I was disappointed that the equipment provided was not up to standard. The fins were not adjustable and were very uncomfortable. In addition, there was little orientation to the use of the snorkel gear. The weather was not conducive to seeing the fish, which of course was not the tour’s fault, but given the conditions it would have been nice to have been given the option to reschedule.

Driver mentioned a suicide that happened at the blow hole a couple weeks ago - destroyed my mood before we got to snorkeling. My equipment wasn’t fantastic, even traded masks with my husband and still had leakage issues. Water murky even first thing in morning- must’ve been all the wind

We will review the quality of our equipment to make sure it meets our guests’ needs, especially when it comes to comfort and functionality. Regarding the water conditions, we understand how murky water due to wind can affect the visibility, and we know how disappointing that can be. While we can’t control the weather, we do want to provide the best experience possible, and we’ll look into offering better communication or options if weather conditions are less than ideal.

The driver (I forget his name) was amazing.. the snorkelling itself wasn’t great. The conditions were very choppy and a bit daunting particularly for kids - even adults. The last time I was there 15 years ago, the water was completely calm, so I just assumed (wrongly) it would be the same. That’s the risk you take - certainly no-one’s fault. But not a memorable day.

It sounds like the driver really made a positive impression, which is great to hear! It's a shame the snorkelling conditions weren't ideal this time, though. The choppy waters can definitely be tricky, especially for kids and those who aren't as experienced with the ocean. It's always a bit of a gamble with nature, and I can understand how disappointing it must have been, especially when you were hoping for a calm, enjoyable experience like you had 15 years ago. For future trips, we recommend coming on a Wednesday, as the water tends to be clearer by then. The beach is closed on Monday and Tuesday, so by mid-week, the conditions improve a lot. Hopefully, your next visit will have better conditions to make for a more memorable day!
