“This was such a gorgeous day. We saw hundreds of different fish, turtles, sharks and i was lucky enough to see a sting ray! The tour was very well organised and the lunch was delicious. The guide took pictures underwater for you too. Overall 9/10 - I do wish the crew were a bit chattier however I don’t think many spoke good English. Although, they were informative about which beaches/bays were next on the agenda and the safety rules of snorkelling, which was helpful.”

“It was a really fantastic day- great value for money. We saw some excellent sea life and the food and fruit on board was good. Just a tip- 90% of the people attending got incredibly sunburned (me included- my back is full of blisters). I would suggest wearing a t shirt in the water (maybe even leggings too as the backs of my legs got incredibly burnt). You are in the sun’s glare for around 4 hours, and cannot feel the extent of how badly you are burning. I applied sunscreen regularly but it washed off immediately in the water. Anyway, fantastic trip, well organised and brilliant value for money.”
