I highly suggest this experience for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and thorough about safety before we entered the water. He gave individual attention to people of varying skill levels, though basic swimming ability is recommended. We encountered plenty of marine life, including small horn sharks. While the seals and sea lions maintained their distance, they were still present nearby, and the ocean landscape was stunning.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and ensured that all safety protocols were addressed before we entered the water.

Make sure to swim out to the open sea rather than just entering in the shallow area. I couldn’t join the group in reaching the bottom, but it appears stunning, and even a short swim is lovely.

Booking this tour last minute turned out to be a great decision. Rich was not only polite but also very informative, making the experience enjoyable. We spotted sea lions, horn sharks, and many Garibaldi along with other local fish. I highly recommend this tour if you're nearby.
