We loved this activity. Korina and Landy were great tour guides. Ilse, the photographer, took so many great photos and videos of us that were available for purchase after the activity. You are not allowed to bring your own phone or camera on this activity but honestly you don’t even need it. The tequila tasting with Mau was educational, comical, and memorable. This activity included 3 tacos and they were amazing and hit the spot after spending some time in the water. All staff were extremely friendly. All in all I would definitely re-book this experience next time I come to Cancun.
The snorkeling was a great and fun experience with our guide Karina and safety guide Landy. They were very professional. We had our pictures taken by ILSE who took plenty of amazing pictures that we kept afterwards. Mau did a great tequila presentation during the taste test and everyone was extremely friendly and kind. I highly recommend this excursion for anyone willing to try. 5 stars ⭐️
Outstanding service! Hadn’t scuba for a long time, my refresher instructor gave me the confidence I needed to go back and enjoy the ocean. The scuba diving experience was amazing; Rakel, my guide, was very patient with me and made me feel safe and confident at all times. She is very knowledgeable about the area we were at and made our scuba diving experience an unforgettable one. The service I received since the beginning I approached the agency showed how professional and caring they all are about the ocean as well as their clients. I will definitely go back to take other certifications!
The guides were absolutely outstanding on this tour - from Ricardo our driver, Mauricio (Mau) hosting the amazing and funny tequila class, and also Carlos who looked after us on the boat and helped us see the most incredible sea life! We spotted a turtle, pufferfish, a huge barracuda, a lion fish, an arrow crab and more!! This genuinely was one of the most fun day trips we have ever done - and we have travelled a lot! We came home with a delicious bottle of coffee flavoured tequila - we wish we had space in our luggage to buy more! Thank you guys so so much for an incredible day out. If you’re thinking of booking this tour take this as your sign :) just do it! You’ll not regret it.
We had a fantastic time! We booked through a representative at our hotel and everything was lovely. Our guide, Mauy, and his team were professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Francis led an informative and exceptional tequila tasting, and the tacos afterwards were delicious. This was a wonderful snorkeling experience with a great company!
We enjoyed the tequila tasting, tacos and snorkeling. Maui was an excellent guide for the snorkeling and we enjoyed the tequila tasting with Francis.
Yas was a fantastic point guy for this trip! Charlie provided one of a kind pics…highly recommend buying! Isabel…can’t remember what she did (tequila tasting)🤣…loved all the knowledge she had to share! The entire experience (crew and all) was the best we’ve done the few times we’ve visited Mexico!!!
