Great, private experience with amazing guide - We have enjoyed snorkelling with Ricardo a lot. Everything was extremely professional and with care for nature. Ricardo explained us the rules on how not to scare the turtles when we are swimming. It was a great private experience much better than doing it in the big groups from other tours we saw entering the water. We saw a lot of turtles and even an eagle stingray! Ricardo knows a lot about nature and shares it during the tour. It is also great that Ricardo takes GoPro photos which he shares still the same day for you to enjoy the memories of great moments!

Tour was very organized and our tour guide Mariana was very patient and knowledgeable. - Tour was very organized and our tour guide Mariana was very patient and knowledgeable. She told us the history of the items beneath the water while pulling three of us to keep us safe and enjoy the snorkeling. She made sure we saw all the bigturtles, baby turtle, and even saw a sting ray. There were many beautiful fishes and even saw a live squid. Fabian sent us our GoPro pictures and videos within 24hrs after snorkeling. I will book again from the Turtle Travel.

Memory of a Lifetime! - Ricardo was so accommodating and helpful! Even though we visited at the end of the turtle season, we saw MANY turtles. The water was a crystal blue/green that was just incredible (pic attached). We will never forget this experience!

Absolutely recommended! - Absolutely recommended. For 660 pesos you get access to the beach (where you can stay for free all day after the tour), you can swim with turtles and other fish for an hour and you will also receive a whole package of photos. The guides speak very good English and can tell you all about the beach and the turtles. They spot the turtles for you and give you good snorkeling equipment. Tip from Tulum: grab a Collectivo. Cost only 40 pesos and then you walk right to the pecking point. You can bring your own food and drinks to the beach and there are free shade areas, so after the tour you can stay on the beach all day.

The highlight of our trip!! - Our group had so much fun! The highlight of our trip. There were so many turtles and other sea creatures that we were able to see. Fabian was such a great tour guide! He explained everything in detail and led us to the best areas to see turtles. After this tour, we were able to stay on the beautiful beach and have brunch with breathtaking views. The best part are the photos and videos we get at the end without paying an extra fee.

Unique turtle snorkelling trip - Amazing turtle tour with Ricardo. We got to see sooooo many turtles! He was so good at explaining how to best see them, behave around them to not scare them off and also took lots of photos / videos on his go pro. Such an incredible experience that I definitely recommend. It was nice that we were only a group of 4 that he took out vs some other tour operators that had 15+ people to manage!

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!

Amazing experience! - Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide explained everything to us & was so good at finding the turtles for us and taking amazing photos & videos. It was a little bit busy when we went but our guide kept taking us to the quieter areas so that we could really spend time with the turtles. It was obvious how passionate he was about the turtles & made sure we were respecting them and not scaring them. The photos & videos were amazing & got sent the same day! Our only criticism is that we arrived at the correct time however the other couple who were also doing the tour arrived over an hour late which meant we were not able to start the tour until a later time. This impacted our day as we had other things planned which we then could not do. However, we thouroughly enjoyed our tour and would do it again!
