Before you go
Can non-swimmers join?
Yes. Everyone gets a life vest and our crew stays with you in the water. Many of our guests have never snorkeled before.
Is the boat shared with other groups?
No. Every booking gets its own private bangka and crew.
What if the sea is rough?
Safety comes first. If the Coast Guard or our captain cancels a trip, you can move to another day or get a full refund.
