Amazing places to snorkel - This was a fantastic snorkeling tour — maybe the best we’ve ever done. The Columbia reef was amazing. We saw giant lobsters, sting rays, sea stars and even a large shark! Our tour guide was really great with the kids and made sure our group stayed together and safe. My only two complaints— the boat would have been awkwardly small if most of us weren’t already close friends and family. We would have been sitting on top of each other. And there was no soda as promised. Just water, beer and some kids drink (my son had been looking forward to the soda). Overall a great day.

Relaxing and Comfortable Snorkeling - The experience was fantastic start to finish. The captain and mate were friendly and helpful. While snorkeling they guide you and make sure you all stay together and are safe. I hadn't been in the ocean in quite a while and they made it a comfortable experience. The best part was having DELICIOUS ceviche while standing on a sandbar, listening to music, drinking a beer, and watching the rays swim by. What a way to cap it off!

Fantastic snorkelling trip! - It was a fantastic snorkelling trip with May Be tours. We went to 3 snorkelling spots and each spot were incredible. We even saw a sea turtle! Our guide was great and went snorkeling with us and lead us to the spots where there was lots of sea life. We got drinks (juice, water, beer) and delicious ceviche for a snack. Would definitely recommend!

Loved my first time snorkeling - It was my first time snorkeling and I had so much fun. The first place we went too was very nice; we saw some coral I think. The last one there was not much to see but it was still nice.

Fun to stop in multiple locations - Really great boat crew. The stops were a little quick, and sometimes crowded, but it was as promised. Lots of fish and sea life. The ceviche was amazing.

Maybe will show up; maybe not - Booked a snorkel tour for max 15 people in a covered boat. 20 min after our departure time a rep from a different company showed up, herded all of us onto an open boat with at least 20 other people, and took us out. No explanation provided and the people I booked with won't answer me. We suspect that something went wrong (boat problems? missing personnel?) and that the tour operator made an arrangement with another company to honor our booking. Still, they should have been upfront with us and *absolutely* should have made clear that we could go if we wanted but that it would be a very different experience, and should have offered a refund if we declined. I'm very disappointed (and sunburned). Absolutely would not recommend doing business with this company.

Port was closed for... - Port was closed for excursion, but found out too late and had already taken taxi to port where excursion was to leave from. Upon arrival to port than found out port was closed. Received message from excursion too late. Ended up paying for over priced taxi to port and than again back to ship terminal.
