Roque and Marlo are very experienced tour guides. It was a wonderful experience that I wished would never end. Not only were we wearing life jackets but we held on to a float ring where Marlo would lead us to good spots to see the turtles and schools of fishes while Roque would go down even under a coral and video us with his go pro. We were so lucky that day to ride on the boat through calm waters, good weather and lots of dolphins. I did not want to stop snorkeling because I really felt safer with the 2 of them on our side all the time. I would come back again in an heartbeat and bring my sons and husband to experience this wonderful favorite activity of ours and that is snorkeling. Great snorkeling trip and good food too.
Small but very hospitable staff Pickup and drop off was arranged without issue Food on island nice
Rocky our guide was amazing, and helped us capture some really good pictures! He guided us on our snorkeling adventures, and was very informative. Thank you for a spectacular experience
Was much more expensive than other tours but likely worth it. Only 7 people on our catamaran and we had our own guide during snorkeling. Our main guide was friendly, helpful and communicated the processes and schedule well. Guides took underwater photos with GoPro (for no extra fee). Excellent lunch. No dolphins but lots of turtles. Coral was ok ( but I have high expectations). Sites were crowded but was expecting this. To improve: no fins were provided for snorkelling - this is dangerous especially when the water was very choppy (as it was). Some communication issues e.g 1) when and where to be picked up 2) you need to walk a long way out to the boat at low tide in muddy conditions so need correct footwear 3) I arrived at the lunch spot after snorkeling with no access to my bag with my glasses in it so couldn't see and had to walk far on rocks and coral ( luckily I was wearing swim shoes). Also still waiting to receive photos they took with GoPro.
Rocky and Kulot were absolutely amazing. They have ushered me and partner and ensured that we enjoyed our tour.
An amazing day in Bohol. Super attentive staff! Dive with turtles and help us in everything! Crystalline waters.
