Wilfred is an outstanding snorkeling instructor. His calm, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic approach makes every session both safe and enjoyable. He explains everything clearly and patiently, so even first-timers feel completely at ease in the water. His passion for marine life is contagious, turning each trip into a fun and educational experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about both safety and enjoyment. Whether you’re a beginner or have snorkeled before, with Wilfred you’ll see the ocean in a whole new way. Highly recommended.

Hanna and Henry were fantastic guides! There was an issue with my suit and Hanna was so quick to see it and get me back to land and continue the tour for the rest. I went back and Henry took me out on a private tour. They were friendly, accomdating, quick to fix issues, and professional. Would recommend and would return.

Swimming between the tectonic plates was fantastic :) The suits were dry, I stayed warm, the water was incredibly clear. Our tour guide Linn really helped make the experience, showed a lot of personal interest, she was funny, engaging, friendly :)
