Wonderful experience. Dani was an awesome guide and we saw wildlife we never would have seen during the day or on our own.
Fantastic experience! Had a great time and saw so much life! Excellent instruction and pacing around the reef.
Dani provides an excellent experience. Not only is he friendly and helpful, he also provided some things which other guides I had worked with on the island did not. He provided a safety briefing, which was comforting, as well as tips for how not to damage the reef through carelessness or lack of knowing. These two things set him apart from other people we worked with while on the island. Plus he was just a good dude. Thank you, Dani.
This was truly a magical experience! Mario was a great guide - he showed us a whole new side of the reef that we had no idea existed. We saw lobsters, 3 octopi, pufferfish, a squid, and a little eel among many other creatures If you've only snorkeled during the day, there's a whole other world down there - let Mario show it to you! Logistically, this company was super easy to deal with. Dani communicated to get all the details set up, and Mario picked us up and helped us get ready. Highly recommend them both!
This was a wonderful experience. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the reserve. During the snorkel we saw lots of sea life including octopus. We felt comfortable the entire time. I would recommend this tour.
Dani and Mario were so great to work with! The communication was great and Mario even picked us up and dropped us off after our tour. Mario was very clear about safety and was really good at pointing out all the cool creatures he found during the snorkeling tour. Such an amazing experience that was made so much better by both Dani and Mario. I highly recommend!!
It was a last minute booking a d Dani was great communicating the day before. Pick up on time, super easy. The snorkel was super cool, saw lots sealife, and glow in dark corals.
The night snorkel adventure was fantastic, what a memorable experience. Mario was an incredible guide with plenty of experience. You will feel safe and have a wonderful time. Highly recommend.
Mario, was a passionate & enthusiastic guide who takes you on an unforgettable snorkeling adventure. Despite the rough conditions, we still managed to catch a bunch of Roatan's "night" species, including lobsters, sea urchins, lionfish, and some animals that I have never seen before! The highlight of the tour was when Mario used a UV Flashlight to spot all of the "glowing" corals on the reef. Despite this amazing experience, I reluctantly did not give the tour a 5-Star rating, simply because the Operator did not provide/include flippers as part of this tour. As an experienced swimmer, given the distances we swam and the conditions precedent on the night of our tour, we should have never gone out that far without all of the customary snorkeling gear.
Hi Arik, Thank you for your kind regards and review. We really appreciate your booking and the time you spent drafting this review and voicing your concerns. Nonetheless, it makes me a little sad to see that you had such an amazing experience and still did not give us 5 stars. When you made your reservation, we informed you that we don't encourage the use of fins since you come really close to the reef. We don’t use fins to protect the reef, our main attraction. When I started doing tours I would use them in every tour and guess what, a lot of our guests were hitting the reef with their fins. I didn’t want to be part of the destruction of our reefs, which are tied to our livelihoods. Since I stopped encouraging them, not a single person on our tours has hit the reef. Also, just FYI, we’ve never had any problems whatsoever with any of our guests who book our snorkel tours, we go as far as our guests abilities permit. You must’ve been able and apt if you went as far as you mentioned. It is kind of contradictory to say "Go on a calm day" and "we should have never gone out that far" since you did it because you could in the first place. Our number 1 priority is safety and Mario (the only other guide besides me who does night snorkels) and I make sure to understand our guests capabilities before heading out. I'm sure that he confirmed that you were an experienced swimmer and tailored the tour to your expertise. This is how I have trained him to do with all of our guests. If I knew you needed the fins, I would’ve asked Mario to bring a pair for you, but you didn’t seem to care. You said “looking forward” when I mentioned that we don't use fins to protect the reef. Anyways, that’s my fault. I apologize if I didn’t catch that you needed fins. Just FYI, fins are not necessary for snorkeling. In fact, they are designed for diving or free diving. When snorkeling, they actually get in the way. Snorkeling is about floating, not swimming, so you don't really need the momentum that fins give you. You would be amazed the number of people who snorkel and have fin problems. But that is actually not the main concern, it is the fact that people hit the reef with them. I'm an animal's advocate and a vegetarian, I love the sea and want to protect our ocean, so not using fins will always be encouraged by me, especially cause I know first hand what they do to the reef when in hands of non-professionals (90% of the people). Even people who tell me they have snorkeled before and are "pros" were hitting the reef with their fins, simply disheartening. Moreover, our tour description does say: "Use of Fins is not encouraged. However, if you need them, please do let us know in advance." This way, to make sure our guests let us know if they feel the need for them. Finally, please let us know if you come back again and we will definitely have fins for you next time. We will also offer you a little discount to make it up to you in some way.
Danny is a terrific guide. He made me feel safe snorkeling in the night waters. I saw many things that you don't see during the day. Highly recommend!
