Very nice excursion. We got a good briefing beforehand. Weather was nice. You go with a small boat to a nearby place where there is something to see. Went smoothly. We saw many fish and a few turtles. The guide was good, keeping an eye that everyone followed her and alerting when there was something to spot. I went with my husband and our 3 daugthers (17,14 and 10 years old) and we all loved it!

Really well organised and lots of safety in place. We saw loads of fish and some sea turtles. Staff were all really friendly and helpful.

Great trip pick you up and drop you back to the hotel. Need to be a strong swimmer. But the instructors very helpful and knowledgeable and always there to help.

We were told that we were picked up at the hotel but this operator did not offer hotel pickup and we ran out of excursion after 1 hour of waiting and no longer gave us time to organize anything that day

Buenas tardes
Gracias por la respuesta, pero estaba buscando y en algún lugar Atlantic Star señala su hotel como posible lugar de recogida.

Leider war diese Schnorcheltour das Gegenteil von NO STRESS. Sobald wir im Wasser waren, musste man sehr zügig dem Guide hinterher, in Ruhe die Meereslebewesen zu beobachten war also leider nicht... Wir waren in der Gruppe insgesamt mit 14 Personen..Nach kurzer Zeit kam noch eine weitere Gruppe dazu. Als dann beide Gruppen zusammen trafen musste man echt aufpassen, dass man keine anderen Flossen ins Gesicht bekommt. Am Ende der Tour sollte man ein Wrack sehen. Leider waren es nur noch ein paar Holzbretter. Unter einem Wrack haben wir uns etwas anderes vorgestellt. Diese Tour können wir leider nicht empfehlen, wir waren durchgängig gehetzt....
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Es tut uns sehr leid zu hören, dass Sie die Schnorcheltour als gehetzt empfunden haben und die Zeit zum Beobachten der Meereslebewesen nicht ausreichend war. Wir nehmen Ihr Feedback sehr ernst und werden den Ablauf und die Gruppengröße prüfen, um sicherzustellen, dass zukünftige Touren entspannter und angenehmer für alle Teilnehmer sind

Esperienza molto interessante con una vista davvero molto carina, abbiamo avvistato molti animali marini.
Molto bella e consigliata sebbene con le onde sia abbastanza inpegnativa ma ne vale davvero la pena.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Ciao Andrea_B, grazie mille per la tua fantastica recensione! Siamo felici che tu abbia avuto un'esperienza interessante e che tu abbia avvistato tanti animali marini. Anche con le onde impegnative, è bello sapere che ne è valsa la pena. Ti aspettiamo per nuove avventure marine! 🌊🐠🚤

La experiencia es muy chula....pero las explicaciones solo las dieron en inglés. Si seleccionas la opción de guia en español y no es posible, creo que deberían avisarlo antes
Response from Host, Aug 2024
¡Hola Cristina!
Gracias por tu reseña y por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la excursión de snorkel. 😊

Esperamos tener la oportunidad de darte la bienvenida nuevamente y ofrecerte una experiencia aún mejor.
¡Saludos! 🌊🐠

Quoi de plus exceptionnel qu'exceptionnel! Un guide incroyablement sympathique. On ne parle pas d'autre langue que le français, il s'exprime très bien en français. Il nous a fait découvrir des endroits magnifiques. La baignade avec les requins était fantastique, même si cela fait un peu peur. La beauté du lac de sel est incroyable. Une expérience incroyable. Encore une journée passée avec lui. Super.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Merci pour ce merveilleux commentaire, Alexandre_A! 😊 Il semblerait que l'excursion snorkeling avec Atlantic Star ait été une expérience inoubliable. Le guide francophone a su vous faire découvrir des endroits magnifiques, et nager avec les requins a ajouté une dose d'adrénaline à votre aventure.

Super Tour, top Organisation, nur zu empfehlen. Gute Vorbereitung, alles was man an Ausrüstung haben möchte, bekommt man auch.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
