It truly was the best snorkeling we had ever experienced. We swam among beautiful fish (and lots of them), sharks, string rays, giant manta rays, and large eels (which he was actually petting!). A delicious and plentiful lunch was enjoyed in beautiful setting with our feet in the water and brightly colored fish swimming around our legs. It was an amazing day. Thank you Ken for the memorable time!”
