Snorkel with sea turtles - Great experience with tour guide David. He was knowledgeable and fun to work with. Took the family to a place with abundance of turtles, fishes and a coral reef.

Fun, family, and tortugas! - You walk in to the area and there are showers and a bathroom along with lockers. Leave your flip flops at the beach and grab your masks and prepare to see some turtles and other marine life!

Great experience - It was a very good experience, we saw many sea turtles and even a sting ray. Our guide David was very friendly and informative. He was also a trooper and pulled me girlfriend the entire way (she is not a very strong swimmer).

Great experience - We were lucky and were only alone with our guide as a couple. We saw several turtles, rays and fish. He also helped us when we had problems with our full face masks and gave us new snorkels and diving goggles. He was very patient because we were beginners. Super great experience.

Perfect Day of Turtles! - We had such a great experience! Everything was so easy, we booked the tour, and William reached out to see if we wanted transportation for an additional reasonable fee. He picked us up at our Airbnb in PDC. David greeted us at the site, and showed us how to get the locker, and gave us all of the snorkel equipment and life jackets, making it all so easy. When we went out in the water, he found us plenty of turtles, a huge stingray, beautiful fish, so incredible to see them all up close. We had lunch on the beach after, and when we were ready to leave, we just texted William to pick us back up. We highly recommend this service. It was an amazing day!

Really fun for the whole... - Really fun for the whole family. Our guide was super friendly and helpful. We saw lots of sea turtles, schools of fish, and rays. For at least one of our kids it was the highlight of our vacation. The only minor issue we had was that the communication with the company was a little spotty, and we did not have the actual name of the company when we got to the meeting area. Which was an issue because our cell phone service was poor in that location. Other than that it was great!

Turtle locked in an aquarium - In France we have just banned dolphins locked in pools, zoos are no longer too topical, and at the end circuses no longer have the right to animals...........so please do not go see these poor turtles locked in a square of water filled with tourists.......or ask yourself the question why these turtles remain there motionless with hundreds of people swimming above them.
