Traveler reviews
Great time snorkelling
We had a great time doing the snorkelling in such an unusual place. Abbi and the team were really friendly and helpful and helped us with the big suits which kept us remarkably warm. I would recommend. We met them at the snorkelling place which was really easy.
Top snorkeling experience
Extraordinary experience with Lilian We felt safe and were able to fully enjoy this activity Special mention for photos 🙂
You will enjoy this!
A great experience. We had a group of 6 including two 14 year olds, and everyone had a blast. Kevin was an awesome guide, remembered everyone’s name even in the masks, and explained everything leading up to, during, and after the event. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Is it cold? Your face gets cold and the gloves do get wet, it’s intentional, so your hands do get chilly but tolerable. But the rest of your body is dry and warm, at least when we went in June. It’s not a very long distance, it takes about 40 minutes to float, yes just float no swimming really, but it’s only a 5 minute walk back! Millions of people swim in the warm Caribbean Sea every week, but how many can say they did this!? Book it!
Amazing!🤩
I didn’t do the one with the transfer as I had a rental car. Abbie was amazing with the group - very knowledgeable! Highly recommend🤩
Fantastic; could not recommend more
Had a fantastic time going snorkeling during our stay in Iceland last week. Our guide was James, who was professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Whatever anxiety I initially felt was ultimately dispelled throughout the experience thanks to his detailed and clear explanations before, during and after the main activity. No notes!
