Very pleasant day, we rented a boat for 8 people without license, by the advice of the owner we have almost Well ex - We were able to admire at different stops the magnificent fish, as in an aquarium, turtles. The first buoy is not the most interesting stop, but the others are beautiful. To do without hesitation.

Magic - The right compromise to get to the pigeon island away from the tumult of malendure where it is impossible to park. You take your boat without a black-tipped licence and you go towards the pigeon island. The course is punctuated by buoy where you hook your boat ....each buoy corresponds to a snorkeling spot. Driving is very simple and we could see wonderful funds we recommend this activity

A great day in Guadelupe - It was a great way to spend the day in Guadelupe! Instructions were clear and we had our own buoy to tie up to at a beautiful beach, as well as the tie ups along the reserve. I wish the boat was a little faster, but I guess that’s why we didn’t have to have a boat license to operate.

Best way to visit Cousteau! - Perfect half day on the water, such a relaxing trip, on our own schedule. The snorkelling is to die for! Charlie was attentive and provided great instructions. Two kids 7 and 9 had a great time, snorkelled a lot and chilled on the boat eating snacks while the parents swam a bit more around the boat. 4 hours goes so fast!!

Great experience! - Hired the small boat (sans licence nor experience). Vincent gave great instructions (in English) and safety advice, and responded well when we had an issue when the weather got unexpectedly windy. Great snorkelling. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful snorkel tour - For people who want to travel independently, this is just the deal. A small boat with sunshade and outboard motor, which is easy to use. Before the start there was a short briefing (in English) from Vincent. The deposit can be paid by credit card or in cash. There were waterproof bags for your own things. You also need these because you have to swim back to the boat and later. Vincent was very helpful in this procedure. Otherwise they are nice snorkel spots and time passed far too quickly.

Great boat trip - Vincent helped us a lot. We could take the seabob at sea for a low price. This was really cool. The sea was a bit wild, but you have plenty of time to see the places. + Beautiful underwater world

Quick and easy - Quick rental and checkout. We are very familiar with boats so this was quick and easy. Owner got us setup and on our way after a quick brief of the snorkel spots. You do have to wade out to the boat, but you are getting wet at some point anyways!

Nice. - Nice ballad well organized and well explained. Allows to approach the beach of malendure without the rush of beaches. Welcome not great at first but the return was better.
