The catamaran was spacious and able to fit everyone. Good view from the front and the crew was professional. Food was relatively good, with fruits and snacks. Time allocated was enough for us to snorkel twice and we saw quite a few fishes and a beautiful sunset. Highly recommended as it was very enjoyable!

The most exciting, fun, adventurous experience of my life!!!! I thought I could drive the ATV but opted to be a passenger instead, and I had so much fun!

What an amazing experience. A huge kudos to the team for taking an extra step to have a lunch box specific for me as I requested fish and veg food as I had halal requirements.

We had an amazing time at our first ever time trying scuba diving. Our instructor Ohn, was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. she was a great teacher and made us feel comfortable and safe. Ohn also took really great photos and videos with the underwater camera. I would definitely recommend this experience!!

It was perfect from the pickup to the ATV experience. I experienced it alone, but thanks to the friendly guide, I was able to get some nice pictures and videos. If you like activities, I highly recommend it!

Was a great tour. However you need to pay for things on the beach such as sun deck, drinks on the beach and washroom on the beach etc. Trip on the speed boat was great. Food is average for a tour.
