No dolphins - but turtles!
Barbara_P

Our group of 6 enjoyed the snorkeling, but never saw the dolphins on the excursion. So free return vouchers for all. We visited 2 different snorkeling spots, and swam with the turtles on the second spot. A little better communication between the spotter and captain would be nice though.

Worth it. Great time.

Friendly staff and quick office visit before getting on the boat. Easy. They use a smaller boat w only Max 20 people. This is great. We saw turtles and spinners pretty fast. The smaller boat is agile. we were able to find a pod and then slide quickly into the water and swim right next to them. Extra bonus for funny captain and honu drop bys. Easy for beginners and the nervous.

Dolphins and Sea Turtles!

So many dolphins while on the boat! But they didn’t like us as much while in the water. I was able to watch a few swim underneath me when I got in though! Also saw sea turtles, tons of fish, an eel and an octopus! The crew was very knowledgeable and made it a mission to get the dolphins come to us :) Definitely recommend!

My entire family can’t stop talking about what an amazing and magical time they had. This was our first time doing this and didn’t know what to expect. We got to see and swim with so many dolphins and turtles. The crew was so friendly, knowledgeable and we felt completely safe and well taken care of. Once in lifetime memorable experience!

We snorkeled among two different pods of dolphins. The spinners were near the shoreline and the pantropical were out in the deep blue! It was amazing! We absolutely loved our guides. They were knowledgeable, super fun, and very friendly. They tried to get to know us and remembered our names. One of them snapped candid photos/videos of us then sent them to my phone. Oh and the speed boat was so fun!! I think the smaller size boat helped keep seasickness at bay. I would book another tour with them in a heartbeat!
