Okay if there had not been a screaming 3-4 year old in the group.

There should be an older minimum age. We had a screaming 3-4 year old. The parents tried to get a snorkel on a 3-4 year old in the ocean with salt water. Then they tried to get the same kid in a cave! This was terrible for everyone else. You should not allow such young children to ruin the trip for the rest of the participants. Minimum age should be 7 or 8!!

Loved it!

Great experience! One thing to note with this Is you are swimming in the ocean for an hour so be prepared. Only bring small children if they are comfortable with swimming in the ocean. The tour guides are amazing!
