I had a great experience with David and Lisa. Lisa helped me twice with my snorkel, which made the experience better than any snorkeling I've ever had. We were provided with a "floatie," which made the snorkeling more relaxing. David was an exceptional captain of the Zodiac Raft! They were both very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this tour.

Captain Sam and Jeda were fantastic guides during our snorkeling trip. They gave us the freedom to snorkel and tell us about some of the history. Funny to see dolphins arise the minute Captain Sam talked history

What an incredible time my family and I had . Marco made this experience unforgettable , made my entire family feel safe and even got the two I didn’t think would snorkel to go in and they now love it . The location was full of fish , he showed us some other locations and was very knowledgeable, we learned so many facts . Seeing my family smiling , laugh and happy was everything I could have dreamed of .
