Lots of fun! - The environment was fun, and the guides were friendly. They were very familiar with the shipwrecks and turtles that we saw. All around 10/10 experience

Great experience - It was a great experience from start to finish. Since I’m not a swimmer, I had reservations about doing any kind of deep water activities, but I quickly changed my mind once I got into the water and realized that it wasn’t as bad as I thought. I loved it. Will definitely do it again.

So much fun! - Me and my friend went to the snorkeling excursion last minute and we loved it! The staff there were so good to us, especially with my friend who can’t swim.

Fun, Low-Key Excursion - What a fun little excursion that is good for adults and children. You could still see some ocean wildlife even if you didn't get in the water to snorkel. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the creatures and wreckage sites. I definitely recommend it!

Good trip with plenty of shelter from the sun. - The boat wasn’t too crowded, so there was room for everyone on the bottom deck. The boat also had an upper deck without any shade. Sanitised masks and snorkels were provided and a drink. We did not receive the snack as stated on the TripAdvisor booking site. Our guide Shazam was entertaining and helpful, Captain John drove us safely. We saw numerous fish at the shipwreck. At the second site we saw 1 turtle, 1 stingray, numerous Tarpan and 2 Barracudas. Shazam told us that the barracudas visit the area infrequently. True, you may be able to swim to the sites from the beach if you’re a competent swimmer, but the boat ride was convenient and enjoyable.

Overcrowded, not enough life vests, they just left us and drove away! - I wish I would have liked this more - the boat was late picking us up. They did not have enough life jackets. The 'glass bottom' was a small, dirty hole in the middle of the boat, the area where we were snorkeling was very crowded and the 'guides,' of which there were 3 workers total on a boat with about 40 people, and they literally left some of us in the water and drove away because some people had to be back on shore. They didn't tell us, they just left! I would suggest looking for another company/tour.
