Lorraine_K

It was great! The crew was so friendly and helpful. We had the best time snorkeling around the statues and spotting fish. I enjoyed snorkeling the reef the best because there was so many varieties of beautiful coloured fish. Hernando was especially helpful to my husband who found it difficult getting on and off the boat. (We are in our sixties). It was a brilliant day and a great atmosphere on the boat with everyone chatting to eachother. I would definitely recommend it 100% Thank you all

Brilliant day snorkeling

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Lorraine, Thank you so much for your lovely review — it really made us smile. We’re so happy to hear you had such a great day snorkeling at MUSA and on the reef. The statues are always special, and the reef is definitely a favorite for all the color and variety of fish. I’m especially glad to hear that Fernando was there to help your husband and make getting on and off the boat easier — our crew truly cares about making everyone feel comfortable and supported, no matter their age or experience. It sounds like you had exactly the kind of relaxed, fun atmosphere we hope for on our boats. Thank you for recommending us — we really appreciate it and would love to welcome you back anytime.

Solid Snorkeling adventure!

Daniel_W, Jul 2025

Really friendly, knowledgeable staff. Lots of time to snorkel. Shared boat with Scuba divers (in our case), all good! Appreciate how easy and straightforward this experience was, and that we got to see so many cool things in the water at MUSA!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Warm regards, The Aqua Adventures Team 🐟💙

Zero communication chaos

Bobbie_R, Aug 2024

Trip was very unorganized. No effort by guide or office to explain change of itinerary. Company combined passengers that paid for different packages on same small boat. We only were allowed to snorkel small portion of MUSA, while other passengers waited on boat. Stranded over 1 hour (until other passengers ready) in tourist zone beach area with vendors that was not part of our tour. Wasted a lot of time with minimal enjoyment at best.

You will leave as a family

Laila_J, May 2024

Everything was wonderful, everyone was so nice and the price is really good compared to another tours, they offered us water and took us to a restaurant to eat a really good fish, instructors were really nice 😊 definitely beyond of what we expected

Unda da sea 🎶

Kimberly_K, May 2024

We saw so many beautiful things under the water. This was a great experience, but the motion of the ocean made me a little sea sick on the second spot. Glad I powered through because the reef was beautiful. All of the crew was friendly and accommodating. I don’t think I’ve ever been on an excursion where all of the crew members seemed to love their job so much. It made a huge difference!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to have the pleasure of diving with you again in the future. Warm regards, Jessica

We loved seeing the underwater museum. The guides were friendly and helpful. My snorkel was damaged and one of the guides immediately let me use his. It was a good trip.
