Hello. Are snorkeling gear included in your services? Can we also expect a coral viewing experience? Additionally, will there be food offered on the boat after 8.30 PM? We're bringing along 3 children, with 2 of them being 4 years old. I'm inquiring about these details to explore potential backup plans.
