Watching see turtles wild - An amazing experience Booked through TUI our tour operator from the UK. It was cheaper. Group transfer was long based on collecting from multiple hotels, but the vans were clean and air con The equipment is good quality The guide is spot on The turtles, the rays, all up close. Never experienced anything like this. Sea turtles are beautiful to watch, seeing them surface right next to you Can't recommend this day out enough

So many turtles - Great snorkelling trip. We saw loads of fish and turtles, everything was explained well and we got sent so many photos from Martin afterwards. Would definitely recommend this.

Swimming with turtles - We had an amazing snorkel trip with Martin. We saw green turtles, sting rays, an eagle ready, and more. The snorkel beach is busy but Martin navigated us through it smoothly so that we could focus on the wildlife.

Must Do! With Martin! In Paradise! - Totally worth every penny, Martin was great and took so many amazing photos of us, he was great at explaining what the area is trying to achieve with their sustainable initiatives. The length and pace was suited for all. Definitely a must do!

Amazing experience worth every penny! - Amazing trip seen around 6 Green Turtles! one Southern Sting Ray, one Eagle Ray and different fish, including fish that were cleaning the shell's of the turtles by eating algae from their shells etc. Alondra was an amazing guide, very informative and made you feel safe in the sea even when the waves got bigger the further out you went, during our snorkeling he also pointed out a Canon/ wheel that he said was around 200 years old at least (there was turtle underneath it too). Highly recommend!

5 stars experience - We visited Akumal beach to do the snorkelling and see the turtles. It was a great experience. The cost was 550 peso per person, included the price parking, snorkelling equipment and guide. It is a very good price. The guide takes care of turtles and advise visitors to show full respect to turtles. Also the beach is very beautiful, you can stay and enjoy natural beauty after snorkelling.

Top guide / nice experience - Very good experience, the guide is very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this experience. On the other hand, it is certainly preferable to go there in the first slot early in the morning to have fewer people and so that the water is less cloudy.

Nice trip but touristy! - Very nice guides, but everything is very touristy! You snorkel for about an hour in a marked area where life jackets are mandatory and there are lots of other tourist groups. The guides are very friendly and use hand signals to indicate when they have spotted an animal. And the next day, beautiful photos were sent to us via a link! It's great that the animals are taken very seriously.

Sad experience - The Experience has been cancelled at 8:45h, due to weather conditions, when we were already at the Meeting point and paid 30 Dollars from Tulum to come to Akumal. We were very sad, but they refund the money immediately.
