The snorkeling and glass bottom boat were all good experiences. This is the second time we have done this excursion so we knew what to expect. The captain/glass bottom boat guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. It is disappointing that the coral was not as nice as it was 2 years ago. Overall though, I do think it is a bit expensive for what it is.
