For the Love of Turtles - I did this tour with my fiancé and friends and we all had a blast!! Sea turtles are my favorite aquatic animal and this tour did not disappoint because we saw so many during our time. They got so close and were breathtaking. We absolutely would do it again. Our guide Fabian was awesome!! He was super friendly and got great pictures of the whole group. He also made us very comfortable going out in the area where the turtles were. Ask for him when you arrive!

BEST turtle swimming tour! - 10/10 recommend this tour instead of others. Ricardo our tour guide was so friendly and accommodating, even though we arrived 10min late. He was the exact vibe we expected and wanted in all of our México tours - easygoing, accommodating, and seems to just love what he does. This tour really made our vacation perfect! GoPro pics and footage were complimentary. Tour was much less expensive compared to others, not sure why others are so expensive. Check them out!

Super tour and super tour gide!!!! - We have a super nice experience richer in our pocket through this wonderful tour. Our tour gide, Fabian, always swam for us to look for the turtles, when he found one he made a hand movement 🤙🏽. He knew a lot about the turtles and other marine animals. You can see he does this with pleasure and love. Together with his cousin he has this small business, so very small scale. You have a private tour so you get all the attention and you can snorkel around at ease. Highly recommended if you want to snorkel here with turtles!!!

Amazing experience - It was a wonderful experience. Our guide Ricardo accompanied us during the expedition and explained everything about turtles and other species that we could see. The photos and videos are great and allow to have a precious memory.

Great personalised and kind tour guide to visit the Akumal turtle park! - Fabien was an excellent guide and we were fortunate enough to have him to ourselves for the tour. He was kind and patient and we managed to see 5 turtles and a stingray. Though be prepared for crowds… luckily with this company we were in a zone that had less people, but the whole park is crowded. Grateful to have seen the sea turtles but I do wish they would limit the numbers more, but supposedly the government is trying to put more measures to protect them. Nonetheless, if in the area and want to see sea turtles then this is the place to go and do not hesitate this company and Fabien! I am waiting to receive my photos, but they are included in the price which was also a plus. Was a great experience. Thanks Fabien!

Swimming with sea turtles was so much fun. - We had a wonderful time swimming with sea turtles. Our guide was excellent. I love that pictures were included. It was just our small family on the tour, so that was nice. :)

Excellent service - Great service all round. The weather was unstable when we were there, but instead of cancelling or doing the activity on a greyer day, we kept in touch via messenger and managed to enjoy it on one of the best days for sun and clear skies. We were actually literally unable to snorkel for various reasons between us, but as it was a private tour for just my husband and I this wasn't an issue, the guide helped us try and, when we realised it was just impossible (completely our faults) we agreed to find one turtle, swim for a while and head back before one of us drowned altogether :')
The only downside for me was getting changed after, very humid changing rooms and not allowed to use toiletries in the shared showers (understandably for environmental reasons) meant we left feeling quite sticky. But if you can keep your eyes open under your mask and have the ability to breathe through your nose then is definitely recommend this
