Helen
We went on two Ultimate Snorkeling Tours and both were excellent. The weather meant that for the first tour we had 3 stops closer in, each quite different and each excellent. On the second trip the sea was very calm so we had one short then one longer trip further out. Again both stops were excellent. We saw lots of colourful corals and plenty of fabulous fish, including schools of them. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The trip is great value for money as you see far more than the very good free off-the-beach snorkeling. Easy to recommend.

On a picture perfect morning we joined Kayla for a snorkel tour on our recent LHI stay. Kayla was incredibly helpful in accomodating my 92 year old mother who had a broken foot in and out of the boat and made sure mum was safe, comfortable and informed throughout the tour, even while the rest of us were off snorkelling. Kayla’s knowledge and natural love of the environment shone through. The following day Mum and I got chatting to a lovely local lady , Jill, who happened to be Kayla’s very proud grandmother. We could see where Kayla got her beautiful smile and great passion from.

Had a wonderful time today out on the Ultimate Snorkel with Kayla and Dean. We thankfully had amazing conditions and managed to see 4 spots! They made the experience so easy and fun. Snorkel and fins are included (and good quality ones too). Would definitely recommend, and the lady who works in the boat shed organising everything is also so friendly and knowledgeable. We’ve booked Mt Gower later in the week and can’t wait. Thank you all!

We did the snorkelling tour and the snorkelling was amazing, we saw some incredible fish. We went in at 3 different spots across the lagoon. The service wasn’t bad but we didn’t really feel like there was much coming from our guides - they just drove us in the boat, told us where to get swim and picked us up. There wasn’t any other conversation or information other than that so the whole tour felt a little flat. Especially after we toured with another company that were super friendly and informative and had much better quality equipment.

I had a great day climbing Mt Gower with Kayla H. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, capable and extremely fit. Physically it’s a demanding day but 9 members of our group of 10, from a variety of age groups, made it to the summit and back. Before signing on to undertake the climb we were fully informed to understand the difficulty of the climb and the pace that would be set. It was tough climbing Mt Gower but definitely gives a great sense of achievement. As I was the oldest on the day at age 65 it should be noted that if you are physically fit, love climbing, and knees are in good shape, and no heart issues, you can stay up with the pace.
