    Lots of turtles!

    I enjoyed this snorkling tour, we saw several sea turtles as well as lots of fish along the reef. Also some free time to enjoy paddle boards, tubes and floats on the sandbar with an epic backdrop. Captain Robin and his crew were great, since I was a solo traveler I really enjoyed talking with them. The only part I didn’t enjoy was how crowded it was when snorkling, I know I missed some things because I had to keep looking above water to avoid others. If I could I would do a private tour or at least small group. Other than that it was a great experience and would highly recommend.

    Mystical

    Awesome experience. Smooth logistics. Alan was super welcoming. Captain Robin, Ryan, and crew were fun & professional. Clear guidance, and skilled lifeguards ensured a safe and thrilling experience. Robin made sure to point out fish & turtles resting in the reef. Spam musubi & refreshments were just right.
