Uncomfortable experience - Turtle tour was extremely uncomfortable, there was around 6 tour boats loading around 40-50 people into the water to follow one or two turtles, it felt really unethical for the turtles. It was like a 50m open water sprint to keep up while being kicked and ran into by all the other tours. We are a family of experienced snorkelers and this was by far the worst swimming experience. The boat and snacks and staff were nice, but turtle experience was close to uncomfortable. Better off saving your $400USD and going to your local beach where we saw multiple turtles comfortable in their habitats.
