It was seriously the best lol. The ocean was crystal clear and so beautiful. I finally got to see the sea turtles I’d been dreaming of, and I was so excited! The free camera rental was a total godsend. It was also a huge help that there was a proper place to change clothes~

I think it offers good value for the price. I really appreciate the high chance of seeing sea turtles, the smooth snorkeling experience, and the free photo service. However, if I had to nitpick, I felt a bit chilly after getting out of the water, so I recommend bringing a towel or something to wrap around yourself right away. Overall, I’m satisfied with the service.

It had been decades since I’d last swum, so I was really nervous going into this, but they lent me equipment that was very well-maintained, and with the support of a kind and knowledgeable veteran guide, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. However… unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any sea turtles. Since it’s part of nature, I guess these things happen. Still, there were plenty of fish—they were colorful and beautiful.
