Let me start this by saying that I am absolutely terrified of swimming in the ocean but I really love turtles so I sucked it up. My husband and I ended up being the only two people on our Wednesday AM tour with Hayden as our guide. Hayden made us feel safe and at home in the water and shared some informative and funny stories as we snorkeled around (which made me feel much more relaxed). We were so lucky to see not one but TWO turtles on our outing as well as many schools of "Dory" fish and a group of larger tarpons. This was a bucket-list level life achievement!
Would recommend if you get seasick easily, don't forget the waves will knock you around a lot so prepare well in that regard. We had to sit for a little bit before driving home. But that was hardly a deterrent and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! 10/10.
