Customer Reviews
The experience was absolutely worth every penny. The guides were extremely helpful and kind, offering clear instructions throughout, and the boat ride was incredibly fun! We received all the necessary snorkeling equipment, and we were pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was to snorkel in the ocean in November. Thanks to the suit, we didn’t feel cold or uncomfortable at all. We saw many colorful, curious fish swimming right around us. Since it’s a protected natural area, they aren’t afraid of people, and their friendly curiosity made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a truly memorable and delightful adventure!
very nice trip to the outskirts of the islet... felt like swimming in an aquarium... lots of fish and some starfish too... great guide and support from the captain
Our guide and captain were very attentive and made sure we were safe the whole time - we had two children with us and felt they were looked after very well.
