View on Google MapsGreat in theory, We were on the Coyote II, the tour itself is wonderful, our problem was with our very young guide (would not communicate, was on her phone) and our captain, as we go by the island that has all the boobies, we asked euh, aren't we suppose to stop there to take pictures? So turns out, the captain didn't feel like it so we just saw it very fast. The snorkel, what an adventure that was, so many turtles, fish, sharks it was beautiful. We had 2 non swimmers in our group, we'd stay behind most times to be alone and not to disturb the marine life. On our third dive, for some reason that I will never know, our guide told the non swimmers to get back in the boat, as well as 3 other persons, ( we were 2 of the 3) and the rest of the group kept diving for another 20 minutes. When everybody was back in the boat, we asked our guide why she had us go back in the boat, we had done 2 other dives, we had proven that we were stong swimmers. She answered, you were tired! No we were not! Of course we were the oldest people on the boat (54 & 63) I guess it was more fun to dive with 20 year olds. Again the tour is beautiful and the dives are crazy beautiful. First time in my life, I didn't leave any tips.
The company messaged us the day before to confirm the pick up time and location, then did not show up on the day of the tour. They were unresponsive to text messages, WhatsAPP messages and phone calls. When they finally responded nearly 7 hours later, it was too late to tour that day, and all tours the following day were booked by all companies on the island. It is inexcusable to waste someones pre-paid money, waste their time and ruin a once in a lifetime experience.

Day was too long. The ride was very long and very rough. Would not recommend for older people or back issues. It was very jarring. Long day and lots of swimming to only see a few types of fish and sea animals. Water is cloudy ( not like the Caribbean) so be aware. We were also told we would receive pictures from our day from the guide , but when I inquired after our tour, I never got a response. We preferred seeing Bartalome and doing the tour on the yacht. Saw many more animals and much smoother ride. Would choose that one over this tour.
The guys at the agency were amazing, ever since I contacted them, they gave me amazing care. The 360 tour was complete, we did 2 dives and saw many fish, the food aboard delicious. I will definitely travel with them again.
Never book with these people. After taking our money and booking us for a very expensive excursion, they told us they didn't have room on that day and that we would have to come two days later. Then my travel companion got covid when they did have room for us, but they refused to give us a refund, not caring at all that we could come on the excursion and infect everyone else on the trip.
Excellent activity, the coordination of the operator was excellent, was always attentive to me, the part I liked the most was the snorkeling the guide was attentive to the whole group, apart from the food on board was delicious.
The 360 Degree tour itself is wonderful and I highly recommend it. That said, DO NOT book with Viator or Perfect Destiny - they charge $100 more than the tour costs if you book with any of the agencies that actually take you out. It's a complete ripoff. Book the 360 tour elsewhere!
Phenomenal after we got past the rough boat ride SE (2hrs), Smooth sailing! The guides, the captain, the crew were accommodating, attentive and always on the look out for animals. We snorkeled twice, playing with the ever friendly sea lion pups. Sea Turtles, sharks, sea urchins, star fish, exotic plant life were plentiful. We walked a path over land volcanic rock, rested on a beach, learned about nature from our passionate guide. Plus snacks, galore and lunch on the boat. The last snorkeling spot was at kicker rock. You don’t want to miss this opportunity, for a beginner snorkeled it was intimidating at first, but once I relaxed and breathed normally there was a stillness that is hard to describe. On the return journey two unexpected surprises: a dolphin pod numbering in the 100’s and then a humpback whale with a baby.
This was an excellent tour especially the last stop at Kicker Rock. Here we saw at least 2 dozen large hammerhead sharks swimming 10 - 20 meters below us. The adrenaline was really flowing but i still felt safe. This area has strong currents and recommend only strong swimmers go in the channel between the the 2 large tock formations. Others should stay outside that area and you will still see those hammerheads, white and black tipped sharks. Even sea turtles and swimming there snd the water is so clear to about 50 meters. Awesome spot to snorkel!
We visited 7 different locations and there were 4 different snorkelling spots including Kicker Rock in which time you can swim with hammerhead sharks, black tip sharks, turtles, puffer fish and seals. The boats were small with a maximum of 10 people on board. Lunch and refreshments were on board. All snorkelling gear and wet suits were included in the price. Don't forget tablets for sea sickness as the waters can be choppy and don't forget a hat and plenty of sunscreen as i saw a few burnt bodies out there! Great day which also allowed us to visit beatiful coves and if you are into birds there is the opportunity to spoty 3 types of booby (birds) and frigate birds also.
