Lots of turtles to swim with and a fun time getting the boat launched from the beach. Pick up and drop off was good.
Overall the activity has been good, because it has given me the opportunity to swim among turtles, something I had not done until now. However, the organization was not so good, because the activity provider did not contact me in advance to confirm the time and place of collection, so we went to the meeting point and, seeing that there was no one, I had to call Viator to contact the activity provider. We were later informed that the activity would be delayed by 20 minutes for organisational reasons, but I think they should have told us before the departure time indicated on the booking confirmation (14:30). Totally, in the end we left the meeting point 20 minutes later than planned, and although it is true that the activity was good and I enjoyed it, I cannot say the same of the organization.
.The beach is so impressive and staff are helpful. Our experience was that our boat had 8 people but only 5 life jackets! This meant that a couple of people didn't feel safe getting into the water and so didnt get to see any tutles which was the whole point of the experience. We did have fun and a few people saw turtles (one saw a dragon but he's weird).
Ensure you know who is meeting you as we had a problem after getting off ship until photo sent of driver Experience was excellent and the guys looking after us in boat were great encouraging my wife to go into the water and swimming with her to ensure her safety
Excursion does exactly what it promises; you snorkel with the sea turtles. Fishing boat departs from beautiful bay, you sail only 5 minutes and look for the sea turtles. Then you splash into the water from boat. With snorkel. Some boats have small swimming steps to kim in and out. Some don't either. Piece or 7 Turtles seen of which 1 to a meter tall! Super cool. About 45 min been in the water. Had no further information about the beasts themselves.
absolutely excellent experience. would thoroughly recommend to others. Very friendly and helpful driver and boat crew. Saw 3 turtles and so many fish. What an experience. Thank you
Absolutely phenomenal and unforgettable experience! Swimming with the turtles was something I will never forget. The men on board of the boat were super kind and even got us some nice pictures!
The pick up was very convenient and the driver gave us a nice explanation of various sites along the way to the beach and afterwards, back to the port. About 12 guys launched our boat from the beach, and we went just offshore. The staff on the boat were very friendly and helpful. We were amazed to be able to observe at least six green sea turtles who swam gracefully all around us. What a beautiful experience!
The boat team was great. We saw lots of turtles. It was an amazing adventure. Would highly recommend.
Whatever they say, they DO all throw bait to attract the turtles, but the experience is wonderful, if too expensive
