When I later confronted them about it, they said "Oh was that yours? We thought it was ours". To get to it, they had to dig through our personal belongings in our bag which was stored in a "secure" box on their deck. Their site says that they have one guide per six participants. It's not even close - it's more like 15 per guide, and that's counting the baby of the owner as one of the guides 🤦 Later, during the snorkling, they "test" everyone's snorkling ability by walking out into the shallows, dropping onto your stomach, while they watch you swim. We're talking about six inches of water here. I'm a skinny guy and my whole body was still on the sea bed, and I had to pull myself along with my arms along the sand - no idea how chunkier people even managed to pull themselves along at all. A joke of a test, and it was just pure luck that everyone there seemed to be relatively competent swimmers. While we were out at sea, they'd brought a surf board with them in case anyone needed rescuing. Except the surf board had a one year old on it that was the owner's child. If someone got into trouble, which do you think is going to have use of the board - you, or their child? The couple of photos I've attached are of the waiting area at the beach - notice the baby? That counts as one of their guides I guess. On the way back in, the leader, Joshua, walked everyone back in an arch shape over the reef. We noticed that other groups from other snorkling places just walked straight back onto the beach. He explained to us, as we were crushing delicate coral beneath our feet, that he was taking us that way because the current was stronger and "to show you why you shouldn't be out here alone". Let that sink in for a minute. He's telling people that paid for a snorkel experience with a snorkel guide, why they should book with a guide, while simultaneously destroying 300m of coral unnecessarily. I'm amazed these jokers have such good reviews. I guess people are just happy that they saw a turtle without looking at the whole experience objectively. If you go snorkeling, go with another company that isn't stealing your stuff and trampling on coral unnecessarily to prove a point.

    We had a great time on our sunrise turtle snorkel trip. We were the first group in the water at 6am which was such a peaceful experience. We saw plenty of turtles and Eagle rays, along with many varieties of cool corals and reef fish. Highly recommend this company over all the others- their care for the environment is unparalleled

    What an amazing experience. The team were awesome, and water health & safety was amazing. If we didn't feel confident to swim especially with the current on the day it was easy to reschedule. Very well priced that didn't disappoint, would definitely recommend and do again. Absolutely support the petition to keep the passage users environmentally responsible to preserve the marine life and water quality. Keep up the fabulous work :)
