Not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy.Is it for me?Small groups keep the reefs uncrowded and the dolphins undisturbed, which is what makes a full day of snorkeling near wildlife feel like access rather than a spectacle — book this if you want to enter the water yourself instead of watching from the boat.
