It was a fun experience that only requires four hours for your day. Very conveniently located close to the Dreams Flora resort at about 10 minutes drive. Best to take advantage of the morning slot versus afternoon due to heat. Snorkeling adventures with fish, sharks and stingrays. Snacks, drinks and complimentary 15 minute massage included. Purchase digital photos at a reasonable price.

This was a unique excursion. You are taken by boat to a platform in the ocean. There are areas fenced off with nurse sharks & sting rays that you can swim with. There are kayaks & paddle boards to use. You can also snorkel all around the platform. There are some beautiful fish there. They advertise their power snorkels, but there are only two & it didn't seem like people were having much luck with them working. They also offer 10 minute massages & sandwiches, smoothies, soft drinks, water & other snacks. This is all included with your excursion price. You are free to roam around & pick the activities you want to do for as long as you want. There are also lounge chairs if you just want to lay around.

Eduardo Pablus with Amstar and was spot on with this excursion. Small boat took us to man made island where we snorkeled & saw nurse sharks & sting rays. Husband saw blue tangs as well. The only disappointment was the food & no booze.

A wonderful experience! First time snorkeling and the staff were very friendly! Lights snacks and sandwiches were much appreciated after spending time in the water. Massage was a nice quick break from other activities.

Here's the deal. The platform that you're on is beautiful, steady in the waves, and they provide some shade. One of the staff members, Juan, took me out with the life raft because I'm not a very strong swimmer and he helped me have a fantastic time seeing the nurse sharks and the rays. Without him, this would have been a one star experience for me. The biggest selling point for us was use of the power snorkel equipment, because the waves out there get pretty strong and you have to be a really strong swimmer to get from point A to point B. I was really excited to have something to help me move through the water. Unfortunately once you're on the structure, you're only allowed to use the power snorkel engine thing when you're in the nurse shark pen. You don't get to use it to look at the reef around the structure, you don't get to use it to swim anywhere else. Had I known that, I would have negotiated a lot harder on how much I was paying for this.
It is still very beautiful, and seeing the animals was nice.

Half-day excursion, long journey because you have to tour the hotels
Then we take a fast boat to go to the platform so no problem for seasickness
Then several choices: massage (we choose the area), kayaking, swimming with rays and sharks, snorkeling with people from the platform (quite physical activity), unlimited drinks and a few tapas, shower available on the platform with toilets.
Discovery of biodiversity that we don't have the chance to see in France
We recommend it

This excursion is not at all what is being sold. When you arrive at the scene, you wait 1 hour without really knowing why. Then, you embark on a bay without a life jacket.
You will see rays camouflaged in the sand and one or two sharks. Yeh. In the reefs, there are 3-4 very ordinary fish. A guy will bait a stingray and rush to take a phoro from you for $15 us. All this in 45 minutes.
Then you think about coming back but instead, the boat joins 6-7 other boats, all music in the carpet (different music) and you go into the water (we hit the bottom) and drink beer if you want. Wow, being in the sea surrounded by sound and gas polluting boats. Yiark. Disappointed, my boyfriend too.

I’m disappointed in what they consider a massage. I go monthly for massages and this was a major disappointment. It seems as if they bought a $5 roller and roll your body as a piece of dough. Hence, my calf muscle was injured and it took a professional massage to undo the pain that lasted 3 days. On a positive note, the snorkeling was fun. I recommend either changing your advertising or train the girls appropriately.

An amazing experience. The staff are lovely and well organised with the whole process.
Drinks as you arrive, then you are told to take a seat while others arrive.
Once everyone has arrived you take a boat to the platform/enclosure.
You are provided with equipment, drinks, sun loungers, snacks for throughout the few hours you are there.
You are given a quick talk about rules and then you are free to enjoy activities.
You are welcome to enjoy a lovely massage, sunbath, snorkel with the fish, (YES we get to throw bread into the sea and the fish come up to you to eat, and actually it’s amazing, it’s also amazing to get some out to the reef to see the smaller fish come up too, which there are a variety) in the enclosure there are stingrays which you are able to pet and there is also an enclosure with nurse sharks (I have seen many comments about the stingrays and sharks looking half dead, however this is not the case.
They swim around and nurse sharks live well in captivity due to being less active than other shark species, so smaller spaces do not bother them).
Anyway, we as a couple thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, we were able to paddle board and kayak and just do whatever we wanted too. We got some amazing photos with our phone under water.
Another point to point out, we were NOT bombarded with extra sales and at the end when people had photos taken by the camera man they could purchases pictures if they wanted, and we’re NOT being pressured at all to make a purchase.
Worth every penny, if you read up what to expect, it’s definitely what you get plus more.
Thanks to the lovely team for an amazing experience.
