Wonderful experience! We swam with a local guide who showed us and explained the reserve's ecosystem! We even managed to see a barracuda and a pufferfish, though we were less fortunate to spot the turtles. The staff was kind and attentive; I highly recommend it for an unforgettable experience!

A magnificent experience! My daughter and I were able to observe and learn about several species in the Cousteau reserve. Accompanied by an expert and caring guide, we had a unique experience that we will always remember. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, and we didn't see any turtles, but we did see the barracuda.
