Well worth the investment - Absolutely brilliant day. The snorkeling was exceptional, like being in an aquarium, the staff were fab and I really appreciated the underwater photography shared by our guide. The desert is an adventure. Worthy every cent.

Shipwreck Snorkeling - This experience was super fun and the team was great with the kids. The sand sledding was definitely a fun experience. Snorkeling around the shipwrecks was amazing, there were so many beautiful fish. Everyone must wear a wetsuit, gloves and fins. The shipwrecks can be sharp therefore the reason for wearing wetsuits. Lunch is at around noon and they offered DIY wraps that had different choices of cold cuts, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and shredded cheese. They had some good cookies too. Bring your own water bottle. They also provide sunscreen if you forget.

Worth Every Cent - It was so much fun and absolutely gorgeous. I debated it because of the cost, but it was worth every cent. I have never seen so many fish in my life!

Fun but a bit disorganised with the large groups. Very safe, and tour guides were funny and lovely. Would want more time - Good activities but needed more time at each activity

Too Many People, Too Pricey For What It Ended Up Being - Let me start by saying that I don’t feel that this is falsely advertised - I personally just would not recommend this one. If you think that you will have a lot of time snorkeling - you will not. There are simply so many people on this tour, that you are broken up into groups based on color wrist bands. You do not get to choose which ‘activity’ you do first and are constantly shuffled around. When you do snorkel, you are forced to follow the guide in a big group. There’s no room to even enjoy looking underwater. Everyone was kicking each other with their flippers. Also, some people were straight up drifting away due to water conditions. The time allotted for snorkeling was simply not enough but since this tour wants to sell tickets to so many people, there will never be enough time. Given the water conditions, we also couldn’t enjoy the kayaking (but that obviously isn’t the fault of the tour company). I would just keep in mind that the activities can easily be impacted by the wind. I do not feel that the price of this tour was worth what we experienced given that you have to pay additional money to ride the ferry to get to the island. So we felt like we ended up paying a lot of money for the bus ride and some bs ‘make it yourself’ wraps (laughable for a 10-11 hour tour). Sure you could argue that you’re also paying to use snorkel equipment and kayak equipment, but let me tell you - that snorkel equipment is old. The wetsuits had a bunch of tears and holes in them - you would think that they would invest in new equipment given how much money they charge and how many people they shove into buses. I also LOVED wearing a wet wetsuit that someone else had just taken off, that was a nice cozy feeling. Ultimately, this felt like a money grab. If you don’t like being in a group of 120+ people, I would pass on this one. If you want to see the island, you can easily do this by Ubering to and from the ferry terminal and paying the ferry fare/national park fee yourself (as those costs are not already included in this ticket price anyway). I usually very much enjoy these types of tours and generally have great things to say so I was hesitant to write this one. However, I feel like I really want to call out the price and the amount of people on the tour - this just was not worth it for me. Again, no false advertising here and the guides seemed nice, but I just would not recommend this to someone with limited time on their holiday.
