  • Enjoy an intimate encounter with these creatures on this small-group experience
  • No need to visit the dive shop beforehand: all snorkelling equipment provided
  • With multiple sessions a day, make this experience work to your schedule

Terrible customer service

Well we have no memorable experience to share because they canceled on us 2x. Completely reorganized all our plans to accommodate their boat mechanical issues and then they ended up canceling on us again and they could only reschedule us after we were already leaving the island ? I said wow I really have a bad taste in my mouth right now and I would like to come back soon and do this experience again but can you offer me a small voucher or anything for our inconvenience and all the people we had to cancel on due to their cancels and she said no it basically sad not their fault and they will do nothing 🤷‍♀️ I’m not feeling the customer care here , sad to say but I will not recommend that’s terrible customer appreciation

Amazing experience! Because of Covid got pics for free, and they are so incredible.! The gentlemen were nice and knowledgeable. The only thing that could have been better is prescription masks.

Amazing Time!!

At first glance, my husband and I were a little nervous that the tour operator seemed to be a 2002 boy band of teenagers, yet they quickly showed their attention to detail and dedication to safety. My husband and I were able to see so many sharks it was unprecedented. We even saw a hammerhead from afar. Luckily, because I would have lost my s*** if it came any closer. We even got some cool pictures of us with sharks, however, we didn't really expect much because it's not like you can instruct a shark around for a nice selfie. The only downside was that I was stung by jellyfish over a million times. I hurt so much. But the crew gave me some ointment to relieve the pain and bring the swelling down. All in all, it was a once in a lifetime experience that my husband and I will never forget and would urge everyone to go on. PS, it is not as scary as you would think.

Our guides did an amazing job! While I would say senses were definitely on edge, I never felt unsafe or afraid. So peaceful and majestic creatures.

Oubliez la sortie organisée avec le petit déjeuner, le beau catamaran.... ici c’est la vraie vie! Tu montes dans un petit bateau , on était 6 participants , et trois hawaiian pur souche te mènent en pleine mer voir des requins en liberté, sans cage . Tu mets ton masque, tes palmes, tu sautes dans l’eau bleue foncée, et sous l’eau , spectacle magique !!! Les requins curieux arrivent de partout, tu les vois arriver des abysses, ils tournent autour du bateau , de toi, ca fait peur mais en même temps ils sont calmes alors on regarde et c’est tout.
