Traveler reviews
Snorkel /shark /Ray excursion Disappointment
This is not a “small group” excursion There’s was over 50 people on the boat, very crowded. While the employees were attentive and good, there were too many people. I booked the trip because it said “small group”.
Enjoyable, short, expensive
This is a fun trip over truly gorgeous water. (1) The trip starts with about 20 to 30 minutes of snorkeling about 50 m off the beach. The snorkel leader attracts fish to the local area with food, so we saw hundreds of fish, about five different species. (2) we then traveled to a sort of floating zoo, that had about five sharks and one sting ray. We were able to snorkel through the area and float above the sharks. I believe these are nurse sharks, and they were mostly sleeping. (3) we then went on to a secluded, beautiful beach and spent about 30 minutes there. The crew was friendly and polite. Simple snacks were provided (cut fruit, chips and salsa). A photographer crew member took multiple photo shoots for interested families. He charged $200 for the digital photos. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, but felt the price was expensive, especially in comparison to numerous other island tours that last longer and provide more.
Snorkeling and Shark adventure
Amazing crew and staff. Communication was great and the adventure is a 10/10! The atmosphere always fun for all ages.
Snorkeling day
Snorkeling and ray and shark experience were great. Luis Miguel our tour guide was awesome. Private beach was beautiful. Photographer was fun. All the staff was alot of fun and made the whole day a blast.
Fantastic Time
It was alot of fun. Bring waterproof sunscreen as you are in and out of the water. My wife was unable to use the scuba mask but they tied a life ring so she could enjoy the water with everyone else. Definitely would do it again.
