Turtle Canyon Snorkel Excursion (large group, super affordable)

Turtle Canyon is known for the large numbers of sea turtles that float above the reef while the reef fish swim around them and clean their shells. When the turtles come up to breath they can even be seen by spectators relaxing on the boat!The reef itself is around 20 to 45 feet deep, which is a little deep for snorkelers; however, the turtles are the stars of the show here, and they come up to the shallows and swim among people without a care.
