All arranged on the website. Met at correct place on time. Small group. Guide was excellent and looked after our 5 year old when she bacame a little tired with all the swimming. All life jackets snorkels and masks provided. Saw 7 turtles at akumal and lots of tropical fish at Yakul. Would thoroughly recommend.
Such a great experience- would highly recommend!! We took our two boys ages 11 and 13. It was only the four of us on the tour so it was very personalized to us. The tour operator, David, and our tour guide, Angel, were extremely friendly and communicative right from the start. Both are local to the area and speak English well. David messaged me the night before with a location ping as to where to meet up so we could easily show our taxi driver. Angel knows the waters and lagoon area very well as he is from there so he was able to show the kids secret caves and tell us so much about the turtles, fish, and other wildlife. The first half of the tour you are snorkeling off the beach. We saw several sea turtles very close up, rays, and my son saw a huge spotted ray which is a rarity so he was very excited! Because it’s not one of the huge tour companies we were able to snorkel in a separate section off the beach that was a lot less crowded. The second half of the tour you are snorkeling in the lagoon area. We saw lots of beautiful fish. Angel was very good about making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable the entire time. There are lockers at the park to keep your things. Plan to spend a few hours there- lots of cool little restaurants and shops so you don’t need to bring food/drinks unless you want to. We’d definitely do this tour again!!

Angel es uno de nuestros guías estudiantes del grupo es muy paciente y conocedor ya que está ampliamente capacitado para poder brindarles un buen servicio de guía , En verdad para nosotros es muy importante saber que tuvieron una excelente actividad en akumal Gracias
They had 2 guides for our group of 8, ages 10 to 80. They were knowledgeable, and very attentive to our needs. We didn't realize that the package didn't include transportation between the 2 places. We were happy with them.
Gracias por su apoyo a los guías locales de akumal 🐢🐟🤿 Hacemos que su visita a estos dos hermosos lugares de akumal sean bien atendidos por parte de nuestros guías Gracias por su visita
All was perfect until the moment the guide told us we wanted to charge us 600 Mx for the first session of photos with Turttles and then another 600 Mx for the snorkle. He should have told us in the begining and not at the end with the payment. We ended up solving the topics but not giving any tip but I felt it was not professional. Guide should say very clear in the beginning it was 600 mx for the photo per activity.
