Turtle boat trip - Just amazing! The crew were brilliant, not only did they go above and beyond to make our experience so special they proved how much they cared about the ocean and the turtles. We had never snorkeled before, but Sam and Ella talked us through all the equipment and made it so easy to use. The best thing was finding the turtles and swimming with them! Thank you for helping us make a once in a lifetime memory!

Pick this one for sure! You WON'T regret it!!!! 😜 - Honestly, this was the best experience! We did see Sea Turtles and lots of fish! The captain, Sam, and his helper, Ella, we're so amazing and patient! Captain Sam is a funny guy with his punch lines! It was 'turtlely' COOL! 🤣 If you're interested in snorkeling but don't want to do the huge crowds then this is definitely the company to go through! They had a cute bathroom, drinks, and great vibes! Definitely 10/10!

Magical! The warm clear water, the colorful fish all around us. The turtles coming up and swimming so close… - Welcoming and fun crew. We felt like we had the large catamaran to ourselves. The small group was really special. The equipment was top notch, the cloth on the strap in the back, the goggles never fogged we were so comfortable and could enjoy the fish and the tour. Thanks for bringing up the starfish for us! And bringing the fish and turtles to us! Awesome experience!
