Breathtaking
Wonderful experience. Absolutely beautiful
Super dope
About 40 mins of swim time with turtles Super cool all women crew very chill and badass Complementary drink and great vibes!!
Amazing turtle snorkel!
Had such an incredible time! The all girl crew was so badass and the boat was gorgeous. All around amazing time!
We'll be back again!
Great time watching turtles in their natural environment. The boat was very clean, the crew was fantastic and very attentive to each group on board. Great equipment, great briefing on expectations on the boat and in the water. The captain even followed some whales on our way back to port. Loved that the number of guests is limited far below the boat capacity unlike other groups we saw on the water. 5 🌟. We'll be back again!!
Prejudice toward minorities
If you’re an experienced snorkeler who doesn’t need guidance or assistance, this tour might work for you. However, for beginners or families with children, I would not recommend it. There was no real safety orientation for first-time snorkelers, and as a couple with a young child, we struggled in the water with almost no support. Even though they claimed to have two lifeguards on duty, no one responded when I was exhausted, out of breath, and clearly signaling for help. I had issues with the equipment and was running low on air, and at one point I was waving near the boat asking for assistance while the lifeguards were busy chatting. When I finally managed to get myself close enough to call out for help, one of the staff members hesitated and seemed reluctant to help me back onto the boat. There was also an uncomfortable sense of bias in the way some staff interacted with us as minorities — it was visible in their attitude and demeanor. Overall, this experience felt unsafe and unwelcoming, and I would not book with this tour again.
