I did this activity with my husband and daughter both of whom are not good swimmers. It is the only one on viator I could find that is only an hour and a half which is perfect for people new to snorkeling. Captain Benoit was just as all the other reviews said -- very friendly and helpful and takes some great photos for you to cherish after you are back in your home country. My daughter, who is 8 years old, ended up being too afraid to stay in the water longer than 15 minutes and we simply gave the signal to Captain Benoit and he helped her get back on the boat. We still enjoyed the beautiful scenery and fish from the boat and my husband was able to do the entire time snorkeling even though he's not a strong swimmer as you are given the option of a vest, noodle and flippers in addition to snorkeling gear. Yes, there was gear that fit my daughter and she did go in the water and explore for a little bit but again that is why I booked the shorter tour in case she was unable to do the whole tour. I would definitely recommend this tour! You can always do a longer tour later on if you get a taste of snorkeling and enjoy it!
