“Best snorkeling/catamaran experience we’ve ever been on—and we’ve been on a lot. The vibe was low key and family friendly. Could have had maybe a tad more time at the shipwreck site (that’s where we saw a turtle), but the generous snorkeling time at the next site made up for it. We saw some corals doing a-okay and some unique reef fish. Ending the adventure with the rope swing was awesome! Highly recommend!”
