We had a slight issue with response to emails regarding timings etc but this turned out to be just the way that our guide worked. He was early to pick us up from the hotel and in fact the time we got to the bay was perfect just as our guide said as it was alot quieter. We got amazing videos or the sharks and the look on my girlfriends face when we saw them so close made the day and our holiday.A great trip and would happily recommend this to anyone.jumpinjezabel

It was amazing, I reccomend it. It's a marvelous experience. It takes a little to get the place from Santa Maria but if you stay a week you must see the sharks.

Such a cool experience!! The sharks get so close, literally swim between your feet. Would definitely recommend as something to do. Go with a guide and give back to the community :)
