It was our first time diving and it was great. Even though my girlfriend was panicking after jumping to water, Marin who was our instructor helped her to cool down and she dived throughout the whole day. Marin was very friendly and experienced instructor that explained everything in details and ensured that we understand everything so that the whole activity go safely. We had a chance to see multiple species of fishes, lobsters and young turtle! How cool is that? Moreover, Marin took awesome photos and videos which will remind us about the great day. I totally recommend this activity to everyone!

It was a two-hour tour where we drove the speedboat ourselves, went through the mangrove paths, went to the snorkeling spot, snorkeled for 40 minutes, and then returned by speedboat! It was very easy to understand, the guide was very friendly and fun, and the two hours flew by! But it was just the right amount of time and we enjoyed it very much! We went in the morning, and I recommend it★

Defiantly great value for money, you get to drive a speed boat and snorkel in the ocean. 100% recommend.

Loved the tour guide! Excellent instruction prior. Safety was great!

amazing ! everyone should experience at lease once in a life time
