100% recomend this tour. The crew were incredible. Conditions were perfect and the water crystal clear. There were a few other tours on the reef but this crew knows the spot! Jumped in amongst a large school of fish and then they took us straight to a congregation of around 8 turtles that were happy to swim amongst us, providing very close encounters so you can take in their beauty and get lots of footage.
All the turtles

Riding on the boat itself was fun, it's fast! Enjoyed snorkeling as well, lots of fish and saw 3 turtles. It feels like it goes by quickly but it's a good time. Captain and guide are very laid back.
Amazing Snorkeling Trip

Absolutely fantastic. The entire experience was worth getting up. I highly recommend this tour as the captain and snorkel guide were great. Santigo knew everything about the fish and wildlife we were seeing. Seeing the turtles unhurried and in the natural habitat was the highlight. I would do it again over and over.
Turtles galore!

The boat was fast getting there and maximizing our swim. The small group was welcome when compared to other groups in the water and our guide was incredibly patient with a lady on our boat who didn’t know how to swim!

Fantastic captain & crew (the crew is the person who founded us in the water. This boat only takes six people at a time which is really nice because some of the other boats had as many as 30 people at a time. They also let me snorkel without any kind of flotation on which I don't need because I have experience. They did a nice job making sure everybody had fun saw the turtles and stayed safe. I saw at least 20 different turtles in the hour plus that we were in the water.
Yay
