PRO-SNORKELING to Explore Hidden Coral Reefs (MAX 10 PAX)

We joined a group of 12 people for this snorkeling trip and were pleasantly surprised by how well it was organized. There were 5 guides, which made a huge difference in terms of safety and personal attention. Most of the group were beginners, but we were interested in doing some freediving. We really appreciated that one of the guides stayed with us the whole time, allowing us to dive deeper while still feeling safe and supported. That kind of flexibility within a larger group was impressive and made the experience much more enjoyable for us. The coral reefs weren’t crowded – usually no more than 2–3 groups at a time – which meant we had a clear view of the corals and saw quite a few different fish species. The visibility was great, and the spots felt natural and not over-touristed. The last stop at a beautiful beach was a perfect way to end the trip, although that part wasn’t quite as exciting for us compared to the snorkeling itself – more for relaxing than exploring. Overall, highly recommend it whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Great team, safe environment, and beautiful underwater scenery!

The onboard snorkelling tour was excellent - it was superbly organised and informative from the moment we booked it. We received messages informing us clearly of what we should bring, what to expect and offering us additional equipment or services (like the photography package that we chose). We were collected from our hotel on time and we collected from three other hotels before we made our way to the port. Onbird pride themselves on safety and sustainability and they excel on both. Our first stop was close to a calm shallow beach, where we got to familiarise ourselves with the equipment with the guides checking that everything was ok. Here also, excellent instructions were given to first time or inexperienced snorkelers. Life vests are given to those that need them and then we head off to the first reef. Unfortunately for us, at the first stop the water was fairly cloudy, but it was still nice. The second stop was much clearer and there was more variety to the corals and the sealife. As we had paid for the photography package, there was a guide with a GoPro constantly trying to get good shots and video clips of my wife and I. We will see how good these are in 3-5 days after the trip once they have been edited. The last stop was at Starfish beach which was pretty. We were given a drink and some excellent fresh mango whilst we swam/dried/changed into dry clothes. After a short while we headed back to the harbour and then were dropped back off at our respective hotels. We enjoyed the tour, but I would suggest that it is perfectly suited to more inexperienced snorkelers or swimmers. Our tour was ten people and we always had four guides with us in the water. The guides regularly check on everyone’s wellbeing whilst pointing out the best spots and also make sure that no one strays from the route. Even after the tour, customer services were still checking that we were happy and enjoyed the tour. Everything that Onbird could control was fantastic, but as with any similar trip the water quality depends on the weather and many other factors. We enjoyed our afternoon thoroughly and would recommend it.

My husband and I absolutely loved doing this tour with Onbird. The reefs were amazing, and it was so nice to be able to see such stunning sea life. From the communication that we received before the tour and when they put the toothpaste in the mask, we knew we had made the right choice. I get nervous about being in open water, but yesterday, I did not feel that once. Everything was done safely and they were all very professional. Thank you ????
