Turtle canyon snorkle - The crew was great! We saw about 4 turtles in all and got lucky enough to spot a pod of dolphins on the ride out. The water was unfortunately cloudy and it was hard to see things. Not the companies fault obviously. I do wish we would have stayed closer to our boat area and closer to where the people were because that’s where the majority of the turtles were. Our water guide took us out and around and away from most of the turtles until the end. So it felt Ike we went for a nice swim with a few turtles at the end. Would have liked more time where the turtles were. Didn’t have an issue being around all the other groups because they were seeing more turtles. I would have rather stayed there. Our guide wanted to get us away from the groups. All in all the snorkel tour was okay. I would possibly go or recommend a different time of year due to the water visibility. We went end of December. Like I said the crew was nice and the ship was also decent. I would definitely give them another try.
