“Great, private experience with amazing guide - We have enjoyed snorkeling with Ricardo a lot. Everything was extremely professional and with care for nature. Ricardo explained us the rules on how not to scare the turtles when we are swimming. It was a great private experience much better than doing it in the big groups from other tours we saw entering the water. We saw a lot of turtles and even an eagle stingray!” - Reviewed on 2024-11-15
