This was the best snorkel tour out of the three that we signed up for on the island! They had top shelf equipment New snorkels and a wetsuit and top shelf staff. Everything was on time and they picked us up at a very convenient location. Hannah was especially helpful. The others were more expensive and they lacked wetsuits and top snorkel equipment.

This is a must-do activity if you are visiting the island or are a fan of sea life! Captain Nacho and his crew, Shavd and Dan were amazing. Not only did they provide a safe and fun experience, they entertained conversations, told hilarious jokes, and were helpful in every step of the way. We got up close and personal with many fish at the reef and got to see plenty of turtles. Cannot recommend this experience enough!!!!
