Pure bliss

The crew was helpful and put us at ease. Great activity even for beginners like me! And the views are spectacular

Great snorkeling excursion

Great snorkeling experience for our whole family. The boat crew made sure everyone was safe and checked in on everyone. The lunch hit the spot after being in the water, there was plenty of drinks and chips for everyone. Id recommend water shoes if youre going otherwise you will have to leave your slides or flip flops at the dock (not a big deal but I wish I had taken water shoes as top floor was hot for bare feet).

Very good, I recommend it.

I highly recommend it. This trip is very good. There are food, drink and snorkeling. When we set out, we also saw dolphins. We can also dive into the sea from the boat, and we can also slide into the sea.

Fun!

It was a lot of fun. The captain and crew did a good job and lunch was nice. He took us on a nice tour of the coast after snorkeling.
