★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 630 reviews · from $158

Spend about six hours with local guides such as Manu, Ari, Moana, or Rai, visiting manta rays, stingrays, black-tip reef sharks, and coral gardens. Lunch, snorkeling equipment, hotel or port transfers, coconut demonstrations, and live music are included, though fins may not be.

“Tour was great. The weather was not the best, water was choppy. Manu and Moana were great hosts and we ended up being able to see everything even if the stingrays stops were choppy and not as clear. 100% would recommend. I would recommend bringing your own snorkeling gear if you have it. I will not dock them for not having the best snorkeling gear since they provide for everyone. But I do feel the experience would have been better had I brought better gear. Manu was willing to record some underwear video for me when I was struggling without any floatation devices. Family dinner was good! Not best tasting…”

“It felt like a transportation service to the snorkeling locations. There wasn't much interaction between the boat driver and his passengers. He did announce the location name and the names of the the sharks and rays. Afterwards, you're on your own to do your snorkeling. He took us to two other locations looking for something in the water and after not finding what he was looking for, drove away without explanation. This was our first time snorkeling and, as wonderful as it was to see the marine life under water, we had expected more from this excursion.”
