Not only will you get to snorkel through the colourful underwater world, but you'll also play a pivotal role in coral restoration efforts, making every moment of your adventure count towards marine preservation. Maria, one of our local guides, says, 'You're not just a tourist here; you're part of the solution. Under the guidance of our expert team, you'll learn about and participate in cutting-edge techniques aimed at rehabilitating and restoring coral reefs'.

After doing your part for the planet, strap on your snorkel gear and plunge into two distinct coral gardens on a guided snorkelling tour, filled with tropical fish and sea creatures. Wind down your impactful day with some chill time at Coco beach, where refreshments like the ‘coco loco' – an ice-cold coconut drink – are as cool as the ocean breeze.

    This trip was excellent and exceeded our expectations, we had reservations after booking and reading that it wasn’t good for people with reduced mobility and back problems. My mother is 75 and has some reduced mobility but the guide/staff couldn’t have been more helpful, I’ve had surgery on my back and it in no way caused me any issues. The food was amazing and the crew 10/10 The snorkelling and beach trip was outstanding Do not give this trip a miss you won’t be disappointed !

    Overall it’s a good experience, but there could be more about the reef rather than 10 minutes of explaining what’s reef and why it needs to be protected. Staff are great

    The trip was perfect for us. We didn't want to spend a long time travelling to any experience really and the transfer time with our friendly driver was only 20 minutes from the TRS Turquesa Hotel. We were welcomed by friendly staff and given a lot of information about the reef and the environment. The service from the drinks, to the food cooked on a boat, to the lovely man who gave us coconuts to drink from was amazing. It was such a lovely trip, would highly recommend
