our guide Beatriz was brilliant and a turtle gliding right under us was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and water was like 28 degrees.

our guide Nadia was brilliant and a whole school of parrotfish was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Great if youre not super fit, and water was like 28 degrees, and handy if youre short on time, and saw turtles and 20+ fish easy. Would book again no question.

our guide Marco sorted everything for us and a stingray half-buried in the sand was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar snorkel trip we tried in Phuket, 10/10
