A lifelong memory

A fantastic two hour trip. We were well looked after and well instructed, and the snorkelling was easy and very worthwhile. Saw all sorts of fish, an octopus and most importantly many turtles as they swam and came up for air. A lifelong memory.

Best snorkeling tour

Great snorkeling tour and the 18 person max was the perfect size. Nick, Nate and Brooke were awesome and we even got to dive and do back flips off the top landing. Highly recommend

Great turtle spotting snorkel excursion

Great snorkel trip to turtle canyon. Staff seemed genuinely interested in ensuring passengers had fun while remaining safe. Brooke and Erica were fantastic as was Captain Carlos. I was motion sick during the ride, and the Chimes ginger chews they gave me helped instantly. Would definitely recommend them!

An amazing crew

This trip was phenomenal. I have dived and snorkelled for 40 years all around the world and this crew was the most professional I’ve ever seen. Francesco, Ella and Erica were perfect hosts and knew their stuff very well. Incredibly helpful with gear and making sure that everyone was comfortable.
