What travelers are saying
Clients had an excellent time on this excursion!
outstanding tour and very relaxing. We got to see beautiful sea life and we also saw a bunch of turtles at turtle town. So much fun and a great, kind and knowledgeable staff.
Excellent professional staff. Staff took time to engage with my kids directly and helped them feel engaged. Good boat, with easy water entry/exit for snorkeling. Food was great. Length of trip was just right. Snorkeling abd reef health was decent (about as good as i've ever seen in the past 10-15 years for a well-visited location). Trip.was early enough in the day for pretty good visibility in the water.
Such an amazing tour from teaching about the conservation of local ocean life to allowing to interact with the ocean life in real time! We saw so many wonderful sea animals during our snorkeling and even got to whale watch as well while cruising to our snorkel sites. The entire staff was amazing and truly made us feel welcome and cared for the entire time. Thank you for teaching my family how important it is to be involved in ocean life conservation we appreciate you guys so much!
fun
My clients loved this excursion ---saw a lot of turtles! It was the perfect way to start their honeymoon.
The staff was wonderful. So friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this adventure. Well worth your time and money.
What a fun experience! The captain and crew were amazing! Was grateful for the Snorkeling 101 captain gave before getting in the water.
