Customer reviews

• Gabrielle P. (4.0/5), 09-10-2015: We really enjoyed this trip with our 9 yr old and 6 yr old. The staff were helpful the locations superb. We would recommend to a family looking for something less commercial than a big platform. Our consultant natalie at travstar was very helpful putting us onto this tour.
• Jacquie P. (5.0/5), 14-01-2015: Fabulous day out and very well organised.
• Dione D. (5.0/5), 05-01-2015: This was my first time snorkeling and I had a blast. My crew for the day was Dom, Sarah, Matty, and Tom, and they were all 100% lovely! They gave us stinger suits (for jellyfish), all the snorkel materials we needed, and noodles to help us float along. At one of the locations, Matty even swam down to get a sea cucumber for us to touch. I had such a fun day. I definitely recommend using Travstar and Calypso!
