Wonderful snorkeling
An incredible experience that exceeded all our expectations. Going out on a boat to snorkel was the best decision of the trip. We were lucky enough to swim with turtles in their natural habitat, a truly magical and exciting moment. The crew on board was a ten: they explained everything to us in great detail, gave us top-notch equipment, and at all times showed enormous respect for the animals and the marine environment, which is greatly appreciated. It felt like a very safe, comfortable, and intimate excursion. If you want to experience a unique adventure underwater, you cannot miss it. Totally recommended!

Simply incredible.
We have done this excursion for the second consecutive year, and this last time was unforgettable; besides turtles, we saw dolphins very close to our boat, it was simply incredible.

Not for first-time snorkelers
This would be a good tour for experienced snorkelers, however, it was my first time at sea, and my husband's first time ever, and it wasn't a good experience.
The instructor wasn't very supportive or helpful when my husband said he was nervous, and once he was in the water, he just kept shouting at him to swim (when he was clearly panicking and could have done with some calm and supportive instruction).
My husband decided it wasn't for him, and came back onto the boat, which was when the instructor made him feel bad my saying that he ruined the experience for me!
There was a lot more swimming involved than I had expected, and the flippers were difficult to use, so I wasn't able to snorkel for the full hour.
And I know he can't guarantee what Wildlife we see, but I literally saw a few fish and that was it.
Operator response
We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few important points.
This activity requires that participants know how to swim, as clearly stated in the booking description. Your husband told us he couldn’t swim and also had a strong fear of the water — in that case, he should not have booked this kind of excursion. In fact, right after your group, even 8-year-old children took part in the same experience for the first time with no issues at all.
At no time did the instructor say anything offensive. He was simply giving clear safety instructions. The claim that he told your husband he had “ruined the experience” is completely false.
We must also mention that one participant weighed approximately 180 kg and the other 160 kg, which presents serious limitations for this kind of activity, both in terms of safety and mobility in the water.
After the tour, you attempted to request a refund citing medical reasons, which are not consistent with the facts. The real issue was the lack of swimming ability and joining an activity that clearly states swimming is a basic requirement.

Excellent experience
Snorkeling with turtles and rays was incredible! We were taken to a quieter area, away from many other tour groups, and got to swim with turtles, rays, barracuda, and a tuna! Our guide was very knowledgable and helpful. I would absolutely use this tour company again

incredible
Amazing!! we were slightly late but the instructed was kind enough to still let us go . He was very kind and understanding when a couple of us did not like snorkeling after trying it for a couple of minutes and still made us feel included and have a good time. he helped us spot plenty of fish, crabs, octopuses and sting ray. He explained everything very well and maintained safety standards . 10/10 would recommend - lovely photos too!!

Spectacular !!!!! You have to live it! Thanks Elio, Alain and Angels, you are wonderful instructors
I booked the tour from Barcelona. I went with my daughters aged 16 and 12. The day before they sent me a message to remind me of the visit and to ask sizes for the wetsuit. The instructors: Elio, Alain and Angels... Super friendly, very close with the whole group, that reassured us a lot since it was our first time. The area they took us was very quiet, there was only one other boat with 4 people doing diving baptism... they were explaining all the fish we were seeing. They are super careful with the environment, as we do not feed the turtles to not interfere in their habitat... we saw 2 turtles, and 2 puffer fish that is almost possible to see!. My 12-year-old daughter is afraid of the depths, but they made us so comfortable that I think she enjoyed the experience the most, so quiet watching the turtle in a 30m deep zone! In the excursion you can get 3-5 photos per person but you can hire video with them if you want.... During the return to Angeles I was becoming a “Guide” to be able to see and enjoy more if you can of this wonderful island It was a spectacular day! I advise 1000x100. Thank you Elio, Alain and Angels, for an unforgettable experience
