Good for first timers
Shpsurf, July 2026
Definitely book with transportation. Worth the money as the pier is hard to find on your own. Everything went smoothly from pick up to return. I am a diver, so for me this was boring but went with a friend who had never been snorkeling. She loved it. We saw a barracuda, pretty fish, and 3 turtles. Be aware the current is strong and if you are not a decent swimmer, it is a bit difficult. The guide was a bit fast and a bit unaware of people falling behind. Without me, my friend would have really struggled. We booked the early morning tour and I am glad we did as there will be many groups out there as the day continues. By the time we reached the shipwreck, it was a mob scene. However, all in all, not a bad experience.

Not as great as 3 years ago
Jing_H, June 2026
i booked this tour cuz I did it 3 years ago with the exact same company. But it wasn’t as nice as before. I feel very rushed this time. We did see a lot of fish. But I felt very rushed at very stop. I am not good at swimming and I swim very slow. Also the waives were really bad on the day so it was very hard for me to catch up. But I didn’t feel that the tour guide daisy waited. When we did it three years ago, the guided always waited me and one of the other girls. They offered water 3 years ago but they didn’t really this time untill we asked. They gave us time to apply sunscreen and follow our pace a lot last time. I was so happy with it so I booked again. The experience this time is much worse. I feel like they are just trying to rush for the next group. it is still alright but won’t book again or recommend to anyone else .
