This marine wildlife safari and snorkel tour is only for guests who want a fast ride. The tour runs on a Navy SEAL Zodiac boat and the boat ride can be rough & bumpy, especially when the waters are choppy. If you want a slow, smooth ride, book another snorkel tour on a cruise boat instead.
On the tour we take you to a coral reef snorkeling location on our fast boat, and on the way we explore sea caves along the coastline and look for dolphins, whales and manta rays. Swimming with dolphins has been illegal since late 2021, so you watch them from the boat.
Snacks, drinks & snorkel gear are free and the tour time is between 3 and 4 hours but depends on weather conditions and snorkeling time.
