We had a fantastic time snorkelling at Akumel, we saw lots of turtles and our guides were both fantastic. We were a group of 10 so we had two guides and they explained loads about the turtles and coral etc. what a memorable experience 😊

Amazing guide and great pics! It was a small group tour, and it was great to hear lots of information and observe many turtles. We even spotted a baby turtle :) Highly recommend this tour
