Our guide was fantastic-... - Our guide was fantastic- super knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We saw about ten turtles, a huge ray and some fish. I wish the area would be more regulated and not let as many people snorkel at the same time as it got crowded but that is no fault of the tour guide.

Amazing - Amazing! We had a private guide for me, my 17 yr old daughter and 11 yr old son. He was amazing and very helpful and patient. We saw several turtles and some fish. I would definitely go again.

Great time, much better than the larger groups - I had done one of the larger tours the last time I was in the area, and this time was MUCH better. Having individual attention from a guide for just me and my friend was great. We saw SO many turtles, a stingray, and a bunch of different kinds of fish. He helps you avoid the "crowds" of other, large-group snorkelers as well.
My hotel was close so he offered round trip transportation for a small, very reasonable fee. Alltogether a great experience.

Once in a lifetime experience - Amazing experience, we saw turtles, sting ray and a natural coral reef. It was refreshing to see these animals in there habitat rather than an enclosure.
Angel was phenomenal he was helpful informative made sure we were safe at all times gave my nephew a rind on the floaty when he got tired. It’s a lot of swimming but worth every minute and every penny!
Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience Angel and the team ❤️🐢

I had to leave the resort... - I had to leave the resort and go on the main road to get picked up. They don’t come to the resort. So keep that in mind that you might have to walk a fair bit. Otherwise it was great and I was super close to giant turtles.

Lovely experience, felt privileged to swim so close to these beautiful turtles - Lovely experience, felt very lucky to see so turtles so close and apparrently unphased by us being there. Our 9.00 visit started late, following a mix up re meeting up, no one came initially, so we used WhatsApp. When we set off into the sea, whilst there were a few groups out we were totally unaware of them when in the water. Our guide, Santiago, was very good and really friendly. Well worth it.
