Becoming one with the Sea
The snorkeling was great and surroundings magnificent. The crew was just as accommodating as you could ask for and the boat and food were great. The price may seem high but for an almost 14 hour adventure totally inclusive package it’s very reasonable.

From start to finish the...
From start to finish the experience was incredible. All the crew members were professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. The food they provied was excellent. I do not have enough words to describe how amazing the beaches were. We got to snorkel next to the Sea Lions and even though the water on this specific area was not very visible this time, it was still amazing. We are definitely coming back but now with family members. We would like to do a private tour.

Perfect day!
Dolphins, rays, sea lions, and tons of fish, we saw so much! Delise and Hector were great, giving us little bits of local history and wildlife info, and answering questions. The boat was comfortable and the lunch was good, at a really lovely beach. The snorkeling was the highlight. We all had sealions approach us playfully and swimming through the arch and over the reef was just amazing. We would 100 percent do it again! What a great day!
