They provided clear communication, were aware of anyone’s concerns, kept everyone safe, all while keeping it jovial. The on-theme music while boating in and out of the crater was the cherry on top. As someone who is not a strong swimmer, I felt like my safety concerns were addressed, without making me overly worried. Loved the whole experience and would 100% book again.”

“We enjoyed the tour but only saw one turtle (which we did enjoyed tremendously) and the shipwreck was too deep and dark to see a whole lot. The guide recommended we go to a secondary location to make sure that we would find turtles, but that resulted in going to a lesser appealing shipwreck. I was more interested in turtles than the shipwreck so I appreciative of that. Also, we opted for the 3 PM tour and the guide said that the earlier tours are better because by that time, the turtles are full and aren’t going to be as abundant and the sunlight does not shine directly down on…”
