Manta rays - This snorkel experience was fabulous. We saw many rays (maybe 10?) and they came really close many times. Our guides were really good and professional and experienced. A once in a lifetime experience.

Just amazing! - The experience is breathtaking, simply amazing, unforgettable, wonderful. The staff very helpful and attentive, the operation is well organized. There is a small difficulty of parking for those who go by car to the place of boarding, but does not take the glory of this unique moment.

Don’t stay on the boat - The facility is well organized and high quality. The only thing I regret was not getting into the water because on the description says you need to know how to swim but they handle you a floating macaroni and in the water tou hold on the floating board for the all the time. From the boat you can only see the light of the manta rays, not very fun and worth the money. So, if I were you I’d go into the water.
