Excellent trip for getting to spend some time on beaches - Loved spending time on different beaches. You could determine the length of time you spent on each one. We did the swimming with the turtles last and we were the only ones on the boat which made it even more special. There was only one turtle we found but it stayed with us for the whole time we were in the water. The boat then dropped us off on our hotel beach. We really enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend if you enjoy beaches, which we do. The driver guide was really chatty and took us to a temple and church for a quick visit on the way to the beaches.

Magical sea turtles - Swimming with giant sea turtles was absolutely magical. Even if there are quite a few tourists, nothing beats having a sea turtle swim right underneath you or take a chomp of food right in front of you. Satya our driver took us to a few beaches beforehand and it was really nice to see some other island beaches as they were quite different from the one at our hotel. His car was very clean and he spoke really good English so it was really easy to communicate with him. Really enjoyable day!

Nice experience to see the turtle - To see the turtle swim was very great but there are too many people at the same time. The beaches were beautiful to watch but not good for snorkeling. At the beaches were to many tourists for me. The driver was nice.

Very well organized! Too many boats at once. - Everything went wonderfully. The pick-up from the hotel, our driver was great and so was the transport by boat. What I didn't like at all: It was more like mass processing. About 10 boats, which is why so many people were snorkeling. A foot or a hand in the face was normal! Despite the information not to touch the turtles, some did it anyway! But they were reprimanded by the boat captain. I also thought that the boat would go further out but I could have swum from the beach. All in all it was great but too many tourists at once.

Unclear discription + long waiting time + imposed shopping tour - It was not written clearly that the excursion of the giants turtles last only 40-45 mins. The driver brought us to shopping in the early morning because the operator didn't have other customers, and they prefer to have more people on board. However the spot for the snorkeling is just 2 mins away from the shore of Trou aux biches ! And the prices of those shops are generally double from elsewhere, the owners are quite pushy to sell, we supposed that the driver could have his own part from the margin. Be careful to book with them.

Did not get to swim with any turtles - The product is advertised as skimming with giant turtles and four beaches. But most of the day is spent taking you to beaches nearby to each other, and then at the end a very short trip to swim with turtles. However, when we went there was one turtle as we arrived which then swam away before we had even gotten in the water. It was very disappointing and misleading to say this product is a turtle snorkelling experience. We only saw one turtle, not turtles. And we did get to swim with any turtles
