Had a good time!

We had a great time! We really hoped to see turtles but did not. Make sure everyone in your group are strong swimmers, the water can get very rough.

Friendly crew but terrible visibility and very little marine activity. Not worthwhile.

Very poor conditions with breakers/choppy water and absolutely terrible visibility. Nobody can control the weather, but this experience wasn’t worthwhile at all despite friendly driver and snorkeling guide. Also, first mask they provided had poor seal and was clearly defective. Their response was to tighten it, which didn’t help.

Perfect experience!

My family and I booked the 1.5 hour snorkeling excursion. We were cruising with NCL and the entire process was PERFECT. Easy directions and clear communication. The experience was even better than expected. Our guide was wonderful in guiding us to the best spots. The shopping and dining area was so charming and authentic! Highly recommend!!!!

Small group, big experience

This was a family run tour. Small group size. There were only 5 in our tour, which made it feel more personal. Everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. My bestie got sick from accidentally drinking the seawater and they took great care of her. Additionally, you could tell they took pride in their home. They were very ecologically concerned. They even took sample to give to the local labs. They were very concerned about the effects of sargassum on the reef and local wildlife. The first reef we visited wasn't that great due to the sargassum. However, they went out of their way to find a beautiful, healthy reef for our second location and it was a marvel to see. I highly recommend this tour if visiting Costa Maya. And the guacamole was fire!

Wonderful snorkeling experience

Excellent experience with our grandkids today! We got a last-minute reservation for snorkeling and it could not have been better. Owner David is very responsive and got us right on the next tour. Guides were excellent and the snorkeling was amazing! The boat is smaller so smaller group of people, which is nice. There were even drinks and snacks provided, including some chips and homemade guacamole, which was excellent. No sea turtles today but we did see a huge manta ray, spiny, lobster, and many many other fish. We all had a great time and we would definitely book with them again!

Operator response

Thank you so much for joining us for a 3 hour snorkeling experience. We're glad you and the kids had a great time!

Fantastic Snorkeling Tour from Start to Finish! Highly Recommended

Our snorkeling excursion was absolutely fantastic! We loved the small-group experience and the personal attention given to everyone on board. Our family of four shared the tour with another family of three, and the crew did an amazing job making sure both our teenagers and the younger children (ages 5 and 8) had a great time. Captain and Jesus were incredible! Jesus was our guide in the water, and he made sure we didn't miss a thing. We saw beautiful coral, countless colorful fish, and even an amazing sea turtle—the highlight of our trip! The team also provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions for getting to and from the port, which made everything stress-free from start to finish. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable snorkeling experience. It was one of the highlights of our vacation!

Thanks so much for coming with us! We're glad you enjoyed your 3 hour snorkeling experience. The pleasure was ours!
