Snorkel with whale sharks on a small-group tour that maximizes your time in the water. Since every boat is limited to just six snorkelers, you’ll get a more personal experience than a larger-group outing. It also means a smaller ratio of guests to tour leaders; that allows the guide to capture more of the photos and video footage that are included in the tour price.

Capped at only eight participants, this small-group tour through UNESCO-listed Espiritu Santo Island gives an intimate introduction to the stunning biodiversity hotspot, home to sea turtles, close to 100 bird species, and several varieties of marine mammal. The excursion includes complimentary snorkeling gear for a guided peek below the water.
