Memories for a lifetime! - We had an amazing time on our turtle snorkeling excursion with Carlos. He took so many photos and videos of us that we will cherish for a very long time. We also really appreciated how he took the time to teach us facts about the fish and turtles we were seeing. We will definitely book again on our next trip!

Great experience. Highly recommended - Great experience. Highly recommended. The monitor was very good. To go alone or in the company of other people. The camera took good pictures.

Turtle life - The experience itself was great. A little unorganized once we got to the Beach. Take your camera and waterproof case because I still haven't gotten the like to pictures the promised.

Fun but exhausting - This is a good experience. Keep in mind you will be swimming around in open water to find the turtles... It's exhausting, especially when a boat rides by and you're fighting the current! We had 3 people who couldn't swim, so the guide pulled them along on a floating device. Our guide was Fernando, he was very nice and funny.

Tricky start, great finish - We met up at the arranged spot but were disappointed to find that we were not on the list of participants. However Chsrlie checked our ticket and called the office and within 10 mins had it sorted, but we had an uncomfortable 10 mins. After that the day went well we were allocated lockers and snorkels and masks and were soon in the sea. We saw numerous fish and several turtles and whilst we are still waiting for the go pro photos to arrive overall we had a great day.

Awful tour don’t go - This is a complete scam. Awful experience. We signed up by accident for this “tour” and it is awful for tourists and the turtles. First, there is no visibility in the water. You can’t really see the turtles or other native life because the sand creates a murky sea. Shoe-horned with hundreds of other mindless tourists into a narrow channel. Complete waste of money, and the tourists severely stress the turtles. The whole thing is absolutely appalling. 30 pesos to use the bathroom at the one restaurant. Don’t do this moronic tour. The locals should be embarrassed for this atrocious harassment of sea life to make a fast buck.

Horrible Experience - Showed up at the pickup destination, waited for 15-20 mins and no one showed up. No communication, no nothing. Still awaiting a refund. Horrible experience
