If you prefer a smaller motorboat experience, this may be worth considering.

The tour displays a 3.9/5 rating based on 15 Viator reviews.

Those counts account for only eight of the reported 15 reviews.

Before booking, read recent customer feedback carefully, particularly comments about communication, punctuality, the boat's condition and the snorkeling experience.

Consider bringing:

• A towel
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• A hat
• Snacks if needed
• A waterproof pouch for valuables
• A personal camera
