    "Not worth it"
    TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
    Reviewed June 10, 2024
    Me and my husband went by ourselves. We paid $67 for just the regular tour. It didn't take but 45 minutes to through the complete tour. All that we saw was different kinds of fish and a few other type of things. This definitely was not worth the money. I don't recommend this place for the money they charge.
