The most wondeful and highly recommended - Our vacation became so memorable for my family because of our snorkeling experience with Marcel and Mieke. My husband and two daughters had a blast. They see many turtles , fish and sting ray. These two guide are knowledgeable and environmental sensitive_ the snorkeling as my daughter says was ethical. Thank you Marcel and Mieke for this wonderful experience for my two daughters especially 🎉highly recommended!

Great private sea turtle snorkeling tour by locals - Marcel and Mieke were genuine, experienced, and engaging snorkeling guides for our family's private tour. They provided proper fitting equipment and thoroughly explained how to swim using the flippers for beginners. They were informative about the locations in which turtles often frequently swam, different species of aquatic life that we saw during our tour, and answered any questions we asked. They ensured comfort for our family checking in throughout the tour and safely accompanied one of our family members back to the shore when she needed a break. Marcel brought a camera to capture footage of the animals we saw including the turtles some of whom were babies and a stingray that we were lucky to come across during our snorkeling. Highly recommend!

Best Experience Ever!!! - This was easily one of the best experiences of my life!!! Marcel and Mieke were incredible. They are so knowledgeable of the area, the turtles, and all the other amazing marine life! We saw so many turtles and other cool fish, eels, etc. We also preferred this more private snorkeling experience over a large group. If you’re considering booking this, definitely do it!!

Swimming with turtles - We had a great time! Marcel and Mieke were awesome! Very friendly and outgoing. We’re relative beginners with snorkeling. They took the time to explain everything to us and make sure we were comfortable the entire time snorkeling. We saw turtles quickly, not mention all kinds of beautiful fish, squid, eels and even a small octopus. With Marcel filming and educating us throughout. All in all a very worthwhile adventure for us!!!

#1 must due on the island - Put this tour at the top of your list during your visit. Tour guides were great , having 2 guides was great for safety and locating numerous sea creatures, along with numerous turtles! Started on time , with friendly conversations and reinforced animal safety rules to protect the turtles. Every encounter came with a explanation and identification This is the first excursion we will book upon our return next year And last the short video was the cherry on top ! Recapped our time and all we discovered while not worrying about having to video ourselves ! A+, 10 out of 10, you won't regret
