Transparency & Ecotourism Funding
SwimmingWithTurtles.com is committed to 100% transparency with our readers. To maintain our independent marine sanctuary database, fund on-site field research, and keep our 44 global destination guides freely accessible, we participate in vetted travel affiliate programs.
How Our Affiliate Links Work
When you click on certain links to book guided snorkel tours, private boat charters, or purchase eco-certified gear on platforms such as Viator (TripAdvisor Group) or GetYourGuide, we may earn a modest commission at no additional cost to you.
- Viator Tracking: Outbound tour links carry tracking campaign parameters (
campaign=swimmingwithturtlescom). - GetYourGuide Tracking: Partner links utilize certified publisher parameters (
partner_id=FY0PT2P&utm_medium=online_publisher&cmp=swimmingwithturtles).
Editorial Independence Guarantee
Our research team recommends excursions solely based on operator safety ratings, marine park licensing, small-group ratios, free cancellation flexibility, and strict adherence to wildlife protection standards. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial ratings or sanctuary audits.
