The best boat day ever
Cassandra_T, October 2026
The best experience ever !!! If you have small children please please please do not hesitate to book it ! The team is so patient and attentive to the kids they make sure they feel comfortable and confident. By the end of the experience my daughter was literally swimming on her own ! The staff is so friendly and the boat is extremely clean I was surprised by the bathroom and how clean it was as well. And the food wow just an overall 10/10 experience
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Wonderful experience, especially for the kids.
W8501SWemmal, October 2026
Me and my friend, along with our 2 children (5yo and 6yo) had a brilliant day out with the coral quest. Pick up from the hotel was easy. We were educated about coral conservation and had a brilliant experience in the water. The trip is really child friendly, providing snorkels and life belts for the kids, who both had experience in the water already. Even if you don’t though, they are very careful and make sure you are safe in the water. The food was absolutely brilliant, cooked in their specialty boat kitchen. The reef had some amazing fish, and we even got to feed them. The team also had a go pro camera and were taking plenty of photos of us so we could concentrate on enjoying our time in the water. Afterwards we managed to fit in a little bit of shopping where we were encouraged to haggle down prices. All in all a brilliant experience, especially if you have a young family.

Great experience despite the seasickness!
L823SPrachelh, October 2026
The snorkeling was great, and we enjoyed the preservation discussion and education about the reefs. If you’re comfortable, strap on the flippers and swim down several feet to get close ups of the reef. There were lots of smaller, beautiful fish and wildlife viewable just a bit deeper than surface level. The vibe on the boat was great! The captain and crew were fun and friendly. Not overly crowded like some other boats we saw, and the crew easily switched between Spanish and English to accommodate the diverse families on board. Unfortunately, a member of our party got seasick about halfway through the excursion (obviously no one’s fault). They sent a speedboat within minutes to collect us and take us back to land ahead of the big boat’s return so she could get some relief more quickly. We missed what smelled like an amazing lunch, but we were so grateful they took care of our girl. They even called the transport van so it was waiting for us when we arrived back at the beach to get us straight to our resort so she could recover and enjoy the rest of the day. Lovely people!

The best!
Juan_P, October 2026
I went with my partner and my two kids, one 6 and the other 3 years old. The truth is it was incredible, safe, professional, educational, and fun. All the crew members were very professional and had a great vibe. The best snorkeling I've done, and I've done several. Highly recommended. Adrian our guide was excellent! The boat was very comfortable, the captain was always attentive to safety, there was a very passionate marine biologist on board, a person at the bar, and also a very cool babysitter!!! Excellent work, guys. If you are reading this, I recommend that you do it.
★★★★★Viator review
Peaceful, fun and educational snorkeling eco-tourism experience
Lisa_H, October 2026
We’ve snorkeled in Hawaii & Belize. This was our best snorkel tour yet. It’s more than snorkeling - it’s an eco tour where you learn about the reefs and help string coral for the nursery. Great info! It was a more of an educational tour but also had a good mix of snorkeling, music, dancing, food & drinks. They give you fish food - so there lots of fish which is really fun! For lunch they have a kitchen boat where they cook lunch on the water - the lunch options were amazing! We had Surf & Turf and the Seafood lunch which were so good! You also stop for drinks at the boat bar in the water which is fun. They do have drinks on the boat too. The catamaran style boat is great for anyone who get motion sickness- it was very calm. The group was small too which was great! We only had a group of 9, so lots of room and more personal. We highly recommended this for anyone who wants to go off the resort for a more authentic experience away from tourist traps. This particular tour is geared for more of a peaceful vibe than a route party crowd. If you want the major party scene, book the other tour. We wanted more peace and quiet so this was the perfect option for us. The staff was amazing and we made good friends from around the world. Would do this again and recommend to family & friends!
