Don’t miss out on this experience. My guide VIVI was awesome and navigated us safely out to the shipwreck and best part of reef. The wind can be problematic at times but we had a wonderful snorkel and saw an abundance of fish and the biggest and brightest schools of parrot fish I’ve seen in a while. Afterwards I hung out and swam at the beach for a long time. It’s a great way to spend the day. They were very professional and prepared
What a good experience. It started out a bit hectic with filling in data and a small e-learning. But the instructors were calm and gave good explanations. Eventually split up, with the Kids doing their try dive and the two of us going forward and deeper. Beautiful things seen and a great experience for the Kids. Highly recommended
Awesome experience but make sure you can swim and are in shape. We swam out into some large waves and were paired with a tourist that could not swim very well. Our guide Geo was great though and took care of everyone and made sure we were all safe at all times. You see some amazing fish on this snorkel and it is the next best thing to scuba as far as visibility and marine life. Great experience.
The best snorkeling I've found here and the guys at the dive and snorkeling club were incredible. This is different cause you enter the beach and swim out to the ocean walls and the amazing reefs. Great time, the team was also very cautious with some of the weaker swimmer in the group.
This was definitely an experience. We saw some amazing things! The coral reef, shipwreck, and fish were amazing!! The pickup and drop off was different than expected. A car picked us up and drove us. We thought it was a bus. You go to this little fenced area back in the woods. We did get to hold pepe the iguana! Definitely need to he able to swim. It was very windy and rough conditions. Our guide did an amazing job. He made sure everyone had a good time and took us to see things no one else did
Great experience! I was the only person with the guide. I am not a strong swimmer so felt a little nervous especially in the waves but I felt safe. I saw a lot of beautiful fish!!
RJ is the coolest guide I've snorkeled with. He had local knowledge like every other guide, but the way he shared his knowledge made everyone in our group feel like they'd been friends with RJ for a long time. Paddle-kayaking added a fun and relaxing twist to our snorkeling experience. We snorkeled the amazing Mangel Halto area which was exhilarating. RJ provided fins with excellent snorkels / masks along with a cooler full of drinks and wetbags for our belongings. When my son got tired, RJ valiantly towed him the rest of the journey. Everyone in our group said it was the best part of our trip.
Great snorkeling tour, especially for families with children! Alex, our tour guide, did an excellent job. Highly recommended.
it was fantastic snorkeling with Alex!!! great guy who explained everything we were going to see. best snorkeling spot on the island
It says that the excursion is 2.4 hours, but about half of that was the drive to the snorkeling spot and getting fitted for the equipment. Other Viator experiences have had the experience last for the posted time. The guides were friendly and helpful and there were plenty of fish to see.
