A 45th and 65th Anniversary - This excursion was the perfect amount of nature and tour.
My tour guide Jose (Pepe’ )and the person who got us there safely were so kind and courteous and Pepe’ was more than knowledgeable, he was passionate about what we were doing.
We took a small tour to the beach, snorkeled and saw plenty of wild life then we swam in the beautiful cenote ate a family style lunch and truly had a good time.

Fabulous Experience :) Mimi is very knowledgeable about any and everything you will see. - Snorkeling was amazing; the pictures were fabulous, and Mimi was extremely helpful. Due to my own clumsiness, I got injured halfway through in the showers and was unable to experience the cenote, and watched iguanas on a hammock during that portion of the trip, but Mimi and the others were very supportive and helped me to experience what I could safely do. 10/10 Would Recommend. The lunch afterward was delicious. Do not bring a lot with you; most of it needs to stay in the van, and pictures from the expert are waaaay better than what you can get yourself and reasonably priced too. Honestly the list of what they suggest is sufficient.

We saw turtles, rats, and bats! - Nick (Nicholas) was an amazing guide who shepherded us professionally through the snorkeling and cenote. We saw many turtles (like 4), manta rays, and lots of beautiful fish while snorkeling. At the cenote Nick gave an insightful and fact filled tour that was fun to geek out to. Plus we saw bats!

Thanks for an amazing experience - This tour was fantastic - our guide Mimi was a PRO, and made sure we had the best possible experience in both the reef and cenote tours. Groups are small although the reef population can get dense. The settings were beautiful and they had a whole setup in the jungle with great gift options. GoPro and credit card friendly, but don’t forget to bring some USD/pesos for tipping!

Unmissable - Excellent tour! We scheduled it from one day to the next and on the day of the excursion we were contacted with the pickup time (within the platform schedule). Mimi is a great guide, she told us about the story and showed us pictures to accompany the story. That meant when we got to the places we had all the information. Also very friendly and willing to answer our questions.
They gave us water and some tailpipes. The amazing places!! Definitely an experience I recommend in Playa del Carmen. Pick-up is also at the hotel.
We were joined by a photographer who made it easy to concentrate on the places

Excellent cenote & sea turtle adventure! - A really great trip and Darielle was fantastic. We saw lots of turtles and a very private cenote experience (wasn’t busy even on a holiday weekend). They weren’t clear in the booking but lunch and snacks were included—ate at a local empanada stand—delicious. The only drawback was the length of the drive. Bad traffic on the way home and we were nearly the first pickup/last drop off as we were at the north side of the airport (and the trip was way south) so transport was 2+ hours each way (less for otheres staying further south), but still 100% worth it! Our daughters were 11/9 and they both really enjoyed it as well.
