Top notch snorkeling tour! - I highly recommend this tour mainly for how incredible the snorkeling experience is! We had very favorable weather and the water was clear and we were able to see so many fish, sharks, playful sea lions, and even a huge manta ray! The guide and boat crew were very friendly and kept everyone engaged and having fun. Highly recommend this tour if you are primarily interested in snorkeling. As others have mentioned, there is a small fishing demonstration while on the way back to port, but it isn’t what this tour is known for and is really just a secondary fun thing to witness while relaxing on the way back. All in all, worth every penny just for the all day, multiple location snorkel experience.

Family friendly snorkeling trip. - My family (15 and 16 yo kids and husband) and I did two full day snorkeling tours with this company and this was my favorite of the two because we saw so many animals. The boat was comfortable, not luxurious. We swam with large, mostly sleeping sharks and sea lions. The sea turtles were massive and numerous! The food was fine. The guide (Marco) was knowledgeable and friendly.

Absolutely incredible - We decided to take this trip because of the amazing reviews we read and because the price was a lot better compared to other tours advertised here in Trip Advisor. The tour was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We saw so many animals especially sharks and turtles. The food was really tasty and the boat was fantastic, everything was very clean and new. There were a couple of boats nearby doing the same tour and we could tell our boat was the best one in terms of conditions and space so we were very happy with our decision. Highly recommended!

Great Fun - This tour was so much fun! We saw huge tortoises, a seal swam by, some white tipped reef sharks, sting rays...just a lot of cool stuff. They caught a yellow fin tuna for lunch and cooked it while we were snorkeling. The water was COLD! Thank goodness they provided wet suits! Highly recommend!

Great experience. Would go again. - We really enjoyed our experience on this tour. Our tour guide Grace, was very helpful and enthusiastic. She explained to us how to safely interact in our environment, so we wouldn't disturb the marine life too much. The snorkels, flippers and wet suits were provided. There were enough wetsuits to go around for us to even double up which was great, as the water was cold enough. The lunch and snacks provided were very good and filling. There was even hot drinks, like coffee and tea. During the snorkel, we saw lots of beautiful marine life, from parrot fish, to lots of white tip sharks, a good few sea turtles and sealions. We even got to see an eagle sting ray, which our guide told us was rare. We snorkeled in two places, off Pinzon and Le Fa. First part of the snorkel was 1:30hr and the other was 45 mins. We found this to be plenty of time in the water. The boat ride out was 1hr and 45mins. Getting in and out takes up most of the time on the tour, but you get to see beautiful views of Santa Cruz island on the boat journey out. Overall, very good value for money.

Opinions on snorkeling activity an overall disappointing experience despite some positives - I was very excited to be part of this snorkeling tour, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to my expectations. First of all, the departure was not on schedule, which gave the impression of disorganization from the beginning. Once in the water, I would have liked to take the time to observe the fish, corals and underwater landscapes quietly, but this was not possible. The guide constantly urged us to go from one point to another, without letting us really enjoy the moment. This has made hasty exploration almost forced, when this type of activity should invite contemplation. Moreover, the attitude of the guide did not promote a relaxed Mood: he was visibly stressed, unwarm, and gave his instructions in a rather abrupt, almost military manner. The boat’s crew members were in the same mood: unsmiling, uncommunicative, which affected the overall Mood. Another major disappointment was that the announced programme was not respected. It was planned to visit two islands, but we only saw one. Also, the return was supposed to be at 6pm, but we returned at 3pm, without any explanation. Having said that, I would like to highlight two positive points: the equipment provided was of good quality, well maintained, which is always reassuring for this type of activity. The meal served on board was also very good, which brought some comfort in a day overall half-hearted. In short, this snorkeling trip could have been a great experience, but it suffered from a lack of organization, too tense Mood and a program not respected. Too bad, because the natural setting was beautiful.
