Try dive for the kids

What a good experience. It started out a bit hectic with filling in data and a small e-learning. But the instructors were calm and gave good explanations. Eventually split up, with the Kids doing their try dive and the two of us going forward and deeper. Beautiful things seen and a great experience for the Kids. Highly recommended

Great experience with Geo.

Awesome experience but make sure you can swim and are in shape. We swam out into some large waves and were paired with a tourist that could not swim very well. Our guide Geo was great though and took care of everyone and made sure we were all safe at all times. You see some amazing fish on this snorkel and it is the next best thing to scuba as far as visibility and marine life. Great experience.

Best Snorkeling I've Done Here

The best snorkeling I've found here and the guys at the dive and snorkeling club were incredible. This is different cause you enter the beach and swim out to the ocean walls and the amazing reefs. Great time, the team was also very cautious with some of the weaker swimmer in the group.

Snorkel experience

This was definitely an experience. We saw some amazing things! The coral reef, shipwreck, and fish were amazing!! The pickup and drop off was different than expected. A car picked us up and drove us. We thought it was a bus. You go to this little fenced area back in the woods. We did get to hold pepe the iguana! Definitely need to he able to swim. It was very windy and rough conditions. Our guide did an amazing job. He made sure everyone had a good time and took us to see things no one else did

Beautiful fish!!

Great experience! I was the only person with the guide. I am not a strong swimmer so felt a little nervous especially in the waves but I felt safe. I saw a lot of beautiful fish!!

Friendly snorkeling experience

RJ is the coolest guide I've snorkeled with. He had local knowledge like every other guide, but the way he shared his knowledge made everyone in our group feel like they'd been friends with RJ for a long time. Paddle-kayaking added a fun and relaxing twist to our snorkeling experience. We snorkeled the amazing Mangel Halto area which was exhilarating. RJ provided fins with excellent snorkels / masks along with a cooler full of drinks and wetbags for our belongings. When my son got tired, RJ valiantly towed him the rest of the journey. Everyone in our group said it was the best part of our trip.

Good, but reset expectations.

It says that the excursion is 2.4 hours, but about half of that was the drive to the snorkeling spot and getting fitted for the equipment. Other Viator experiences have had the experience last for the posted time. The guides were friendly and helpful and there were plenty of fish to see.

Great guide, and so many fish!

Snorkeling with Nautilus Deve Center was great fun. I went by myself, and since I was the only one signed up, I got a private experience. Javier spent a fair amount of time getting me into equipment that fit my tiny frame, but didn't spend ages going over everything, which I appreciated: I wanted to get going and get in the water! Javier was terrific, keeping close to me. He was very attuned to my safety and comfort level. Saw lots of beautiful fish; I wish they'd had a poster or handout or something listing the fish we might see. I had read the Mangel Halta beach could be challenging for some swimmers, but I did just fine (Javier accused me of lying when I said I was only a pretty OK swimmer, when he thought I did quite well.) Overall, a fantastic experience I'd be happy to repeat.
