The trip was beautiful... - The trip was beautiful and all the guides excellent. It is more of a diving trip than a snorkeling trip-we two were the only folks not diving. It was still lovely to be on the boat and in the water

Great experience! - Very organized and well run! Lili was a great instructor, she pointed out anything that she thought we would want to see and took care of us :) As a note, if you experience motion sickness, I would recommend taking medication beforehand, even on a calm day!

A Great Adventure - This was a great experience. The guides were very helpful and kind. I was nervous about snorkeling this way but after a while I was able to get comfortable. The waters were rough so it was a workout and we saw some pretty cool fish and sting ray. They provide snacks and water as well. Lily was warm and fun and Clara took great photos and shared them with us.

Great guides! - Guides are great…boat is a little crowded when full - combined snorkel and scuba makes it a little hectic! If weather is rough it’s not so much fun - strong stomachs OK.

Less suitable for snorkeling - The crew was cool and spread fun. However, they are mixed groups with divers and snorkelers. The spots are rather bad for snorkeling, dim visibility and you are not allowed to swim to the rocks (but where the fish are). So you stay in the deep water, where you see correspondingly less because the seabed and with it the sea creatures are far away. Go diving instead of snorkeling (there are also tours for unlicensed divers).

Still waiting for the correct refund for a trip that they cancelled - We booked a snorkling trip that was to depart at 6:55 am. We got up at 5am onky to go to the meeting point and noone was there. After calling they informed us that the trip was canceled due to rsin but no rain at all that day. They said they would issue a refund in the amount of $128 when we paid $184.15. Still havent seen any refund. I have always had good luck w this app. This is by far the worst experience we have had.
