Good First Snorkel

This quick snorkel trip is great for those with young children or anyone that has never snorkeled before and wants to try it. We had a couple of young children and my special needs nephew. The crew handled it very professionally. Everyone had fun and it was a great first experience. And yes, we saw a turtle 🐢!

Bad experience

The tour company charged us twice even though we only made one reservation. We asked them to correct but they would not.

Very good, almost like we booked a private tour.

Very good experience. Only me and my wife were booked so it was like a private excursion. Guide was very good. He drug my wife all around the reefs. After we got back, the souvenir stands were high pressure. We felt safe until then. So we left. I would go back, but take more people with me.

Great Excursion

This excursion was so fun! We loved every minute. It was a perfect length of time and we saw a turtle in addition to seeing all the amazing fish. The staff was so friendly and even waited for us as it took us longer to get out of the cruise port. The pineapple at the end tasted so good. So happy to get away from all the cluster of the port and get out to this location - which had a beautiful beach, great shops and food - that was a bonus after we finished this excursion/snorkeling.

We had an absolutely incredible time on the Mahahual Snorkeling Adventure: Turtle Encounter! Axel, Nigel & the Captain of the boat were outstanding guides from start to finish. They were professional, friendly, patient, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable in the water. They took us to the perfect spots where we were lucky enough to see sea turtles up close, along with beautiful tropical fish and the amazing reef. Their knowledge of the area and enthusiasm made the entire experience even more enjoyable. What really stood out was how much they cared about making sure everyone had a great time. They were attentive, answered all our questions, and made the trip fun for everyone, regardless of snorkeling experience. If you’re visiting Mahahual or Costa Maya, I highly recommend booking this tour and asking for Axel and Nigel. They truly made our day unforgettable. Thank you both for an amazing adventure we’ll definitely be back! 🌊🐢👏

Great experience, even for my 10 year old!

Went here with my ten year old son. He has been in the pool since he was a kid but has limited ocean experience. The waves at the dock were a bit high but so I was worried he may struggle. The spot we ended up going to was naturally protected by a reef and was fairly calm. The guides were very attentive to everyone but especially the kids. I was very comfortable with them watching my son. The snorkeling was pretty good. Cool fish, nice reef, limited seaweed. The area is a 3 minute walk from the lighthouse. Taxi driver was 5.00 a person. Overall 10/10 for an easy snorkeling trip! Highly recommend.

Very good service

I had to cancel the tour due to bad weather, but I found the service great, as they took the trouble to contact me hours before to inform me of the inconveniences that could be (poor visibility) and gave me the option to choose whether to continue, or cancel with full refund, even though I support it would not allow me because of the rush of the request
