The swimming, paddle board and snorkeling was great. The ride to the sight was not for the faint of heart. The speed was fast and I pitied the fool going slow when we wanted to pass. That said, the experience was excellent. Also, if you are a poor swimmer or need lots of hand holding this might not be the trip for you. (Swimming aids were in short supply) For my wife and I the trip was great.

This was an incredible experience! Our guide was very sweet and was there if we needed her along the way. After each of my falls on the SUP she was there to make sure I was okay. We had an extra cool experience and saw an eel! Overall, an amazing excursion!
