“Bring sunscreen and wear a suit or swimwear you can move easily in. Swimming in the ocean is more challenging & strenuous than a pool so be aware. You will be barefoot on the boat, but it’s much easier to move around without shoes on. There are restrooms on the boat. The crew was fantastic!…”

“Amazing experience! Breathtaking views! The crew are very kind, welcoming and knowledgable. They are also very respectful and ethical towards sea creatures. We saw spinner dolphins which are protected so we didn't get to swim with dolphins this time. The crew tried their best to find another pod, we were just unlucky but we got…”

“Great crew. Though we were picked up at our hotel painfully early (for us) at 5:30 am, it was well worth it. An hour drive to the marina where we were given coffee, access to bathrooms, life jackets, and all snorkeling gear you may want including wetsuits. We started out and within just a few…”

When the catamaran stopped in another area we was doing snorkeling but just few normal fishes and no turtles. All this is…”
