“I went with three friends and we had a fantastic time! One of us became very sea sick and she was not able to snorkel but our guide, Kris, did a great job making sure she was okay and that the group was able to enjoy their snorkel as well. Kris was very informative about the animals and coral we were looking at and allowed us to explore at our own pace. And we got to see multiple turtles!”
