Definitely do this! - Angel was such a wonderful guide! He found us 5 turtles of various sizes, 2 stingrays, lots of cool fish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely recommend the private tour over the walk-in group tours.

Great Experience - Truly amazing and unique experience, we saw many turtles, coral, and tropical fish. They kept good communication with us and met us at the parking lot and explained the whole process. I would definitely do this again if I come back.

An experience to last a lifetime - Our group was taken offshore by boat and dropped into the water. Our guide swam upfront, and when stingrays or turtles were located, we were called over to marvel at the sight. These creatures were majestic in their own environment. We were able to see at least 5 or 6 turtles. Underwater cameras and GoPros are permissable. An amazing experience and one that will stay with me forever.

Nov may be too late to see turtles - Meh - we had a lovely tour guide, but only saw 1 turtle and a cool star fish. Maybe there are more other times of the year.
