"Not very happy snorkeler."
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 10, 2024
Not a very good experience for first time snorkel. The guide keep getting way too far ahead and not helping my teenage Niece. Also, it was to be a snorkel cruise and was not told it would also be a fishing expedition. They kept stopping and going just to land a marlin fish which they killed and gutted right in front of everyone which didn't help my Niece's nausea at all. It was almost 2 hours into the cruise before ever getting into the water. We did see lots of fish and turtles once the snorkel began. Please do better.
