There were different boats doing these tours . Our bay tour was with Amstar . They did an English speaking tour which was very nice ! All Americans were on this tour due to the language barrier so this was wonderful .
Our boat though was like a big fishing boat . The tour guides were really great .
What most people on this tour with us agreed upon , it was too long - we went out way too far and our boat has to go very slowly and there were BIG waves we had to cut through . I was kind of afraid at some points about tipping over sideways on our way back .
We got to snorkel at two bays . The first one was hard to enjoy . You get out in water , never land - and you could not see much . The water was cloudy and the waves were too big to allow it . We stayed there an hour - bring money if you want anything like a rented beach umbrella or a soda at the shoreline which is also pretty tough to get to . Waves were just bad . We stayed about an hour at each bay .
The second bay was amazing . You could see so many things and the water was beautiful . We saw an octopus !! We all loved this place and it had a great little beach area . We all said , they could cut this tour in half instead of making it a 6 hour excursion and just take people to the second bay which is half as far away !
The views were beautiful around a the first bays but after you’ve seen them for a good hour on this slow , big and rocking boat , you’re ready to get off . We had three people get sea sick and vomit . So take your Dramamine and I suggest the patches that go behind your ears ! Again the tour guides were great and helped you see fish while snorkeling !!
