A great experience. - Great guide. He was both knowledgeable and very
caring and watchful during our time in the
water. He took extra trouble to look for and
guide us each to see many turtles.

Initially had our trip... - Initially had our trip cancelled but we were offered another day or a refund. We were able to enjoy the trip and saw sea turtles as promised. The snorkeling was good and we also learned information about the island.

Great excursion - Jim is a knowledgeable guide. He found turtles right away. He was helpful with putting snorkel gear on. He knew exactly where to swim and find turtles. He taught us so much about the island!

A super experience! - The tour is highly recommended! The guide tells a lot, and has a lot of experience snorkeling with the turtles. He goes into the water with them, and takes pictures with the turtles’ own camera.

Saw one turtle - My husband and I took this tour on March 24, 2026. We didn’t have a good experience because we’re not strong swimmers. This didn’t seem to be a tour from a company. A guy picked us up in a pickup truck. Two other people were on the tour also. He had masks available, but we had to clean the sand off before we could use them. He had a total of three flotation devices and one of them was torn up. Mine was missing the vertical strap. My husband and I finally saw one turtle about the size of your hand. The others who claimed to be strong swimmers saw two or three. The three-star rating in generous.

Successful goal in a short time - We managed to see two turtles and pink flamingos which was the objective of our activity. However, our stopover was short and our activity started 90 minutes late due to a mechanical problem suffered by a colleague of our guide. Our activity was therefore reduced by 45 minutes and was deprived of a stop in a very beautiful beach. Our guide was kind and helpful. Without this bad luck, our activity would have been magnificent.

Bare Bones Experience - This activity was a bit of a disappointment for our group. The operators were polite but unengaging and a bit rough around the edges. The equipment provided (water shoes, masks/snorkels, flippers) was worn and ill-fitting. One pair of water shoes was worn through completely at the toes and they had no extras. Entrance to the water was rocky and the surf was rough getting in and out. Two guests gave up after just a few minutes and returned to shore. We did see several sea turtles once we got out to the area where they feed. Afterward, we were driven a few miles to a pull-off on the side of the road to view flamingos in salt water flats. They were quite distant and no binoculars were provided to view them. No amenities were provided, not even water.
