Up close with the turtles
Fabulous experience snorkeling with the turtles!!
A
Good experience, very kind staff and Safe!
Excellent sighting and very nice and humble tour guide. Highly recommend booking with him instead of the more popular ones you see online with more reviews. We had a great experience with them, they included the go pro, did all the underwater photography and everyone was very kind ! I would highly recommend that you book the hotel or via the local shacks on the beach instead of online coz we Paid double the price online. Just call the tour operator directly instead and he will arrange everything or tell the hotel (Mirissa hotels) this tour operator name and they will arrange from the hotel. Same deal but much cheaper.

Waves and Turtles
They made this a fantastic experience. Up close and personal to the turtles and fed them their seaweed. They provided the equipment which was good as well. Since my wife was uncomfortable with the waves, the guide was with her the whole time which made her feel comfortable. Such a fun time !

Booked last minute, and worked out great for a group of 7. Had lots of fun swimming at the beach and seeing the turtles and fish.
