Professional, reliable and honest - I had originally booked the exact same snorkeling experience with ZRI last year April. Unfortunately, that trip didn't go ahead since the company contacted me to say that due to low visibility, they would rather cancel the trip than take us with the risk of us ending up being disappointed because we wouldn't be able to see any fish. The money was refunded rightaway. In other words, a very honest, reliable company! This is why this year, we didn't hesitate to choose this company again. Most of us did not have any experience came with snorkeling. The crew explained everything clearly and extensively. My friends and I felt safe and comfortable at all times. We saw many colourful fish. In short: a fantastic first snorkeling experience for my friends! If you're looking for a professional, honest and reliable snorkeling company: look no further. ZRI is your go-to company! Thanks for a great afternoon team ZRI!

Great way to see underwater Unawatuna! - This was a great experience for us in our honeymoon in Sri Lanka. The company is small and friendly, meaning they're able to be flexible with timings. They arranged a 9am boat for us the morning after we booked on TripAdvisor, communicating conveniently via WhatsApp (they don't message you until the morning of the trip, so don't worry, but after that they communicate very well). We were the only people on the boat so were able to go at our own pace. Snorkel gear and life vests were provided for those that wanted them. We stopped to snorkel at three locations: a beautiful rocky shoreline with tropical fish; a shipwreck and over some really unusual, huge mushroom coral. Great value for a morning's entertainment!

The gist is you get wet & see fish !!] - This trip turned out better than expected. Take you gps as the tuk tuk driver will struggle with the meeting point. Not mentioned was a boat ride of 15 mins to Jungle beach to anchor off the rocks . No guide is mentioned which was / is a comfort to the less experienced. Not mentioned is a second site over a wreck in deeper waters hopefully bigger fish. Third site in shallower water the growth of soft coral returning after the Tsunami . Really worth the $40 a head

Soft coral and the colours of the ocean - What a morning, the guides were so friendly and helpful and safe. We saw the shipwreck and lots of schools of fish and amazing soft coral, it was a great activity that we really enjoyed, if in unawatuna it’s a great safe way to spend time in the ocean and the company we’re professional and really open and warm, do it

Great experience - Main objective was to see turtles and not let down, divers took us straight to them. Nice and simple no fussing, great experience to get so close.

Perfect for Snorkeling Beginners - As first-time snorkelers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience with ZRI Adventures. The team stood out with their patient approach to training, making sure we felt completely comfortable before entering the water. What impressed me most: - Comprehensive safety briefing and training - Clear explanations of everything we needed to know - Professional and helpful staff throughout - Reasonable pricing for the experience offered - Strong focus on safety that helped build confidence The entire experience felt safe and well-organized, which is exactly what you want as a beginner. Would definitely recommend ZRI Adventures to other first-time snorkelers or anyone looking for a well-managed snorkeling experience with a reliable team.

Exciting and well-organized - Making a reservation with Zri was hassle-free thanks to Zakib. They did an excellent job organising our snorkelling trip to Unawatuna. Our guide (Niroshan) and the person who handled the boat were super friendly and professional. The changing rooms provided for us were clean and convenient too. Thank you for making our little adventure memorable and we definitely look forward to booking another adventure with Zri. Highly recommended.

Bad reef - The guides and organisation of the trip was really good but the reef they took us to was really disappointing. No corals, very few fish and nothing else.
