It was a nice experience....
It was a nice experience. Only thing is that there were no stingray with the sharks. I did see a stingray when snorkeling. Felt like a lot of the experience was trying to sell the photos. The views were amazing. Description of trip is misleading.

Excellent!!
This was by far the best experience, EVER!! Luis and the whole crew was incredible. Not only did we snorkel which was my first time but the the way. It could not have been better. I cried lol! They even took us to a spot to see dolphins. The music was insanely good. We felt so safe and secure with them. By far the ABSOLUTE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE besides my wedding. 100% recommend.

Boat snorkle
Derly did a great job making sure we had a great excursion. He got in the water with us and guided us through the ocean to show us the best places to snorkel. Highly recommend

Overall, our family had a great time on the boat. The people working on the boat were super friendly, accommodating, and kind. They went out of their way to make sure we were all having fun and experiencing what we wanted. My only not-so-great points were mostly about things outside of the company's control. The first was when we were dropped off. We were told to get out of the van and to stand in a gravel parking lot that absolutely stank like rotting, hot fish guts because there was a lot of confusion. The other thing is, I felt terrible for the sharks, dolphins, and other marine life in the netted area. They looked depressed and the area was so small I question the humanity of it. Didn't love that part. Snorkeling was cool though! The reef is mostly dead but the fish were all over the place. OH! We also stayed at the Hard Rock and had trouble getting in the van in the gate since we didn't book directly though the hotel. That part was annoying so heads up there! Overall I'd recommend the company to do tours with.
