We had the best experience! Saw gorgeous green sea turtles and so many fish and even a small jellyfish. Such a great and safe experience. The staff were wonderful and spoke a bit of English which was also super helpful!!
Snorkeling next to the island was amazing. We were able to see turtles swimming calmly in crystal clear water, right near us. It was a unique and unforgettable moment.
The staff was great at integrating people into the walk. The place was great, with the goal achieved: SEE TURTLES.
Fantastic experience! We saw several turtles very close and the guide was extremely kind giving us all the necessary information.
Adrena Island staff was very nice, constant instructions and a lot of attention to safety. Sea was upset and the turtles hid, but we were not disappointed.
I saw so many sea turtles and it was honestly a magical experience !! The tour guides were wonderful and super friendly. I think if I ever were to do it again I’d choose scuba diving over snorkeling
Well worth the experience . Lots of fun and saw plenty of turtles. Everyone was very friendly and nice. I would recommend in a heart beat
Thank you so much for your recommendation!
In the description it is not clear how the place is, the sea moves a lot, it is close to rocks and it is dangerous to get very close to them, so it is a bit dangerous and you have to know how to swim to know how to leave if something happens, it was also not clear (because of the tide so bitten) it was not so easy to see fish, however I could see turtle, with the warm water but I saw, the snorkel is not full face and swallow water several times because I was not used to do well the vacuum with my mouth, at one point I went away without realizing and stressed because coming back near the boat was not so easy, requires knowing how to swim well and go against the current. I did not dive but if you notice that they had to share the mask that goes in their mouth, that is, someone went down with the mask and the instructor, then went up and passed it to someone else just sanitizing it, they also put the oxygen tank being already in the sea, in other diving experiences I have seen that one goes alone with an instructor, does not have to share a mask and puts the tank before throwing himself in the water, for someone with no experience can be very uncomfortable, even in other agencies one goes down a while to see if he manages to resist, but not here, outside of that, the staff was friendly and friendly. Kisses.
"¡Hola! Agradecemos sinceramente por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Sus comentarios son muy valiosos y nos ayudan a mejorar nuestros servicios. Comprendemos que la descripción del lugar pudo no haber sido clara. Las condiciones del mar pueden variar, y en algunos días, como en el día de su visita, puede estar más agitado, por eso ofrecemos flotadores para personas con menos habilidades de natación, recordamos que, lo que es extremo en su percepción puede ser normal para los demás, exactamente como sucedió en su día, ninguna otra persona tuvo la misma percepción que la suya, pero respetamos su condición y reconocemos la importancia de informar claramente sobre las condiciones del mar y los riesgos potenciales. Entendemos y queremos que usted también entienda que la visibilidad del agua del mar puede ser influenciada por las condiciones de vientos y corrientes marinas, además también de la falta de habilidad con los equipos. ¡Nos alegra que haya tenido la oportunidad de avistar una tortuga! Sobre el uso del snorkel, lamentamos que haya tenido dificultades. El modelo que utilizamos es elegido en base a nuestra experiencia de 20 años, buscando la seguridad de los participantes. Las máscaras de rostro completo pueden presentar dificultades de sellado y aumentar el riesgo de inhalación de agua. En relación al buceo con cilindro, nuestro protocolo de equipar a los participantes en el agua busca garantizar la seguridad, especialmente para principiantes. Equiparse en el agua evita la incomodidad de saltar del barco con 25 kg de equipo. Reforzamos que todos los equipos son higienizados individualmente. Nuestro equipo está siempre atento a la seguridad de todos los participantes. Contamos con dos a tres instructores a bordo solamente para monitorear y auxiliar durante todo el paseo. Agradecemos nuevamente por sus comentarios y esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirla nuevamente en un futuro próximo. ahora para acer Buceo!
It was totally worth it. Thanks to Sergio and Eduardo for their explanations and patience, I would repeat it without hesitation. I hope to come back so I can dive, it's a paradise
