5.00We had the best time at Turtle canyon with our group. A great excursion, you won’t regret it. I recommend the photo package as well. We were a party of 9 that included two sets of grandparents. The crew was very accommodating and helpful to older participants.

4.00Cool cheap lil boat with Cummins 5.9 - decent trip extremely turbid water. Captain lady had a funny captains persona with her 50T license. Wouldn’t do it again but it was cool enough for the cheap price.

5.00Experienced trip with 65+ grandparents, 43+ children and 17 year old grandson. Really enjoyed a great trip. Saw multitudes of fish and turtles, as well as spinner dolphins. Crew was very friendly and attentive to all.
The water was nice. We had yummy snack snacks and a nice beverage and saw at least 10 turtles.

Turtle Canyon Snorkeling: Go Early or Skip It

3.00Snorkeling at Turtle Canyon was… fine, but not the showstopper I hoped for. I did spot three turtles—one underwater and two surfacing—but the crowd made it hard to really enjoy the moment. A few snorkelers got too close for comfort, forgetting the 10–15 feet of space the turtles deserve. It’s their reef, not a meet-and-greet. If you go, book the earliest trip of the day. You’ll have calmer water, fewer people, and a better chance to appreciate the turtles without feeling like you’re in a flipper traffic jam. Beautiful spot, but timing (and etiquette) make all the difference.

4.00The boat and the crew were awesome. We did buy the photography package was was a bit disappointing. Shots of us could have been better and more shots of turtles.
