Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- avej20180 contributionsWonderful experienceOne of the most exciting experiences I've had, the wonderful place, and the truly honest and professional guide, the unsurpassed price quality, and he even filmed and took photos of me with so much care and passion that I was impressed... really not to be missed if you come to mirissa, unique experience. You will find many who will offer you the service, but for me he is the best, also for the excellent experience, especially if you have never done it or are inexperienced... Thank you for everything!Written 13 December 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a great time snorkelling with the team. We booked online and met them at their base location before heading down to the beach. The guiding was great and we saw several turtles and swam across a reef. All the while, our guide filmed and photographed the dive and sent the files across afterwards for us to keep. I would definitely recommend Snorkelling Turtles, which was one of the best things we did in Mirissa.
Whilst you could rent snorkels on the beach, we benefited significantly from having a guide especially as the currents can be strong.

ATTENTION!! In the last reviews, a picture of the alleged guide was posted. That is not him!!! Due to this confusion, we took our tour with the wrong person and there was a big misunderstanding. The actual provider reacted with understanding and thankfully refunded the invested costs 🙏🙏🙏

We had an absolute blast with this instructor! Not only did he capture amazing photos, but he made sure we were having fun the whole time. He went above and beyond, showing us turtles, an octopus, and tons of colorful fish. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fantastic adventure!

My husband and I went snorkeling at sea turtle bay in mirissa and had the most amazing time! This was my first time seeing wild sea turtles up close and was very excited to see just how many there were swimming with us! There was also lots of beautiful coral and tropical fish to see. As someone who does not consider themselves to be a strong swimmer, I felt very comfortable and relaxed snorkeling in the calm, warm waters of this bay. It made for a wonderful afternoon and would highly recommend to anyone planning to enjoy the beaches of mirissa.

We contacted Mirissa Diving Center as guides to take us snorkeling with the turtles and also scuba diving. Nuvan who is in charge of the diving center arranged for us to do both snorkeling and scuba diving in the beautiful Mirissa waters. Nuwan and his assistants knew precisely where the turtles were and it was an exhilarating experience swimming with these gentle and friendly beings. Nuwan and co seem to have had a lot of experience finding where the best reefs are and their instructions on scuba diving were clear making it seem so easy. We also saw a blue whale with a cub, a fin whale, and many dolphins on our way to the reefs. This was an amazing lifetime experience. I would like to thank Nuwan and the Mirissa Diving Center and recommend them without any reservations.

Guide was on time, took really nice pictures and videos of us while snorkling. One of us can't swim, so we booked a guide and he really made it fun for both and easy to enjoy, even if you can't swim. He also made sure someone took care of our stuff, so we didn't have to worry about that.

What a great experience! From start to finish our guide was so friendly and helpful in making the entire experience a great one. We saw so many turtles which was amazing. We didn't realise that our guide would also take photos for us which was a great added bonus as we didn't have an underwater camera. 100% would recommend to anyone travelling to Mirissa

Snorkeling with turtles in Mirissa was truly a fantastic experience! The water was clear, and the turtles were easy to spot. They swim peacefully, allowing you to observe them up close without disturbing them. It felt really special to be so close to these beautiful creatures.
What made the experience even better was the guide. He was super pleasant, very friendly, and professional. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and gave clear instructions. He also showed us the best spots to see the turtles and shared interesting facts about the sea and the area.
