Smooth and enjoyable experience. - William contacted us shortly after we booked online. He was ready for us when we arrived to guide us through the process of parking and meeting up with Manuel the snorkel guide. We are a couple of typical 70 year olds. It was surprising how much energy you have to use to get out to where the turtles were. But we made it with Manuel’s assistance. We saw about 1/2 dozen turtles and a couple stingrays and small coral reef in an hours time. We were satisfied with our experience.

Turtles and Dory - This was a wonderful experience. We booked through TripAdvisor for 4 adults one child (6). Once the booking was confirmed our guide was in continuous contact with us providing address (even though our cab driver knew). William met us at the entrance and led us back to where the beach was. He insured we all had bracelets and sized us up for life jackets and snorkels. We had our own private guide foe the swim. The waster was still pretty warm. Our 6 year old held on to the life ring and was able to look through her mask and see the turtles. I think we saw about 6 turtles plus a stingray and apparently Dory and her family according to our 6 year old. The swim itself lasted a little over an hour. This tour was not only a good value but a great family activity.

Akumal: An unforgettable destination, swimming with turtles and the exceptional treatment of David - My stay in Akumal was amazing. From the first moment, the place won us over for its natural beauty and the tranquility it offers. However, what really made this experience unforgettable was David’s kindness. Their attention and disposition were exceptional, always pending that everything was perfect and giving us the best recommendations to enjoy the most swimming with turtles. We saw about 7 turtles and a lot more marine fauna.

David is an excellent guide. - My wife and I swam with the turtles with guide David. It was just the two of us, at the earliest time (0900) in the morning. We saw lots of turtles, a couple of rays and some squid. David was very knowledgeable and easy to follow. We had a great time.

Trained for Emergency Events - The snorkeling was amazing. We witnessed an unfortunate event requiring emergency response and the professionalism of the guides was impressive. They all worked together to get the patient to shore while maintaining the safety of everyone in the water when the emergency boat came out for the rescue. Reassuring to know they are so well practiced to handle such events. Best regards and condolences to the family
