Great Conservation Experience - I went with Miguel, Jesús, and Marco. They were great hosts and full of fascinating information! Poor Miguel even cleaned up when I had motion sickness. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who cares about conservation!

An unmissable experience! - It was great! We had fun, had an excellent trip to Contoy Island with Snorkeling where we saw Corales. Very good service from Carlos and Eulysses and the boat boys. Thank you so much!

TOUR INCREÍBLE - Unique experience. Contoy Island second to none. Snorkel with Alexis 10. A guide who knows how to take care of a group and enjoy it. Plus a unique reef. Pattern Jesus an excellent person with a wonderful sighting and handling ability. Plus always willing to help. Amazing that on a tour there is a person like Moises who speaks 8 languages. Overall it is a unique experience that I would repeat non-stop. Ramón Serrano Martínez

Contoy Experience - Isla Contoy is the most beautiful place I have ever been, and these are the guys to visit it with. The crew were absolutely fantastic, they were all so friendly, funny, helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. Rolando went above and beyond, and provided a tour of the island.

Just Okay - Music on boat too loud and annoying. Weird beverage served on boat- tasted like warm, fake Tang? No one warned us about age 60 age limit for snorkeling until we were at sea. That’s ridiculous as I am a much better swimmer than many of those I observed snorkeling. Crew was fun. Boat ran well. I experienced it, just a marginal recommend from me as Mujeres is just a souvenir stop. I would not tell my friends to take this trip- too much loud boat ride for too little result.

Disappointing day - The tour looked so promising but our whole group was very disappointed. For some reason, they refused to pick us up from our hotel lobby and asked us to walk 25 minutes at 6 am to make it in time for our shared pickup. We had the same fight when we got dropped off at 8.45 pm. Left a bad taste. All other guests were picked up from their hotel lobby. The staff is nice - they kept the music on and energy up. The other thing that bothered us was that the Snorkeling portion of the trip was only 20 minutes. Thats it. It was a “guided tour” and we made one loop on the reef and came back to the boat. There was no time to explore independently. The reef was amazing and we wanted more time but not possible. Isla Contoy is a beautiful pristine island, but there is no where to go on it because it is a protected island. It’s a beautiful white sand beach without a reef so no snorkeling potential. But the team put together a really nice lunch. The 1 hour stop in isla mujeres feels very rushed. The boat tour started around 10 am and ended at 6pm. In the end we spent more time on the boat, and getting places. It just wasn’t for us.

Not a Snorkeling trip - If you are staying at Bahia Principe - don’t choose this tour - they don’t pick up at the hotel. They pick up every other hotel but apparently not this one. And for what reason I don’t know. If you are expecting to snorkel - well that will be for about 20 minutes - totally rushed and without a moment to enjoy the beautiful reefs. There are too many people on the boat. More time spent traveling. The Isla Mujeres shopping is just a gimmick. This is NOT a snorkeling tour. At best it’s a taxi on the ocean. Saving grade is the beautiful blue ocean. That’s all.

Terrible management - Poor management. agreed a type of transport from the hotel where we laugh to the meeting point, just booked changes cards on the table by charging us separately for transport. In addition, instead of solving the problem, they cancelled the tour less than 12 hours before the start of the event. Luckily we made up for it with an even better tour (it didn't take long to find it). Bad experience! With the money you take, choose the best not the scum
