A lovely day on board the catamaran. The boat was spotless and the crew were very friendly and caring. Great snorkeling with everyone's safety in mind. Staff were very knowledgeable about the coral reefs and the fish. Food was excellent and plentiful. Too much food if anything. Good range of drinks. Overall an excellent experience. Would recommend thoroughly even for those of older age like me.

The catamaran was beautiful and clean. I also liked the small group experience as I felt very looked after all the way through especially as I am nervous in water. The staff were also attentive and knew what they were doing and what was expected of them. The drink selection was excellent as something for everyone and food outstanding. I would certainly recommend this experience.

This was a wonderful experience, and the staff were very informative and kind. There were about 16 people on the boat, so lots of room to sit around. We saw lots of coral, and enjoyed feeding the fish. The only let down was ham in the cheese croissant, it had been described as the veggie option. The main food was lovely! Would certainly recommend this trip

Good mix of education, fun and environmental responsibility. Food was delicious but portions far too big. We could have managed a plate between the two of us as a sharing plate. Bar was varied and free flowing as stated. Enjoyed the coconut milk. Staff were fun and very professional. Safety was ensured at all times and crew were very supportive with anxiety at swimming at sea. The marine biologist was very informative and interesting.

My mother is 75 and has some reduced mobility but the guide/staff couldn’t have been more helpful, I’ve had surgery on my back and it in no way caused me any issues. The food was amazing and the crew 10/10 The snorkelling and beach trip was outstanding Do not give this trip a miss you won’t be disappointed !

The trip was perfect for us. We didn't want to spend a long time travelling to any experience really and the transfer time with our friendly driver was only 20 minutes from the TRS Turquesa Hotel. We were welcomed by friendly staff and given a lot of information about the reef and the environment. The service from the drinks, to the food cooked on a boat, to the lovely man who gave us coconuts to drink from was amazing. It was such a lovely trip, would highly recommend

Toller Ausflug. Wir haben während des Ausflugs viel gelernt und die Kulisse entlang des Bávaro-Beach war einfach nur atemberaubend. Die Guides standen den ganzen Ausflug über für jegliche Fragen und Anliegen zur Seite und man hat sich allzeit sicher gefühlt. Am Coco Beach haben wir die leckerste Kokosnuss getrunken, die wir jemals hatten. Ein rundum gelungener Ausflug auf der „Grandma“. Lediglich die Zeit im kleinen Korallenmuseum am Anfang hätte etwas länger sein dürfen.

I personally did not want to go as I am not a fan of boats as I can’t swim. But I absolutely loved it. Ideal number of people on the boat. Great facilities. Awesome staff . Excellent food. I cannot recommend highly enough.. I did not do the snorkel as it was too deep , but did everything else in the shallow water. Thanks for organising success a memorable trip. The mobile food and drinks station are an excellent idea, as the food was so freshly cooked.

Everything was fantastic. The guides were lovely, the food was amazing and the drinks selection was great. We wished there was a little more information about coral on the excursion itself, but there were a number of non-swimmers and children in our group so the guides had their hands full in the water ensuring all safety- the most important part! We wished we had a bit more time in the second snorkel stop but saw lots both times and would highly recommend

Boat was really good with a top deck and slide, crew weee constantly on hand to bring drinks up, food was much better than we were expecting. The main guide was brilliant, our 6yr old son was nervous and never snorkelled before and was struggling a little. he took him out personally and swam around with him showing him all of the fish and he even saw an eagle ray, he was so happy. Then finished off by going down the slide

We learned interesting facts about the coral, then set off. Snorkeling was very safe, and the crew will help those who are struggling (there is quite a swim from the boat to the coral) Lunch was excellent, free unlimited drinks, and free photos by the crew. First class excursion.

We saw turtles and loads of beautiful fish. The food from the boat kitchen was amazing (great veggie options). Very generous with the drinks. We had a great day and would definitely go again. They also take photos of you on the boat and underwater with the fish which they then publish free of charge on their FB page. 5stars

Fantastic half day trip. Info before we started out,from the marine biologist/ecologist. Saw some different corals. She explained alot and asked us questions. Taken to boat, had 2 snorkel stops,loads of fish at both. One stop was deep water,2nd was alot shallower so easier for me. We tied coral on to rope so it can be placed back into the ocean to regrow. Lunch was amazing. Staff were friendly,helpful and entertaining. babycchela was our guide, very very good. 5 star to all on the day.

Highly recommend the only aspects which let this down was a communication from the TUI wrap. I’d received confirmation emails after booking however was told on the day I wasn’t on the list and I should have confirmed in person 24 hours before but I’ve not been told this thankfully the tour company did have me on the list after initial stress.

Schade war, dass wir aufgrund der Algen am Coconut Beach nicht an Land gehe konnten, dafür kann der Veranstalter allerdings nichts. Musik auf dem Schiff war etwas laut. Etwas leiser wäre besser gewesen. Ansonsten ein empfehlenswerter Ausflug.

Overall we enjoyed the trip but felt it didn’t meet its brief in the sense that it was sold as an information-based coral conservation trip. We didn’t learn anything at all. The marine biologist onboard was very nice but spoke very little English. We weren’t given any time in the conservation project area on land and the ‘planting of coral’ activity consisted of each guest holding a piece of coral and pushing it through a rope. The food was massively overcooked and we couldn’t go on the beach.

Safety was paramount. Best trip ever ! The only negative was I almost missed the transport as I didn’t know they didn’t come into my hotel as the other trip had. So, it would be helpful to note the transport company, if possible, and also the exact location of collection, IE outside main gate !

We enjoyed the snorkelling and listening to the little bit of information about the coral reefs from the marine biologist however the whole trip was only 10% about the marine reef conservation and 90% of the time it was just a party boat with lots of drinking and eating. I think the description of the excursion needs to be more honest about that.

Really great trip . Collected from our hotel all in time . Short drive to the Coral Restoration centre. Everything was great . Very interesting listening to Paloma the marine biologist who explained the whole coral planting process. Great snorkel stops and we saw turtles !! Amazing food served on board. Brilliant day !!

From start the finish the whole day was spectacular. We started off by meeting a Marine Biologist who taught us more about the foundation and wildlife. We then went out on the boats and did some snorkelling which was so incredibly beautiful. I felt so safe, secure and free whilst swimming. We had coconuts on the beach, lovely lunch and the most amazing experience. I would recommend to everyone! Thank you so much!

They forgot to pick us up for this excursion but this was quickly rectified with a private taxi and speed boat to meet up with the group. The ecology part of the trip was good but really brief. We expected to be participating in reef restoration by building structures, but this did not happen. The snorkeling was good. The stop at a beach for coconuts was fun. The lunch at the floating kitchen was great. Overall a good day out but not as focused on ecology and reef restoration as we had hoped.

En helt fantastisk upplevelse där man fick vara med om väldigt mycket. 2 underbara snorklingsstopp, bad och bar i en naturlig pool mitt ute i havet, stopp för kokosnötter på en paradisstrand och den godaste maten vi åt på hela resan mitt ute på en flytande restaurang. Personalen och dess kunskap var enastående. Vi gjorde denna tur 2 gånger under vår resa för att den var så bra.

This was the most AMAZING thing I have ever done - even though I’m not a strong swimmer and scared of everything in the water this trip has changed my life. I enjoyed every moment and was fully catered for (the guide provided a ring to hold on to as well as life jacket which meant I could be pulled along whilst enjoying the snorkelling. I loved it so much I booked again a few days later - I will never get bored of this trip. Thank you for providing it such an amazing experience!

The guy from the coral restoration group was really interesting and it was a real privilege to plant new coral. It’s very impressive that the boat only takes 25 people unlike some boat trips we’ve been on and have felt like sardines! Nothing we could fault. Thank you

This was lovely, I really recommend. There are loads of fish and you get plenty of time for the snorkelling. I was solo and cant swim and was well looked after by the staff and felt safe. The meal was amazing. It's a pretty fun boat; you can roam freely on board and request music as you wish. Photos are great and free. I went in november and weather was fine. When moving, it can feel cold at sea even with the sun blaring down and water can be a bit choppy.

The guide (Ramon) and his team were excellent. The size of the group meant there was plenty of space and the timing of our tour meant there was.no overcrowding at the different stops. Didn't even mind the downpour that soaked us at the end. ??

Big shout out to Kelvin our tour guide he was excellent very informative about coral reef. The sea food platter was a bumper one with a variety of fresh seafood. There was also surf and turf option which was great. Lots of drinks too!

We loved learning all about coral and the reefs, helping build a ring of coral to support preservation and the two snorkel stops. Fresh coconuts in a beach, a delicious meal from a floating kitchen and the added bonus of a sea turtle! Amazing that the photos were free too, a novelty on these experiences! Without doubt the best trip we have done!

Couldn’t do enough for us, feeding us a wide range of drinks, fruit kebabs on sticks and ham and cheese croissant throughout the morning. Really delicious lunch cooked on a kitchen boat which pulled up alongside ours whilst we were moored out to sea. Overall, a brilliant experience! ??

The trip itself was good however we were promised photos from the guide of the snorkeling which we were supposed to receive by email but we have been home over 2 week and still no email which is highly disappointing. If we'd know we would be sent the photos we'd of taken our own go-pro. We have tried to contact TUi but had no response ??
