Snorkeling with ease
Our snorkeling tour was great. Barbie was a fantastic instructor and was very diligent to make sure we were comfortable both in using the equipment and in performing the activity. We were inexperienced with snorkeling but we became very confident with it after her instruction. It was fun to use the sea scooters which made snorkeling almost effortless. We saw a lot of sea life and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Best and safest for non swimmers!
I booked this experience for my husband and I was a little anxious for him because he can’t swim at all but Barbie made everything feel so safe and incredible. She took great care of him and all the non swimmers in the group and they were separate from the swimmers. He saw a lot of marine life and said Barbie was all about safety in the water. I recommend getting the water scooter and the go pro for this experience as it will make a big difference! I will definitely look for Barbie next time we come back. She is very professional and very knowledgeable.

Amazing snorkeling experience
Barbie took us out and we saw so many sea turtles and fish! It was amazing and so beautiful! I highly recommend them we snorkled with another tour and didn’t see half of what we saw today. Loved every second of it!!

Phenomenal experience blending swimmers with nonswimmers
We had an excellent time. My husband and I are not swimmers but our teenage boys are like fish! So we had to do something that allowed both worlds to meet in the middle. We saw humongous turtles felt comfortable in the water. Get the sea scooters!
The wet suit flotation device was a good start but the sea scooter took the stress out of it for all of us! Our tour guide was constantly doing check-ins to make sure we were all accounted for + to ensure we felt safe before going on!
Would highly recommend!!!

Beautiful views and easy snorkeling!
Barbie and Tim were phenomenal hosts and instructors for this experience! I came with my mom and this was both our first times snorkeling. Barbie placed a huge emphasis on safety and explained the floatation wetsuits, sea scooters (so fun), and shark repellent anklets very thoroughly. I got to see 2 sea turtles, unique schools of fish, and lots of beautiful coral!
Even though my mom is a non-swimmer, Barbie and Tim were very patient with her to make sure she felt comfortable in the water. The GoPro footage we got afterwards was amazing as well. Tim was kind enough to drop us back off at our hotel afterwards too! Overall, we had a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend this experience to first-time snorkelers. Btw, if anyone is looking for more reviews of this experience, check out 'Eco Sea Scooter Snorkeling Academy' on Google Maps! Thank you Barbie!

Love you 5 Star review. We are all about being safe and having a great time. Our guided tour are the easiest way to snorkel with our Airtime Watertime Flotation wetsuits. By using these 350LI Yamaha Sea Scooter that go 3.7 mph the only thing that get tired is your thumbs for holding the buttons down. This is by far the laziest way to ever Snorkel.

Phenomenal!
Nico was our tour guide and to be honest we were skeptical at first. My wife had never been, we met at a house and it was not as group setting as we initially thought, BUT, it was an even better experience. Nico was a
Phenomenal tour guide, we felt safe, informed, and he really made the experience one we won’t forget. They rent out floating wetsuits , you get scooters included (so worth it!!!) and he really lets you do what you want while making you feel comfortable. My wife is completely afraid of the water but she ended up doing better than me haha. Overall we will 100% book this again for the one on one experience and the complete snorkeling adventure was just amazing! Thank you Nico!!

First experience
This was my first snorkeling experience. Barbie and Niko were great. The only thing is I paid for the video but nothing got recorded and she had to refund my money.
