Reviews
This was a surprisingly fantastic tour. The staff was friendly, they found beautiful places to snorkle. They gave us enough time to enjoy and not feeling rushed. The lunch just appeared without us noticing the preparation. And we got great fotos and videos at the end to bring home as memories. Highly recommended!!!
We had a great experience and the staff was so nice and helpful. We had a fun time on the sea and a very relaxing but eventful day. The only downside was that we didn’t see any sea turtles but other than that it was a good experience. We were only 8 on the trip which was very nice so the boat wasn’t to crowded. Lunch was also very good. Would recommend:)
incredible day of snorkeling with a lovely crew. Lifelong memory, definitely recommend.
We are from Guangdong, and the captain and crew were very welcoming. We also had a great time with other Japanese friends. If the weather is good, the jelly sea is absolutely beautiful, and you can get up close with various fish while snorkeling. If you're lucky, you might even see sea turtles. Highly recommended!
