Brilliant !! My daughter got to see her turtle that she always wanted to do !! A perfect day 🥰🥰.

Such a wonderful day, except the trip out and back was double the length of time than advertised. The island is just gorgeous and we had a wonderful time snorkelling !! My daughter’s dream was to swim with a turtle and it happened !! Amazing day 🤩

Memorable experience worth every penny. Don’t miss.

Beautiful island for snorkelling and spending a fun day. The timing of the cruise was perfect, there was complimentary tea/ coffee on boarding. We took the glasss bottom tour and that was really fantastic. We saw coral, beautiful fishes and reef which was amazing.

Only 4 stars as it wasn’t the best weather. Staff on board were super helpful.

The staff on board were super friendly and helpful. The weather wasn’t the best for snorkeling sadly but we still made the most of our time on the island. Good price for first timers wanting to experience snorkeling, we had 2 kids 9 and 10 and they were able to see some fish and were lucky enough to have a swim with a turtle.
