Traveler reviews
Fantastic family friendly adventure!
We did a deluxe snorkel with Dolphin Discoveries and had a blast. The staff were friendly, kind, and super knowledgeable about the area and the marine life. I learned a few new facts about the island too. It felt super safe, since we had our 4 children with us. The crew were watching the guests and kids in the water and giving great instructions. It was fun exploring the underwater world. Can’t wait to get out there with this team for a Manta adventure.
Excellent snorkel trip
This was the perfect snorkel trip for our family of 3. It’s a small tour so there was only one other family of 3 on the boat. We have done a big boat with a slide and a ton of people before so I wanted something a little low key. Check in was easy and the captain showed up on time in the spot we were told to meet. We had Dennis as our captain today and he was excellent! He was super friendly, made us feel welcome, had some cool stories and knew a lot of history of the island. He definitely needs a raise 😉We would definitely use this company again next time we do a snorkel trip.
Great trip lots of fish...

Fun
Just loved the area and our stay!
Unforgettable experience
Our tour guide was down to earth and loved his job. He would answer anything we asked, and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed it. He made the boat ride to the snorkeling reef an adrenaline rush, even on the way back when he was showing us the lava tubes and Pele on the side of the the island. The snorkeling was incredible. We had never been in an actual reef before with all types of tropical fish swimming with us. They werent shy. It seemed like they wanted to show us their underwater world. I would definitely do it again. My only regret was I wasn't aware I could ditch the snorkel and dive down deeper into the reef. I didn't realize I was allowed until I was already on the boat and mentioned I wish I could have only to realize the guide said I totally could have. Oh and they had ice cold water and juice on the boat for anyone that wanted it. Definitely a trip that will be remembered forever
