What our clients say
Snorkeling with Sandaru off the Hikkaduwa coast was a wonderful experience for us! He is very friendly and has a lot of experience in the ocean. He made us feel very safe. The places he took us to were beautiful, full of vibrant coral and marine life. He really showed his passion for the ocean. We could tell that he really loves the ocean. He kindly asked us not to damage the coral reefs in any way and we all supported Sandaru by following the safety rules as much as possible. He ensured the safety of all of us until the end of our snorkeling trip. Highly recommend him for a fun and unforgettable snorkeling adventure!
This was a really good experience. We were first timers so he really helped us out and gave us a nice experience. There were a lot of fish near the shore. He led us through the corals and showed the fish. Then we capped off the snorkelling session by witnessing some amazing turtles. Mr. Sandaru’s service was professional. He provided us with all the safety equipment and snorkelling gear which was in mint condition. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a breathtaking snorkelling experience.
We had our first snorkeling experience with Sandaru as our guide. He was very professional, keeping us updated about the weather in advance and setting the right expectations.
