Lovely day above and below water
Lovely trip for the whole family. There were nine of us - four children and five adults. Very professional and friendly people at Salty. They took care of everything except swim trunks. A clear recommendation for a family trip. You don't have to be a good swimmer - our youngest is seven years old and she enjoyed every minute.

Lovely day that we always will remember!
This was the most magical thing we have ever done! Me and my daughter have not done snorkeling in open ocean before and was so very well introduced before we went in to the water!
The guides was personal, fun and so professional 👌🏻
Two stops on the tour where one of them was in a bay with crystal clear water 😍 other stop included a small cave into the mountain.
Big thanks for a lovely day that we always will remember!

Amazing day out snorkeling in clear blue water
Amazing day overall. The pickup was smooth, guides were so fun and helpful. Snorkeling gear was in good shape, the snorkeling spots were nice. We saw different fishes, sea urchins, some pieces of old wreckage from a plane & boat. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome small business to tour with!
Lovely experience with George and partners. Pick up and return to the cruise pier was easy, dive shop stop for equipment outfitting was streamlined, and boat trip to dive sites was enjoyable. Our every need was tended to, and when extra time or care was needed it was given with graciousness.
