Snorkeling was great. Lots of time to explore. Saw some sea turtles within minutes of being in the water. Boat was great. Better quality than expected. Lots of dolphins. Cool at first, then kind of funny because it was just a bunch of tourist boats chasing after dolphins. Poor dolphins.

It was great to see the dolphins in the wild, felt we could have been given more information about where the snorkeling would take place as we were taken close to the shore but the green algae everywhere in the water made it impossible to see anything. The picture of the tour is misleading - you don't get to swim with dolphins, only to watch them :-)
