The crew was very nice and attentive! We had a wonderful time, we saw a turtle, a nurse shark and a bunch of fish. Our guide Shawn was amazing! My friend was very scared and Shawn was so understanding and helped her overcome her fear. We would do it again and definitely recommend. You won’t be disappointed!

We booked a group snorkeling outing. It was super easy and the staff was very friendly, easy going and professional. Shawn was our guide and she was amazing! We saw the most beautiful sea life including sea turtles, an octopus along with schools of brightly colored tropical fish. The coral reef was alive and gorgeous

We had a wonderful time on this tour! Saw turtles, a crab and lots of fish! We were supposed to go the day before but with the tour guide made the decision out of safety to postpone or cancel due to crazy winds. They took our safety, time, and money into consideration which is much appreciated. Great tour and very informative. Well worth the time and money!
Amy_C, Mar 2026
Shawn was a great guide. She was patient with participants who were scared, and helped them to safely participate. The reef is very close to the entry point, so more confident swimmers were able to check things out while still in sight of the guide helping others. A hawksbill sea turtle swam alongside me which was a highlight! My biology major daughter got to see a lot of different sponge and coral varieties she had learned about in class.
Maggie_M, Feb 2026
Our guide was adorable. The sea life was amazing (from huge turtle to teeny angels). Water was warm, clear, but choppy. We’d go again in a heartbeat - but probably try first thing in the morning when the waves are calmer.
Jordan_S, Feb 2026
Greg was an excellent guide! Highly recommend! 2 adults and 3 kids ages 17, 13 and 8 all had a great time snorkeling. Greg was very helpful, patient and personable.
Sean_M, Dec 2025

My family and I had an amazing experience. The guide was informative, reassuring, and punctual. We learned about the conservation efforts to care for the reef as well. We saw many colorful fish and swam with the sea turtles. It is an overall excellent experience!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for the great review, Jalane! It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your time on the reef. We hope you continue living in love with the underwater world!
Sharon_M, Jul 2025
This was a great snorkeling experience. We were able to see 2 turtles and a baby turtle! It was a great area to snorkel due to limited amounts of people being there and rich sea life in the area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I felt better prepared to snorkel after her info session. One thing I will point out is the excursion says 3 hours but it’s more like 2 hours in the actual water.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Sharon, thank you for taking the time to review! It is great to hear that the tips from your guide made your experience more enjoyable. We advertise that the tour takes up to 3 hours, including gear fittings, briefings, travel, and 1 hour in the water. With smaller groups, it takes less time. We hope you continue living in love with the underwater world!
Carole_B, Jul 2025
The snorkeling tour was good. We saw about 5 turtles, which is the thing i wanted to see the most. The thing that did surprise me, was for a Marina Reserve, there wasn't that many fish. And other than the turtles, we really didn't see that much. But all in all, we did enjoy ourselves. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it said it was approximately 3 hours, but we were out in 2 (only in the water for about an hour).
Response from Host, Jul 2025
It is great to hear the turtles came out to play for your tour! Sorry to hear the fish were being shy. We advertise that the tour can take up to 3 hours for check-in, gear fittings, briefings, travel, and one hour in the water. With small groups, it will take less time. We hope you continue living in love with the underwater world!

Great experience. Tiger was very knowledgeable and took effort to point out as much as he could find. We even got lucky enough to Swim with a couple Sea Turtles that we’re roaming through.

Debra_H, Jan 2025
The snorkeling was awesome. Our tour guide was the best. I loved entering the water from the beach rather than going out on a boat. It was an extremely enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for the great review, Debra! It is very nice to hear that you enjoyed the experience with us. We hope you continue living in love with the underwater world!
Stacey_Y, Jan 2025
Our tour guide, Tiger, was very knowledgable. He guided us through the waters and waved us over whenever there was something cool to see. I wouldn't recommend if you get claustraphobic though. It involves alot of heavy mouth breathing which felt similar in feeling. Would recommend if you love aquatic life and fish!!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for taking the time to review and shout out to your guide, Stacey! We are so glad to hear that you were able to enjoy seeing the aquatic life despite experiencing claustrophobic feelings. Breathing through a snorkel can be disorienting. Pro Tip: If you feel this way in the water again, take a long moment to fully relax your body and your breath. Don't allow your heart rate to stay high and do not push hard through the water. If you can't seem to beat it, always let your guide know so they can assist you if you need assistance.
Ariel_Z, Jan 2025
Really awesome. We had Greg and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. We saw turtles, sharks, barracuda and loads of fish would highly recommend.

This experience was great. So many different types of fish, amazing coral formations, and was able to swim with a sea turtle. Tiger, our guide, was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Claire was a great guide who helped us out a lot because we were first timers. It was a great experience and we saw lots of beautiful marine life that we have never seen before (squid, sea turtles, fish, coral, etc.)
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience and shout out to your guide, Connor! It is great to hear you got to see many new creatures! We hope you continue living in love with the underwater world.
Zakiyyah_S, Mar 2024
OK, so our guide, Tiger, was absolutely amazing! This was my 11 year old son and I's first time going snorkeling, and it was so great! Tiger was so patient with him (and me lol). I'm not sure how enjoyable the experience would have been with a different guide.
We experienced a morning dive, and the water was so clear and gorgeous. We saw beautiful coral, fish, and other sea life. I regret not renting the underwater cam to capture our experience, but this experience will forever live on in our memories.
Thank you, Tiger, for helping us to create such a beautiful memory together!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Congrats on a successful first snorkeling trip! Thank you for taking the time to review your experience and compliment your guide, Kia! It is really great to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time out on the reef! We hope you continue living in love with the underwater world!

Greg was a great guide. Love that we were in a reserve so we didn't need to worry about boats or obstacles. Saw a lot of fish, coral and sealife. Would recommend!

Seeing how excited my son got seeing all the fish. We are all scared of the ocean and our guide made us all feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend this for first time snorkeling.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
=) The ocean is an inspiring place. It is great to hear that you all felt safe with your guide and were able to relax and enjoy the view! Thanks for the great review. We hope you all continue living in love with the underwater world!

Our snorkel guide, Tiger was excellent. He was very good at pointing out many fish and coral in the water. We got super lucky and spotted the trifecta of sites: nurse shark, stingrays, and a turtle. Woot woot! He said its very lucky to spot all 3, so I consider it an excellent day of snorkeling for us
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Wow, yes that is very lucky! It is great to hear that you enjoyed your time with Tiger out on the reef! Thank you for taking the time to review and we hope you continue living in love with the underwater world!
