The worst snorkel experience I have ever had and this was my 12th. They were overbooked... Didn't even have enough fins for everyone. Only one of three power snorkels were working. The massage was a complete joke. She rubbed oil on me and sent me off after i waited 40 minutes for my turn which lasted 8 minutes. We were... More

After snorkeling we went for a cruise along the coast with lots of dancing on the boat and swam in... More

I love sea animals and snorkeling so this is a great opportunity to swim with fish, sharks, and sting rays. After snorkeling is done they bring you back on the boat to dance and... More

We did the snorkeling and party cruise. Saw sharks and stingrays. The host and cast of the boat were fun, dancing and always walking around handing out drinks.

This tour was terrible. Cost $300. Once we arrived for the tour we had to wait over an hour for them to show up with a boat. Then the boat that was brought had 1 of the 2 engines working thus they hired a person in a little motor boat tied to the side of the boat that the engine... More

He speaks perfect Spanish, English and obviously French (He comes from Haiti). The whole crew (Adela, Bienvenido, Vidal... More
