Begeleide koraalrif-snorkeltocht

Due to a snafu with booking, they were overbooked on the day we scheduled. So, they upgraded us to a private snorkel the next day! Unfortunately, the conditions were terrible that day, and got much worse as the day progressed. Our guide, Roxane, worked with he leadership to get us a new slot the next morning. Conditions that day were not much better. So, we scrubbed our snorkeling plans. Huge props to Great Escape for trying so hard to get us into the water, but it was just not meant to be. They were even good enough to refund payment. Hope to come back soon and hit that reef!

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.

Hayden was amazing! He was patient and very knowledgeable. We originally chose a later time in the day, but the company reached out to suggest going earlier to ensure we had a nice experience due to potential afternoon storms and lower water visibility. The suggestion was well worth it and very much appreciated. We had such a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our snorkeling experience!
