40th Birthday Excursion

Brandi_S, Jun 2023

This excursion was a little oversold in my opinion. The snorkeling with sharks was unguided. You just get in the water under a pier and search for them. There were tiny crabs on the poles of the dock. The area for the sharks, stingray, and dolphins is very small and confined. I hated seeing them in such small living quarters. Though dolphins weren’t included, they were in the same area and swam to the edges of their habitat as if to say hello.

An excellent excursion!

Great trip, great crew, no wait, great snorkeling spot and loved the swimming with sharks and touching a stingray. Water was rough and they worked around it very well. We had a blast and exactly as described. We did get to the dolphins and they can right up to us. Our family enjoyed the excursion and drinks were family friendly as was the music in the boat. The crew was very friendly and fun!

There were 6 of us on this experience and we really enjoyed the whole afternoon. The crew on Sunpro Sun boat ensured that everyone had a great time and could participate in the shark and stingray encounter in the marine enclosures, including non-swimmers. It was a pity the photos were so dear.

We loved this one! The description does not to do it justice! We got to snorkel with fish, then sharks, then hold a stingray, get kissed by a sea lion, watch a sea lion show, and it all followed up with a huge party in the natural pool with a ton of other people. So much fun!

Where do I begin So me and my boyfriend booked a shark and stingray encounter through via tour which cost like £50 each and we got more than what the package is even worth. So to begin with we was picked up and taken to a beach where we got on a speedboat that took us to like a catamaran that was spacious. They supplied fruit and drink and the staff were the most friendliest and amazing guys ever. We thought we was just going snorkelling before going to see sharks and stingrays but no this went above and beyond. The snorkelling was great in the clearest sea ever and then we went to a private place that had the sharks and stingrays secluded so that we could get in with them. But before we got in we all got the chance to see the Dolphins and even see a sea lion that they had. Once we walked across the pier type area we snorkelled with around 18 nurse sharks in one area. It wAs incredible! The staff made sure everyone was safe and then we moved onto the stingrays which have had their sting removed so they are harmless and had many photo opportunities and even held the stingrays. We thought surely it must be it to be told that we was seeing a sea lion up close. When I say my dreams came true we all got single pictures of the sea lion kissing everyone. This was something that no one expected. After we watched the sea lion show and got back on the boat and was treated to alcoholic drinks and refreshments. This excursion was amazing for how much we did for the price. So much more was done and I couldn't recommend a better excision for anyone to go on. Truly is an amazing experience.
