“The water is extremely choppy and the boat bounces with excessive motion. All of the tours seem to go out to the same general area to snorkel for turtles. The guide didn’t provide much guidance or point out species of fish etc. we saw one turtle that disappeared quickly likely due to the tremendous number of people in the area. There were 6 boats of 25-50 people each parked in the same area. Do not go on this excursion if you have any motion sickness issues. 4 out of 6 people in my family alone that all premeditated still got sea sick.”
