No, we will provide snorkelers with flotation aids so you don’t need to know how to swim. However, you do need to be comfortable in the water as we will spend 1 hour on the reef. Snorkelers will be provided with snorkeling equipment, life vests and, if preferred, snorkeling noodles for flotation. Guides will instruct on snorkeling techniques for beginners.
A group tour may have participants who don’t know each other.

Previous Guest’s Experiences
It was me and my boyfriends first time snorkeling and I’m happy we went through with it! We felt safe in the water the whole time and the location was nice. We were hoping to see a turtle but I still loved seeing all the marine life and coral
All the staff were very hospitable and knowledgeable. Tiger, our snorkel guide, was terrific. We saw all kinds of great fish and even a sea turtle!
