We have been snorkeling many times over the last 12 years. This was by far the best experience. Fantastic crew, small boat, multiple locations, and we had an absolute blast.
It was a beautiful day and super fun experience. We had an awesome crew with Captain Este. On the way to the turtles, we ran into a pod of approximately 20 dolphins which was a pleasant surprise… Right off the boat! The turtle snorkel was beautiful, but we didn’t see many while we were snorkeling. We actually saw more from the boat then when we were in the water. Going over to the crater to snorkel was stunning. It was the clearest water we have ever snorkeled in. Plus they gave you lunch, which was a lovely added bonus. Highly recommend for families. Make sure you are a strong swimmer!
We had the best crew with captain Este and his team. We saw a ton of turtles both from the boat and while snorkeling. We were also lucky enough to come up on a pod of 20 dolphins which was epic! The crater snorkeling was the icing on the cake. Clearest water we have ever seen.
This was a near perfect excursion. Both stops were fantastic. The sandwiches provided were a nice surprise. We did hit a few whitecaps on the way back. The captain tried minimizing them. Other than that it was an awesome trip.
Awesome experience! we got to see lots of sea turtle, we got snacks and drinks. Equipment was clean, not a big group of people which is nice, we recommend!
Excellent guides, beautiful fun experience. Loved being on a smaller faster boat with the wind in my hair!
If I could give this snorkeling adventure more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment we entered the water, it felt like we had won the lottery and been dropped into a real-life aquarium. Everywhere we looked, there were vibrant tropical fish, stunning sea turtles, and crystal-clear water that made every second feel magical. I’ll admit, I was more than a little trepidatious about snorkeling. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but within minutes, any fear I had completely disappeared. I was absolutely enchanted by the beauty beneath the surface. It was peaceful, awe-inspiring, and an experience I’ll never forget. Then came the moment of panic—I accidentally dropped my phone, and it sank all the way to the ocean floor. I was convinced it was gone forever. But one absolutely badass diver didn’t hesitate for a second. She dove straight down, retrieved it from the bottom, and had it back in my hands almost immediately. Talk about going above and beyond! That act of kindness and skill turned what could have been a disaster into an unforgettable story. The entire crew was phenomenal— (shout out to Will) professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure everyone had an incredible experience. If you’re even thinking about snorkeling, stop thinking and book this adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned snorkeler or a nervous first-timer like I was, you’ll leave with amazing memories and a huge smile on your face.
