We went on this excursion with two adults and two kids aged 10 and 12. I have been on similar snorkeling excursions in different countries. This was fantastic. They welcome you on with some breakfast items and drinks. They explain the snorkeling process very clearly. The snorkeling spots were wonderful - we saw a large variety of coral and sealife. They did encourage the use of life jackets for snorkeling, which is great because it does allow you to float and look down at the reef. They also served lunch and an afternoon snack. The staff was very friendly and encouraging to everyone. I was really pleased with our day.
Excellent. 3 dives. Very organised and safe. Dive Master Vinny was very attentive and good fun.
Very good day diving on the reef. The instructors were all very helpful and the onboard experience was fantastic. Lunch was great too! Would defo recommend the trip
the wine person was great
Bien organisé au global, le repas était généreux et varié. Le fait que les snorklers déjeunent en décalé par rapport aux plongeurs permet d éviter une attente trop longue. Les sites présentent une belle variété d’espèces, juste magnifique! Peut être une amélioration suggérée … les explication et conseils pourraient être plus explicites, de même qu’avoir un guide à l’eau serait un plus !
very good
Great activity. Extremely well organized. Great safety precautions and briefings. Gear was perfect. Beautiful underwater activity and plenty of water time at 3 sites. Boat was comfortable too. Loved the small size. It was civilized coffee/tea/muffins in the morning. The lunch buffet was lovely. Total surprise and did not expect that quality and choices. Especially appreciated the last snorkeling activity with the biologist. Highly recommend the company and the tour. Great crew.
Die Tour mit Silverswift war extrem aufregend. Besonders cool war der Schnuppertauchgang mit Carlos, der uns super betreute. Auch beim Schnorcheln an den anderen beiden Spots konnte man sehr viele bunte, wunderschöne Korallen und Fische sehen - einfach ein einzigartiges Erlebnis! Sehr zu empfehlen.
Great experience and good safety measures
