I had an amazing time!!! My tour guide was Sheila and she was absolutely excellent. I had never snorkeled before, but Sheila was great at giving instructions. The order of the tour was great - we started out on the land for a few minutes to get used to breathing through the snorkel, while the tour guide gave a brief overview of the tour and some information about the area. We got to see turtles and plenty fish, as well as the reef and a collapsed bridge under the water. Some of the turtles got super close and it was beautiful to see them. The day of the tour it was raining, so I was a little worried that it might be hard to find things under the water, but after a few minutes of searching we were able to find turtles. I’d definitely recommend this activity to other travelers!

We had such a wonderful experience with our guide Garret. He studied marine biology in university and had all these interesting facts about the corals and marine animals. Took great pictures and videos for us and kept a watch on everyone and had well timed breaks when people were tired. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it.

Shayla was our instructor. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and sweet. She took us all over and gave us an amazing experience. We were able to see a lot of different fish, lobsters, and we swam with a sea turtle and in a school of beautiful blue fish. I definitely recommend it and would do it again. 10/10!

This was a wonderful experience, the guide was great and made sure we all got to see the turtle that she found. She also took lots of pictures and videos that she was able to airdrop to all of us at the end of the tour.

This was a fun off shore experience. You do get to see a lot of fish. We did see one turtle.
This was worth the price.

Dont book for the day you arrive because they’ll give you the run around about changing your date or a refund when your plane literally held you back.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Nobody is giving anyone the run around. You still haven’t responded to our request.
