Kids loved snorkeling with sharks - AmaZing experience! We loved it! Kids had a great time! It’s not a “half day” tour- more like 2 1/2 hours. We would have liked more time to snorkel, but it is fantastic! Great guide!

Sea Horse!!!! - The boat ride and the snorkeling spots were terrific too bad it was a drizzling and overcast that day. We saw do many sea turtles that we swam with and even a large sea horse. There were sea lions including fur sea lion, blue footed boobies, and a couple of cute penguins. This area is so cool and raw nature with all the volcanic underwater bridges - looks like it was just created out of primordial ooze.
