“We were able to see a little bit of everything and enjoyed our tour guide, but unfortunately had a terrible experience snorkeling. The beach that was selected was incredibly rocky and littered with urchins that made it incredibly difficult to access the snorkeling point. The water was murky and difficult to see through, so we were not able to see much sea life and we left the experience cut up/ bleeding from the rocks, frustrated and disappointed. None of this was the fault of our guide, but if you are selecting this tour with the hope that the snorkeling will be the highlight of the trip, you may be best…”
