Had a great time, our guide Wes was great! He found the sea turtles! I was having issues with the underwater phone case I rented and he took care of it on the kayak! The views of the mountains from the water are beautiful!

"Kayak and whales. Incredible!"

Our guide, Wesley was fantastic. He is super chill and friendly. Start the trip off with a fresh coconut! Heaven. The snorkeling wasn’t very good just a handful of not too bright fish. I think the reef has just been destroyed. We saw 1 turtle from the kayak, none when snorkeling.

"Check out the turtle cleaning station"

We just finished our tour with Wes, and really had a great experience! Kayak is about 15 minutes out to one location to snorkel around the coral and see the schools of fish. Then the second kayak brought us to the “turtle Cleaning station“, Where turtles hang out and take their time waiting on the fish to clean them up all around their shell next and even the undercarriage!
