Amazing, incredible and wonderful a day we will always remember.
This was a fantastic morning out. Che is the perfect host, so informative and made sure we saw turtles, rays, puffa fish and so much more. He made the trip one to remember, and had even sent the amazing pictures to us within a couple of hours of getting back to our hotel. Brilliant from pick up to drop off. Highly recommend as great value for money.

Turtle boat trip
Fabulous trip from start to finish!! Pick up from hotel on time. Che was amazing finding the turtles, fish and Rays. Group of 10 and no other boats so felt personalised and uncrowded. Will highly recommend.

Amazing Snorkel Experience!
We had an amazing experience with Che! Communication on pickup was very clear (through text and what’s app), it was a small, friendly group and we were able to see a turtle and a sting ray. We made 3 stops, one to a sunken barge and a coral reef, one to an area known for turtles and another to an area known for sting rays. He made sure that we all had several photos was the turtle. We love that he shared them with us for free, we’ve been on other tours where they charge quite a bit for the photos they take. It was very relaxed and a great time!

Best Snorkeling Tour!
My wife and I have done a couple of snorkeling tours and this was by far the best! It was a small group which was nice and we saw so many different fish, a very friendly turtle, and stingray. The price was great and our tour guides were amazing and so welcoming. We didn't feel rushed and truly enjoyed the whole tour. Thanks for a great experience!

Amazing experience up close with special animals
Amazing experience with Che. Easy to book, and great communication via WhatsApp. Turned out we were staying on the same beach as Che’s mooring spot, so we were able to join him there, meaning we had 20 mins or so just us on the boat which was fab. After collecting a few other guests, we headed to find some turtles and Che knew the perfect spots. Getting so close to these amazing animals was the highlight of our holiday, there’s something special about getting out early in the morning too, before the larger trips. And having amazing photos taken by Che was a great bonus. Brilliant experience start to finish, can’t recommend it enough

Fantastic trip
Great morning! The Catamaran was clean, Che and Kamal were very friendly and knowledgeable and are clearly known to the turtles and stingray as they swam right up to them! Loved the trip, thank you.

Rated Number 1!
This was the most amazing trip. He was prompt, responded to emails, door to door service. Che was very accommodating, friendly, a great instructor, service oriented, and he even had helped this old lady get onto the boat. The price was outstanding and we would do it again and recommend him to all of our friends! Thank you for such an opportunity and outstanding experience!

Turtally Fabulous
Well, probably the best trip we have ever made. Che knows the sea and where to see Turtles, he literally had them eating out of his hand. Well worth the cost , and as he goes out early there’s no other large party boats around

Turtally Fabulous
Absolutely lovely experience, swimming with turtles and Rays in a beautiful spot, with a very knowledgeable captain. It starts early so there’s no large party boats in the area but well worth it . If we had done it earlier in the holiday we would have booked it again
