It was a nice experience, however I wouldn't have gone if I had known the animals were in captivity and had their tails cut off. The enclosures are too small, feel sad I paid and supported this.
noticed this place averages around 3.7 stars – not sure why, because I reckon it deserves more. Hopefully this helps bump it up. I booked this with my wife as part of our honeymoon – I was absolutely buzzing to do some proper snorkelling in crystal-clear waters. From the off, everything was smooth: hotel pickup was easy, tickets and sign-in were quick, and the short boat ride over, although a bit packed, was a good laugh. Once you arrive, it’s a quick rundown of the basic do’s and don’ts – all common sense – and then you’re left to explore the floating pier. I didn’t waste any time and jumped straight in. First time snorkelling properly in my life, and I had an absolute blast. I brought my GoPro, and the staff were brilliant – swimming around with us, pointing things out, and even diving to the bottom to get some cracking footage. Top lads. There were kayaks and paddleboards available, but I was too busy snorkelling with my wife and soaking up the whole experience. We explored the shark and stingray area, and again, the staff helped film with the GoPro and got right in there for close-up shots. I even got to hold a stingray, which was unreal. Everything seemed well looked after – none of the animals seemed stressed or mistreated, which was important to me. I later had a reflexology massage, which was absolutely spot on – proper relaxing. The sandwiches they served were banging too, just what you need after a good swim. Then it was back in the water for a final hour with the team, exploring more of the reefs. All in all, this was a brilliant experience – especially as it was my first time snorkelling. Sharing it with my new wife made it even more special. She loved it too – especially the massage and the views. We got some cracking photos and had some great chats with the staff, who were genuinely lovely and up for a laugh, even with the odd language hiccup. Can’t recommend this enough – especially if you want a laid-back but exciting day out on the water.
I just did this afternoon excursion today with my husband and 2 teenage sons. We all had a lot of fun! There were several different activities to do. It was 3 hours long once we got onto the boat and returned. The boat ride from shore was only 5 minutes. The snorkeling was great, water was clear, and a ton of fish! The shark and stingrays were cool, not that exciting, but fun to see. I like that this was self guided for the most part. They have instruction in the beginning and then it was do what you want and have fun! The lunch provided would get 1 star. The only option was a small cold ham and cheese sandwich, chips and salsa, and vegetable sticks. The return transportation needs to be better organized. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the Reef Explorer or our resort (Dreams Onyx). We are currently sitting on the couch bus and have been waiting for other passengers for over 40 minutes now with no update. Another passenger said some of them are sitting at the bar. We will now miss out on our dinner reservation.
Wonderful place with very friendly service team! If you looking for a good beach time with music, healthy drinks and beautiful views - it is your place. You have, also a professional photographer and the photos are only 18-20$ for the full package.
This place is a must see! Swimming with the manta rays and nurse sharks was amazing! So much fish around this place. The food was ok: sandwiches, chips, soda, smoothies, and veggies. You can get a massage if you want to spend $35. You get 3 hours, which is plenty of time. The water scooters were so much fun. They were fast and helped you see the couple of nurse sharks. The staff was very friendly. The view was awesome! My great suggestion is to bring your own mask and snorkel. What they have is ok, but not the greatest. Get one of those new full face snorkel mask so you don't have to bite down on snorkel. Those are so much better.
