You can sign up for the snorkeling activity yourself. I did this together with three other people. However, one girl eventually failed to show up, which meant that the rest of us had to cover her costs. I don’t think this is fair, as everyone had confirmed their participation beforehand. In this situation, I believe the costs should have been charged to the person who didn’t show up, rather than making the rest of us pay for it.

THIS HOSTEL IS NOT SECURE. I met really nice travellers and volunteers here. Their money is stolen from their personal lockers and the hostel didn’t do anything. They didn’t take anything seriously. So, watch out before booking. there are also too few showers/toilets. Vibe depends on the people. Location is close to turtles but far from everything else.
