    This is a wonderful snorkeling experience. They made it easy enough for beginners and also fun for experienced snorkelers. I got to see probably at least 8 black tip reef sharks! It is an awesome experience! It is definitely worth taking this excursion!!

    Snorkeling Fun

    Ray_M, Jun 2026
    Awesome time, you may occasionally run into a black tip shark, I started snorkeling on my own and a 5 or 6 foot Black Tip swam right in front of me and that scared me back to the group and boat, LOL but it was a blast!!!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you for your feedback, Ray! It is true that black tips sharks can sometimes be very curious, but they remain harmless. It's understandable that it may seem impressive to see them getting so close! What an experience! Thank you for choosing our company for your half-day snorkeling. Looking forward to seeing you again!

    Amazing snorkel Experience like no other

    Gina_L, May 2026
    Everything was wonderful. Tama and Jess were so welcoming and so knowledgeable and helpful. Very comfortable boat and loved that Jess was a marine biologist with so much information to share. Guided us through the most amazing coral garden with amazing snorkeling that will ruin all other sites for us because it was so spectacular. Then a lovely snack and swimming with the sharks. It is wonderful excursion.Hope to go again!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Not an easy drift snorkel

    Vicki_P, Apr 2026
    The boat was excellent, like new. The snorkeling was difficult without fins. We are experienced snorkelers, but really worked against the incoming currents to reach the place where we could drift back to the boat. The swim with the sharks experience was fun and our guides were very attentive. We even received underwater photos and videos from our tour operator. Fun day!

    Outstanding snorkeling tour

    TimothyRobert_V, Mar 2026
    We arrived via cruise ship. We needed to tender and I did notify them as it would take a bit longer to reach pier. No problem, the boat & captain Arii was there with a sign and our name. We were very fortunate to have only 4 guests total tour. Amazing Coral gardens and so many black tip sharks! Also saw a large manta ray. Very beautiful new boat. Excellent day!!! Captain Arii also had a drone. He took many videos and shared them with us. I will be sharing his tour company with our travel friends.
