"Ahmed the owner was fantastic. He went out of his way to be helpful. Took two snorkeling trips and saw a giant manta rays and whale sharks. His hospitality was super excellent. He even invited us to have dinner at his home."
"Great location, close to pier, shops and restaurants. Amazing tours every day — swimming with mantas, turtles, sharks and an abundance of marine life!"
