I went my sister. We are in our 60s/70s. It was amazing. At one point 10 rays were swimming and swooping among us. It's very easy. No swim fins, just your snorkel&mask. You float in the Superman position while holding on to a floating secured platform. They provide a swim noodle to go under your ankles and all you have to do is look down, breathe and be utterly amazed. Our group leader, Erika, was excellent. The entire experience is well organized and executed. They also provide a short sleeve swim zip up dive shirt.

Loved the snorkeling part! Had a great time riding with the crew. Our group was small which I loved. The people were nice. Reason for the 4 stars is bc we couldn't really see the dolphins. We can make them out from a distance but they weren't very active nor was it legal for us to get too close to them. Which was a bummer. But, the reefs and fishes from the snorkel was exciting and fun.
