IMPORTANT: The snorkeling portion of this tour is only reliably good from December through April and is usually not included as an activity the rest of the year. Sometimes, when the weather is cooperative at other times of the year, snorkeling may be offered but should not be expected, and often the water clarity is not great. It is important to consider that if you do not have experience traveling in small boats in the open sea where the boat is constantly moving, you may experience seasickness and dizziness. This is not the responsibility of the provider and often a motion sickness pill will not prevent you from feeling this way. Please take this into consideration before booking the activity as it is your own responsibility, not the tour operator or PTW.
