Nice tour - The tour was enjoyable, however the snorkeling equipment is not the best. It was our bad that the sea was too choppy and the waters murky, so we couldn't really snorkel. Nonetheless, my nephews enjoy to the full swimming on the open ocean and the rest of activities. In general, it was a very unique experience.

Super Tour - We were lucky enough to be able to do the tour alone with the two guides (they often only have small groups) It was a great tour on which you can also have your own say. We saw a lot of animals and also had a free dolphin tour! Thank you for this Cool Adventure

Beautiful day! - Fantastic tour. It was very private with a small group. We were happy to not end up on the busy beach. The two guides were flexible and great.

Do not hesitate, choose them - Absolutely perfect experience, small business that surprised us pleasantly, boat ride, lots of snorkeling time, beach with very few people (not the typical turtle but next door) and good food, great professionals, quality / price very good, I exceed all our expectations.

Very flexible and beautiful snorkeling tour - The snorkeling, the boat ride, the people were all amazing! I appreciated the freedom that we had to explore at the snorkeling location as well as on the beach. I was surprised at how much time we had to explore the beach and relax! There were very few instructions throughout this experience and so if that is okay with you, I highly recommend this experience.

No nonsense, small group - great snorkeling & private beach - This was not a fancy tour like some of the others we saw, but it had everything we needed and we really liked that it was a small group. The guides were minimal in their chatting/instruction, but provided lookout spots, where to snorkel and some fruit and sandwiches at the beach (which was fantastic, private, no one else there, as opposed to the other, more commercial one that was pumping out loud music). Everything was left to our timing, so we weren't rushed in our snorkeling or beach time, which was nice. Altogether recommend this one.

Could have been great if not for risks, limited medical assistance with boat wave sustaiend injuries - Inadequate equipment (ice for injuries, child life jacket - only had one) & poor boat management re: waves/speed of boat. Also noted crew’s disregard for seniors (60’s) & children in group, as well as disrespecting wildlife exosystem (tossing leftover sandwiches to wildlife during lunch).

Worst tour ever. Avoid - After a 20 minute boat ride to snorkle for 40 minutes, we were dropped off on a beach where we had lunch and were left on the beach for the next 3 hours.After reading about other Tortuga tours we realized how lame this one was, and what a bad choice we made.
