Exceptional! - Ive never been on a tour where they just give you the photos they took. Loved it!! Thank you! I’ve never been on a tour where they guaranteed a sighting. They promised an octopus and would let us take our tour again at no cost if we didn’t see one. That’s crazy cool!! Thank you. We saw eels, king crab fishing, puffer fish, stingrays and more. . And YES an octopus !! Don’t be scared of this water at night its safe here!

A MUST - If you snorkel, this is a must! Our guide, Lalo, was very helpful, fun and safety conscious. Everything seems to come alive at night. The colors are more brilliant and the fish and other animals are exciting to view. Price, location…great! This will be a go-to every time we visit!

An awesome and fascinating experience! - What an amazing experience!! I live in Hawaii and have snorkeled around the world and I have to say this was one of the more memorable snorkels I’ve done. Even though I was the only one on this dive, Lalo, my guide, was extremely accommodating, informative, and full of energy. The equipment was top notch including the wet suit which fit perfectly. Because I was an experienced snorkeler we got to see and do a lot of really neat stuff. About 5 minutes into the snorkel we started seeing a new sea creature seemingly one right after the other. Starting with a porcupine fish, which Lalo would pet, to a stingray that eerily glided in and out of the range of our underwater flashlights, we encountered cuttlefish that glowed different colors, squid that were hunting, a huge octopus out in the open that was not shy and seemed to enjoy displaying all its different colors, a huge crab, a spiny lobster, different types of rays, a variety of colorful fish, and more. Lalo even demonstrated how to generate bioluminescence by swishing my hands back and forth rapidly underwater. The fact it was night time added a ghostly feel making the dive even more exciting. Lalo was awesome and he provided me with an extremely enjoyable experience. I highly-highly recommend this night snorkel.

Night Snorkel - Night snorkeling with Lalo was an amazing experience! We are fairly experienced snorkelers but had never been at night and will definitely be doing it again because it was so much fun. We got lucky and saw multiple octopuses, squid, king crab, lobster and other critters that come out at night. Lalo explained everything in detail and made us feel completely safe and comfortable and was an excellent guide. Cannot recommend this activity enough!!

Best experience. It was magic! - It was one of the best experiences I've had. Lalo is a really great guide. It was my first time snorkeling at night and I can say that it was better than many of my dives. We saw so many animals, octopus, rays, squids, puffer fish, lobsters, crabs to count a few. The water is sparkling at night with fish and life. It was magical!

A Whole New Snorkeling Experience! - This is a not to be missed experience if you really enjoy aquatic life. I’ve previously recommended the MB for it’s day time views but It really is a different world at night, you’ll see a lot more critters, and the coral, (what sadly is left of it) is very vibrant by flashlight. We saw an octopus, starfish, king crab and puffer fish. Alajondo was a GREAT guide and kept safety paramount with our group of 3. If the thought makes you nervous my wife is definitely a novice and I had taught our other party member the day before.

Excellent experience night snorkeling - My partner and I are avid snorkelers but we have never been snorkeling at night before. It was SO COOL! We saw a squid, lobster, eel, tons of king crabs, and more. We had an excellent experience with Lalo who was very timely and clearly cared about us having a fun experience while also staying safe. We had a time commitment that slightly interfered with the timing of the night snorkel, and Lalo went out of his way, totally above and beyond to make sure that we were accommodated. Would definitely recommend this experience and we will be back next time we're in the area!

You won’t regret it! - Eduardo is great! He was attentive and helped us find so many creatures like the yellow stingray, the slipper lobster, spiny lobster, cute little squid, and even a gorgeous long eel. He also took video of us with the animals we saw whenever possible for free. I’d really recommend this experience!

Awesome and totally amazing Night Snorkel - Wow, what a totally amazing hour of my life, up there with the best. The ocean comes alive at night and we were privileged to see some amazing sights on our night snorkel ..:. Octopus, Moray Eel, Rays, Lobster, squid, cuttle fish and king crab. This exceeded our expectations by a country mile. Our guide sorted us out with all our kit and briefed us ahead, we didn’t need life jackets but they were available had we felt we needed them. Our guide was super knowledgeable, mare sure we had a great experience and we felt very safe. Really cannot rate this trip high enough, one ticked off the bucket list.
