We arrived to the event to find out that no one else had booked the excursion, so we had the option of waiting for a few extra people to join or spending a little bit extra money to take a private trip with just our family. Turned out to be a great idea as Lawrence the captain and Adrian the Snorkel guide were very knowledgeable and took great care of us,and we got lots of great pictures with animals and in beautiful water!
