TL;DR
Pier snorkeling is free and already impressive — lots of fish and good visibility. For a richer experience (coral, turtles, dolphins), book an organized boat trip like 'Grand Voyage'.
On the 'Grand Voyage' boat trip, travelers got lucky and saw dolphins — a rare bonus even for repeat visitors.
Snorkeling guides on the 'Grand Voyage' trip showed far more marine life than an unofficial diving tour the previous year — worth paying extra for an organized excursion.
The 'Grand Voyage' trip was well organized — plenty of space on the boat and everything ran on schedule.
Snorkeling right from the town pier was impressive on its own — lots of fish and great visibility, no boat trip needed.
