We snorkeled here with Marcus and Alejandro. Such a beautiful ecosystem and so much to look at. It felt like watching the nature documentaries in real life. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! Full review by Jordan J

It was overcrowded with people; you could not swim without someone bumping into you. Shame because it would have been okay. Full review by simono67
I will be traveling with a 2.5 year old and 4 year old. Can they get into the water with their floaties ?

You would probably start at Hol Chan and then go over to shark ray alley. You don’t have to get out of the boat when they go to shark ray alley and most tours are only at that part for 15-20 minutes.
