Highlight of the entire trip!

Absolutely unforgettable experience! Swimming with turtles and seeing eagle rays in the wild was beyond anything we could have imagined. From the moment we got into the water, it felt like a dream—graceful turtles gliding past us and eagle rays soaring effortlessly below. It was hands-down the best day of our entire trip. The experience was well organised, respectful of the animals, and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. Moments like this are truly once-in-a-lifetime, and we’ll be talking about it forever. If you’re even considering doing this—do it. You won’t regret it for a second. Shout out to every single guide with us. Constantly asking if we were okay, assisting those along who weren’t very good at swimming and ensuring we all had the opportunity to get photos with the turtles.

An awesome tour with great guides and lifeguards. The smaller numbers allows for a more intimate tour with local history added in.

What an amazing tour. This is so well organised! You go out in groups of 4-6, the guides are really good at spotting and finding turtles and even better photos and videos after. The entire thing is great value for money and excellent service. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

A must do!!!

A once in a life- time experience but would certainly do again if I get the chance. 10 of us went and was a highlight of the trip for sure. Felt safe and looked after the whole time. A friendly bunch who were very welcoming and reassuring. They went to the trouble of towing a 7yr old child around to snorkel with the turtles and she was absolutely buzzing. Highly recommended.

Best experience of our holiday

Greg_L, Jul 2025
Experience was fantastic, a bucket list item for us. Dan & his team were very helpful and made us feel safe. The sea scooters were easy to use & made it effortless to glide around to enjoy the turtles. Photos that we received at the end were excellent. Small group is definitely the best way to see the turtles. Thoroughly would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2025
