Misool 2025 Snorkeling Adventure - October 2025
Action was everywhere at Misool! Right off the house reef, a swirling school of scads drew in sharks and jacks on the hunt throughout our stay. Out in the blue, mobulas feasted on anchovies while mantas glided gracefully over lush, thriving coral gardens. Every snorkel offered new excitement and incredible marine life encounters (including walking sharks and sargassum frogfish) in one of Raja Ampat’s most vibrant sanctuaries. Next departure to this destination: 17-31 May 2027 (limited availability).
"You leave thankful for the incredible memories"
"We have done 3 different trips with Planet Snorkeling. They do a fantastic job putting together amazing snorkeling trips so you can relax and enjoy the beautiful underwater world, great food, gorgeous views and the wonderful mix of interesting people from various parts of the planet who come on these small group tours. You leave thankful for the incredible memories, along with some new friends. Misool was 5 star plus in everything from diversity of reefs and fish, food, rooms and service. All the staff go above and beyond, knowing your name by day two, how you like your coffee, etc. Misool should be on every snorkeler's dream list."
"A fantastic lifetime experience which will be hard to better anywhere"
"Guillaume and his team delivered a fantastic lifetime experience which will be hard to better anywhere. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended."
"Planet Snorkeling is my favorite place to orbit in the Snorkeling World"
"Planet Snorkeling is my favorite place to orbit in the Snorkeling World :). Guillaume's quiet passion always delivers a great tour."
Alor 2025 Snorkeling Adventure - October 2025
We spent nine unforgettable days at Alami Alor, with the entire boutique resort chartered exclusively for our group. Each day brought something new — from calm bays perfect for muck snorkeling, where we found an incredible variety of small critters, to drift snorkels over pristine coral reefs alive with color and movement. The highlight came in the Pantar Strait, where we enjoyed several thrilling encounters with mola mola cruising in the blue. Combined with clear waters, warm hospitality, and a relaxed atmosphere, it was a truly memorable experience. Next departure to this destination: 2-10 October 2026 (sold out/waiting list) and 27 August-4 September 2027 (available).
"A fantastic overview of the huge diversity in the area"
"The snorkeling at Alami Alor was very much like entering some unknown world with completely different landscapes, fish and critters than what we were used to. From the wonderfully quiet and serene volcanic reef to the gently swaying soft corals and anemones, each trip out was unique and provided a fantastic overview of the huge diversity in the area. The guides were genuinely exceptional at finding everything from the smallest of the smalls to biggest of the big (we never even considered that seeing a blue whale was even a possibility!) and did their utmost to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed each and every outing. It was our third wonderfully memorable trip organized by Planet Snorkeling."
"So much to see, once is not enough we hope to be back"
"Our first trip with Planet Snorkeling so a step into the unknown but it turned out to be one of our best overseas trips. Guillaume was great low key leader, everything seemed to work like clockwork. Alex and Uri and all the Alami Alor staff were fantastic, very approachable and accommodating. Mona the Dive Master was great fun and her staff very knowledgeable. So much to see, once is not enough we hope to be back."
"Many fishes and creatures I had never seen before"
"Guillaume is a fantastic tour leader. He is very personable and takes care of all participants. The program allowed me to see many fishes and creatures I had never seen before, thanks to several experienced snorkeling guides being present during each of our organized sessions and a rich house reef available for non-guided sessions."
"Planet Snorkeling fills my snorkeling passion to the brim"
"Planet Snorkeling fills my snorkeling passion to the brim. Nothing beats being with a diverse bunch of fellow enthusiasts guided by passionate organizers! "
Egypt 2025 Snorkeling Liveaboard (2nd departure) - September 2025
Colorful reefs, turtles, dugongs, multicolored fish and several long sessions swimming with spinner dolphins punctuated these 10 days exploring the reefs of the southern Egyptian Red Sea aboard the Sea Serpent Excellence. With 3 to 4 hours spent in the water each day, some rarer species, such as the Filamented scorpionfish and the Pyjama nudibranch, were also observed by our participants. Next departures to this destination: 1-10 September 2026 (sold out/waiting list), 22 September-1 October 2026 (limited availability), and 31 August-9 September 2027 (available).

"An unforgettable experience that we highly recommend!"
"The third week of September, we spent an amazing week exploring the Red Sea! The schedule was perfectly paced, with four one-hour snorkeling sessions per day, in superb sites. The crew was really dedicated, always smiling and caring. The snorkeling guides were professional, attentive, and very friendly, which made each trip even more enjoyable. The food was varied and very good, and the boat, in addition to being comfortable, was truly accessible to all. An unforgettable experience that we highly recommend! Snorkeling forever!"
"A wonderful discovery"
"These reefs in the Red Sea were a wonderful discovery, with lots of different types of fish, beautiful corals, and an unusual encounter with a dugong, two pods of dolphins, and green turtles. The Planet Snorkeling team provided excellent welcome and guidance."
Egypt 2025 Snorkeling Liveaboard (1st departure) - September 2025
As with each of our trips to Egypt, these 10 days in the Red Sea guided by Philippe and Guillaume were the occasion for exceptional underwater encounters at each visited location.

Belize 2025 Snorkeling Adventure - May 2025
Our first trip of 2025 took us to Belize, where we spent one week at the Turneffe Island Resort. We spent most of our time exploring the shallow reefs surrounding the resort, where we spotted nurse sharks, barracudas, tarpons, as well as a wide diversity of colorful reef fish. Some of our participants even saw a manatee! We ventured into the Blue Hole for an exceptional snorkeling experience, and explored the mangroves as well, in a search for sea horses and other critters! Next departure to this destination: Belize Snorkeling Liveaboard onboard the Aggressor III, 19-27 March 2027 (limited availability).
"100% recommend Planet Snorkeling"
"I am a 73 year old solo traveler who had always been afraid of a "Group" travel experience. How wrong! This was a wonderful experience. Extremely well organized and executed by Guillaume. Very diverse and interesting group, I made rewarding friendships. The resort and staff couldn't have been nicer. Most important - Live Coral & Sponges like I had never seen before. 100% recommend Planet Snorkeling."
"Our third trip with Guillaume and it was as wonderful as our previous ones"
"Our third trip with Guillaume and it was as wonderful as our previous ones. Guillaume is well organized in every aspects of each trip. He is enthusiastic in snorkeling himself and at the same time very conscientious with all the snorkelers. We enjoyed our trip to Belize and are looking forward to our trip to Misool!"
"Intensive snorkeling with like-minded people!"
"Really loved the trip to Belize - intensive snorkeling with like-minded people! Lots of varied snorkeling excursions including an amazing night snorkel and a longer boat trip to The Blue Hole - some of the best snorkeling in that area. Guillaume was dedicated and well organized as a leader of the trip."
Komodo 2024 Snorkeling Adventure - November 2024
The Komodo Islands showcase one of the liveliest underwater ecosystems in the world. The archipelago comprises some of the top sites for snorkeling with manta rays, which we observed in large numbers at shallow depths. Sea turtles, sharks, crocodilefish, anemonefish, and nudis are also among the fascinating marine life we encountered during the trip. Next departure to this destination: 29 October-7 November 2026 (sold out/waiting list).
"A highly professional organization that knows how to organize a great snorkeling group trip"
"Planet Snorkeling is a highly professional organization that knows how to organize a great snorkeling group trip. Guillaume is a wonderful host, highly attentive to everyone and super knowledgeable when it comes to fish identification! He’s a passionate leader. This was my second experience traveling with Planet Snorkeling and I look forward to many more in the near future."
"What a fantastic experience we had!"
"What a fantastic experience we had! Our guide, Guillaume, was exceptional—fluent in two languages, caring, and extremely knowledgeable about marine life identification. The beauty of the underwater world in this region was breathtaking. We were fortunate to see Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, encounter plenty of wildlife on the islands, and even swim with manta rays. I highly recommend this company for your future snorkeling adventures. The small and intimate group sizes allowed us to make new friends along the way. The accommodations were excellent, and the food was delicious. Overall, we had an incredible time!"
"Excellent to spend time with a great bunch of like minded snorkel enthusiasts!"
"Excellent to spend time with a great bunch of like minded snorkel enthusiasts! Felt well cared for and in safe hands of that cool French youngster, Guillaume!:))"
"Planet Snorkeling's leader was exceptional"
"What makes travel with Planet Snorkeling special? Given that the resorts, boats, organizations, and locations used by snorkeling companies are virtually the same, it's Planet Snorkeling's leader. Several other trip leaders from other companies are good, yet Planet Snorkeling's leader was exceptional. I acknowledge that is a very subjective response; it's based on multiple snorkeling trips with multiple leaders."
Wakatobi 2024 Snorkeling Adventure - October 2024
The coral reefs surrounding the Wakatobi Resort are among the healthiest in the world. In addition to the thriving house reef, we snorkeled 12 different world-class sites around Tomia Island, enjoying unique reef sceneries and abundant marine life. For this trip, the tour leader Guillaume was accompanied by Miguel, a multi-award-winning underwater photographer. Next departure to this destination: 18-26 Oct 2026 (sold out/waiting list).

"The absolute best trip of our lives"
"We had the absolute best trip of our lives with Planet Snorkeling to Wakatobi Resort. We were a group of 4 couples from Colorado that love travel and adventure - we renamed the trip Snorkel Camp, as we were having so much FUN! When researching Wakatobi, I came up with the trip with Planet Snorkeling - I was amazed at how quickly Guillaume responded to my inquiry and answered all my questions over the months leading up to the tour. He and Miguel were fantastic tour leaders, making all the travel and transitions to Indonesia seamless. The underwater photos taken by Miguel are a beautiful gift and reminded of a wonderful snorkeling trip. We look forward to traveling with Planet Snorkeling again."
"Planet Snorkeling surpassed all expectations and - will be back"
"Planet Snorkeling was invaluable, from the earliest emailed questions (Guillaume was always quick to respond), to meeting us upon arrival, helping with luggage, check in, accompanying us with comprehensive information and support throughout the trip logistics as well as our snorkeling excursions. Miguel was delightful and a highly skilled photographer; it was fun snorkeling together to see the things he found camera-worthy. Planet Snorkeling surpassed all expectations and - will be back!"
"We have visited a number of well known snorkel locations around the world but none can compare to the extraordinary coral gardens and walls of Wakatobi"
"We had high expectations for this trip and they were exceeded. Both Guillaume and the Wakatobi staff were simply outstanding in every way. We have visited a number of well known snorkel locations around the world but none can compare to the extraordinary coral gardens and walls of Wakatobi and their population of virtually every fish species native to that area of the world. We can’t thank Planet Snorkeling and the Wakatobi Resort enough for making this trip an unforgettable experience."

"The most relaxing and recharging holiday I've ever spent"
"Every moment on (and off) board the Egypt cruise was thoroughly enjoyed. Snorkeling offers a very natural, direct encounter with the underwater world, and it feels quite magical, especially when swimming with dolphins or a sea turtle. Coupled with being gently rocked on a comfy boat for six days, away from civilization, surrounded by like-minded people, and stargazing at night, it was the most relaxing and recharging holiday I've ever spent."
"The Egypt Liveaboard delivered incredibly consistent and simply fabulous snorkeling opportunities"
"The Egypt Liveaboard delivered incredibly consistent and simply fabulous snorkeling opportunities around vibrant healthy reefs hosting huge numbers and varieties of fish as well as the chance to swim with sea turtles and dolphins. As if all that wasn't enough... the boat, her crew, and our guides were also very consistent: consistently excellent! It was our first liveaboard but on the basis of this very special experience, it definitely will not be our last!"
"A great team always available, and a friendly group of enthusiasts!"
"This trip to some of the best reefs in southern Egypt, if not the best, fulfilled my expectations: an exceptional house reef, vibrant and diverse offshore snorkeling locations, a great team always available, and a friendly group of enthusiasts! If there is a trip to choose to discover Egyptian reefs and their marine life, it's definitely this one!"

"I couldn't believe such beauty existed in the world"
"I trusted my friend's recommendation and went on the Galápagos trip without studying any details in advance. During the trip, I felt like I was in a dream. Every hike was unbelievably surreal – I couldn't believe such beauty existed in the world. As a first-time snorkeler, I felt like I hit the jackpot – encountering so much wildlife in just one week was incredible. I loved the intense activities and was happy to be challenged. Feedback? We already plan our next snorkeling trip in 2025!"
"Highly recommend this trip"
"The Galápagos Islands trip was fantastic, an amazing experience with wildlife.. Highly recommend this trip on the small boat, Samba."
"Being able to share the adventure with other enthusiasts made the trip very special"
"The opportunity to spend several relaxed hours every day experiencing the wildlife first hand in the water was wonderful. Being able to share the adventure with other enthusiasts made the trip very special."
