Great day, great views, clear water, many fish - We went to the wrong pier and they kindly waited for us for 10 minutes. Grace, Luke, and Wes were excellent hosts. We saw a sea turtle while still on the boat but didn’t see it anymore when we got into the water

Fun dip in the summer. 10/10 recommend this snorkeling experience! The crew was very nice - Thanks Grace, Luke, and Wes for a fun time in the water! No sea turtle sighting but we'll come back to see them. They crew take you out to the water and you get to snorkel with schools of fish.

Turtles and dolphins!! - We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins on our way out, and saw multiple green sea turtles. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable about fish species and fun. One brought us up a sea urchin to hold. We were entertained the whole time, very convenient location with good sights. We went in the afternoon but heard there are more creatures active in the morning.
