Our snorkeling excursion was excellent! Our guide was knowledgeable and extremely nice. She helped us along with two kids (7 & 9). We snorkeled, she pointed out key items in the ocean and kept us away from danger (because we had two novice swimmers). I recommend this trip for other families and people who want to snorkel in an area where there is great marine life, with great people.

The snorkeling with Leah was great! She was very sweet and had such good positive energy! However, In the description of what I purchased it says that a group of 6 will be on a vessel and that a captain and snorkel guide was included in the booking. When we got there to check in I was informed that it was a land snorkel tour at a local beach near by. The add was misleading. Leah was amazing though and made up for everything!

Didnt get to see the turtles that day but still had an amazing tour of the coral reefs at the beach. Our tour guide would dive down and carefully pick up different organisms for close up viewing (we saw sea urchins and sea cucumbers!) Our group all got along super well and we had a lot of fun together. Made for some great memories! The location is also insane! Very beautiful and worth it.
