Had a fantastic day snorkelling with our two kids (6 and 4 yo) to the islands. Captain B made sure we were looked after from start to finish. We felt safe and had a really enjoyable morning. Equipment was provided and he made sure that we saw loads of turtles. Would recommend.
Very good, have to visit, beautiful nature. Well organized, friendly captain. It's better to take morning tour.
I could not contact the tour operator. They did not respond to messages . I was trying to rearrange but no response.
Amazing islands, we were snorkelling with the sea turtles, an extraordinary experience! And captain Nemo was great, too! I truly recommend this tour!
The trip could be better organized. Firstly, the meeting point is not clear- we were wandering around Seeb marina when we saw someone in a Global Scuba vehicle by luck. Second, it was pretty chaotic as the boat operators had clearly overbooked and were trying to juggle clients between different boats. It seems that all of these companies are basically the same and they simply distribute passengers between each others boats (so just booked the cheapest one!). Third, they did not have children's snorkeling gear even though we had booked kids tickets. They also did not try very hard to fit gear for everyone (you have to be proactive). Fourth, we only stopped at one spot for snorkeling while the second stop at the island was basically a do-what-you-like (sunbathe, swim, hike). Some of the operators were BBQ'ing but it was unclear whether it was just for them or the clients too. For the positives: the snacks on the boat (sandwiches, drinks, chips, bananas) were adequate, and the boat crew were friendly and even helped out in the water. I would probably look at booking a private tour in the future.
Thank you for you feedback sir, we are sorry to know the kids mask were not available on board as all our boats are equipped with both kids and adults mask, the gears fitting is everyone himself we only help when necessary. BBQ is with booked customers mostly private as it clearly indicated the activity you booked with, as for the beach spot " do-what-you-like" is to allow other who are not comfortable swimmers to have time on the beach but as well those comfortable can snorkel while on the beach Thank you
Great day - the captain was perfect par. Windy weather and therefore waves!! Put safety first! The beaches are splendid.... And turtles in very large numbers!
We travelled with Captain Happy and had a brilliant time despite not the best weather. We saw many turtles and exciting fish. The snacks and drinks were most adequate and everything was extremely well organised.
It is an activity with a lot of tourists and many boats, so like a mass event. The islands are not green and not nice. It is possible to snorkel with many colourful fishes, also turtles and even an octopus. The 2nd stop at a small beach is not interesting, because the sand beach is small, walking on stones on the island not pleasant and too many people and boats there. But the boat ride is nice, food ok and the 1st snorkeling interesting.
We had a great trip today with Captain B. He knows his stuff and knew exactly where to find the turtles ( which were incredible). He made sure we all had good quality equipment and plenty of snacks and drinks. He ended the trip by taking us to a paradise beach. A truly enjoyable trip that I am so glad we decided to do.

Was absolutely amazing! Me and my partner have never done snorkelling before or been in the ocean so it was our first time and Captain Hassan was helpful and supportive. We only saw around a few turtles though compared to other videos which showed people seeing many more
