An absolute must when visiting the island! There was 3 of us women who had never snorkeled before but our guide was great with explaining everything to us and made sure he went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable time. Thank you!

Brady was super friendly and helpful. It was a bit chilly so we cut the snorkeling short and he gave us a boat ride. We had a great time!

It was an amazing experience with Pavi!!! It was a small boat which made for a great one on one experience!!! When we got out in the open he was very detailed on how to use the snorkel gear!! The water was amazing and we were able to take shells home!! He also played my favorite song Pontoon which made the ride even better!! 10/10 recommend for beginners or any snorkeling experience you have!

Dolphins make everything better. Thank you for your review.
Todd_R, Apr 2023
It was amazing. Our captain made sure we were comfortable with our equipment and took time to make sure we would be comfortable in the water. He had food to attract the fish, and took us to see dolphins on the way home. It was perfect.
