Swimming with the turtles!
Seeing reef fish, sea turtles, and even dolphins. It was the perfect amount of time all around when it came to moving from one spot to another finding the wildlife. The environment itself was really cool seeing how the fish swam in and around the reef and seeing sea urchins. We had a group of two ourselves with only one other group of two tagged along not including the two staff. Everyone was super friendly and made the experience a lot better.

Amazing turtle experience
Was the most amazing way to see the turtles. There is a max of 6 people which was exactly what we wanted. Philip was great to work with and gave clear directions on how to find the boat slip. Havilah was amazing with her knowledge of the turtles and marine life. Pay the additional money to have her video and you can experience it! Was amazing and we got to see dolphins!

Amazing morning seeing turtles and dolphins.
If I could give more stars I would! Philip and Havilah were amazing. Philip was a great captain, prompt and easy to work with. Havilah was our guide and her love of the ocean was inspiring. We saw dolphins, turtles and schools of fish. The smaller group setting was exactly what we wanted. Will definitely use them in the future.
