While there were some enjoyable moments on this excursion—like swimming with sea turtles and a brief but magical 2-minute encounter with dolphins on the way back from snorkeling—much of the experience was misleading and disappointing.
We were promised 3 hours of snorkeling at Mnemba Island, but only snorkeled for 45 minutes far off the coast.
