80 reviews of the private boat and snorkel on Viator
We had a great boat ride and snorkeling experience! Loved how private and easy going it was. It was also flexible as we weren’t too interested in going to the more “touristy” beach for lunch after snorkeling. Instead, our guide found us some much smaller, less crowded beaches to spend time at. Would definitely book again!
We had a great day with Chemi and Ariel (sp?). Great guides and a relaxing and enjoyable day. The timing was perfect as was the lunch spot.
We had a fun time looking at all the fish and getting a education on the islands. Had a great tour guide named Sebastian who is great
