He also made sure we were all good throughout the day and to get pictures of everyone. 10/10 would recommend, pictures on point too. Surprisingly good with it being rainy season, I much preferred it.”

Review of Nassau’s 4-hour speedboat tour to Pearl, Rose, and Green Cay, with snorkeling, turtles, swimming pigs, lunch, and rum punch.

“The pigs were super nice and so cute!! The boat ride was awesome, great views and great vibes. I saw so many fish when we went snorkeling, way more than I expected, the water was amazing and so clear. The tour guides were super friendly and made it so fun - Captain Mike is the best. Complimentary rum punch and Bbq on a private island was amazing. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nassau!!”

A really enjoyable day - saw some beautiful fish and my other half was lucky enough to see a baby shark! Only negative is the hotel transfer is quite long.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,624 reviews · 8 hours · from $51

Review of Hurghada’s six-island speedboat tour, with dolphin watching, coral reefs, wreck snorkelling, beaches, costs, and practical tips.

“We went on a six-island snorkeling tour and overall it was a great experience. The snorkeling spots were beautiful, we saw a lot of colorful fish and corals, and the water was amazing. Each island was stunning, and it was really special to visit so many different places in one day. The islands themselves are a bit expensive, but they are genuinely beautiful. The guides were very fun, friendly, and entertaining. One important tip: I strongly recommend not buying the lunch in advance through the website. It was much more expensive and the food was very disappointing (dry chicken with rice). On the islands, there are plenty of food options…”

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Marietas Islands snorkel tour, including Hidden Beach access, wildlife, costs, swimming demands, and practical tips.

“Great adventure! First of all, it's a nice ride through the Bay of Banderas, which alone would have been great. The views were amazing, going over the waves in a speed boat was fun, and more importantly - we got to have multiple sighting of whales and dolphins! At the Islands we had 2 stops. The first one was for snorkeling, where we got to see quite a bit of tropical fish. Not the same caliber as coral reefs in Hawaii, but still very enjoyable. What was also very good was that we had 2 guides with us in the water, so it felt very safe. The second stop was…”
