We saw a TURTLE! - Our guide was so friendly & patient & explained everything to us really clearly. We saw so many fish & were even lucky enough to find & swim with a sea turtle. Our guide took amazing individual photos of our family swimming with the turtle too. Magical!

Snorkelling - Today was my first time snorkeling in my life! I was thrilled at first, but my instructor Anchan was so kind and always smiling to reassure me! I really enjoyed meeting beautiful fish and sea turtles! I want to come back. It was a snorkelling session that made me feel like I was doing it!

Beautiful day with beautiful fish - Although we didn't see turtles we saw beautiful fish. It was also a beautiful day for snorkeling. We were two adults and two children (14 & 6) and were part of a group of 4 others. Kodai took us out in the water and helped my 6 year old with a float since he is still learning to swim. It was a great time and everyone will never forget this experience. Kodai took amazing photos and cannot wait to see them with friends and family.

Beautiful day with beautiful fish - We unfortunately didn't see any turtles but we saw so many beautiful fish. We were two adults and two kids (14 and 6). Kodai took great pictures of us and will always remember this fun day with the kids. They saw so many fish and were able to identify them because of watching Octonauts. Haha

Super guide, reef tour - We had the best trip doing snorkelling with Kodai the other day. He made sure we all felt safe and well throughout the trip. At first, we thought we were going on a boat trip, But instead, we could go out directly from the beach - this did not make the trip any less spectacular as we saw beautiful reef and the sea turtle 🐢 Highly recommendable!!

Disappointing - It is stipulated that the activity lasts 2 hours when in reality it only lasted 30 minutes, the time to prepare, the instructions etc... we turned around the corals, we took pictures of us who are not top and we went home. No turtles seen, no explanation on turtles their habitat how or where to look/find them. We could have gone alone in a mask and snorkeled it would have been the same. Yet we have already done snorkelling in different spots in the World it was not at all the same; for us it is a scam we do not recommend at all!

Disappointing - Started late and we were rushed through, so other groups could get squeezed in. All they cared about was getting our money
