We offer water, sodas, beer, fresh seasonal fruit and homemade guacamole to enjoy right on the boat! After your tour, feel free to relax on the beach in a hammock and use our kayaks and paddle boards. Our area of beach is right alongside Hotel 40 Cañones.

Our experiences are provided in Spanish and in English in order to always provide clear, smooth communication.

Strong commitment t high‑quality experience and sustainable tourism.

We were very happy with this tour. If you book it as your cruise excursion, it’s far superior to anything the cruise line offered. There was plenty of time, and the team made sure we finished with more than enough time to get back to the ship. They clearly have a strong commitment to delivering a high‑quality experience and supporting sustainable tourism..

The weather was not the best but we decided to make the best of it. We caught 2 small fish and then lost a massive red snapper. We opted to skip snorkeling since the water was so rough, but the snorkel sites looked great. The crew was amazing, super friendly, and knew just where to go. We will be definitely be coming back.

Fun fishing and snorkeling with the La Leyenda team!

Gabriel, Jose and Alvaro gave us an excellent fishing and snorkeling experience off the shores of Mahahual. After catching the fish we came back to shore and a local chef grilled the fish we caught and made a ceviche. Gabriel took photos of the tropical fish, a sea turtle and stingray and sent us a link. Highly recommended

Ok experience

The tour operators were very kind. I think if they’d known it was 4 kids and 1 adult they would have been better prepared. The booking only let me book 5 adults. We didn’t actually get to fish. My kids got to reel in a few fish. A sea turtle was seen while snorkeling, not much else. My kids are used of adventure and great snorkeling. It was their least favorite of our four tours.

Operator response

We're unsure why you were unable to correctly select the guests for your reservation, but we're glad the team was still able to adapt to a child-centered fishing experience and that you were able to see a sea turtle!

We had a large group so we rented both boats out for fishing and snorkeling. The family was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We had a few people sea sick and they expressed concern and made sure we had whatever we needed to be comfortable. Bree went above and beyond lending my daughter her personal snorkel mask as my daughter can’t see without her glasses. We caught fish and my husband saw a jellyfish while snorkeling. We would do this again a maybe next time I won’t forget to take my meds to keep from being sea sick🙃.

Family fishing/snorkeling

Booked a 4 hour fishing/snorkeling trip after our original excursion was cancelled by the cruise ship. We didn’t catch any fish, but the snorkeling was decent. Friendly staff.

We're glad the snorkeling went well!

Excellent experience

I loved the fishing and snorkeling tour with La Leyenda Eco Tours. The service and attention were exceptional, from the welcome to the end of the tour. The Bree guide, was super friendly and professional, always attentive to everyone and willing to help. If you are looking for an exciting and responsible experience in Mahahual, La Leyenda Eco Tours is the perfect choice. Don't miss it!
