Amazing experience, would 100% recommend. Had a small explanation before going into the water about what to expect, as a first time snorkeller I was quite nervous but the instructors were very positive & encouraging. The 50 minutes in the water flew by, I would definitely come back! Getting the pics/videos underwater with their GoPro was a bonus I did get lucky because of cancellations I was the only one there, but I feel that even in a group they would be just as attentive

5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend this experience. It is even better than advertised (how often does that happen?!). Raffaella & Ron were excellent guides. We are novice snorkelers and they made us feel extremely comfortable and took good care of us. They also speak 7 languages! The excursion itself was magical we saw several species of fish and even got a chance to see an octopus and cuttlefish.

We really liked the trip. It was a shame that due to a strong wind we could not use the cable car but we manage to see a sun set from a different location. All guides were knowledgeable and open to questions. It was quite cold during the star gazing so put something wind resistant. I would recommend this trip as we really enjoyed it. especially star gazing. thank you
