The whole experience was amazing and a once in a lifetime. Did this tour to celebrate my partners 60th birthday and there were 4 of us who did it. The tour was delayed by a couple of hours due to the strong current but this shows that the operators take safety seriously. You initially walk out into the lagoon for safety instructions and then get on a small rubber boat that takes you out further. Then you get off the boat and are suddenly surrounded by beautiful turtles and lots of other amazing sea life. A couple of us were not overly confident in the water but the crew made us feel safe and supported and did not leave our sides. All of the staff were wonderful from start to finish. The photos and videos are more spectacular than we ever imagined. This is a must do and great value for the price.

This was an amazing experience! The guides were excellent. They were very attentive to your safety and ensuring that you had a great experience by pointing out turtles and fish, etc. I would highly recommend this to all of my friends. Make sure you do with this company because they bring you back to shore via a zodiac. We saw that some of the other tours were making people walk back.

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.

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 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.

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.
