1.00They cancelled the excursion less than 12 hours before start time. Said there was not enough people to make it worth their time. Two days later, I still have not received a refund. And, it should be noted, they avoided any use of the Viator platform when canceling the excursion.

5.00The staff including Captain JoJo, Kelley and Whitney were phenomenal! Very attentive, informative, and professional. Ftom the time i arrived through the end of the excursion was a great experience. We saw many turtles and enjoyed the time in the boat as much as in the water. Highly recommend this turtle excursion! Also, the transportation was on time and prompt both arriving and returning!

5.00Snorkelling with the turtles was absolutely unforgettable. We saw several turtles up close – some resting on the ocean floor, others swimming right by us without a care in the world. They were majestic and peaceful. Topper, Sofia & Natalie were knowledgeable and respectful of the sea life, making sure we kept a safe and non intrusive distance. Highly recommend!
Great crew, great views...
