We loved Angel and our experience snorkeling with the turtles! - Angel was awesome we had an amazing time and saw several turtles, we also saw octopus, coral, fish, and Angel dove down and picked up a shell for us to see. He was very respectful of the environment and friendly. It was a little tricky to find him but my what’s app messenger we’re coming through so he luckily called and found us! We had a very small group which was nice too vs some of the large tour groups out there.

Great experience and Turtles!!!! - This was such a fun and easy tour. Leaves right from the main akumal beach and we saw maybe a dozen young turtles and several kinds of stingrays. Our guide had a keen eye and took good care of us throughout the snorkeling experience.

One of our favourite activities in Mexico - We had an amazing private tour. We saw so many turtles and learned about the conservation efforts at the beach. Anjil was excellent and gave us lots of interesting information about the turtles.

Great experience, many green turtles - We had a guide for us alone. Comfortable 1h snorkeling. We also saw some reef fish and sting rays. We went in the morning and felt good, but in the afternoon many groups of 10 people or more where in the protected area at the same time.

Great for Beginners! - Our guides were so personable and were amazing at making sure we were having a good time. This was our first time snorkeling! We got to see turtles, sting rays, barracudas, eels, and other fish. All of the equipment was provided to us. Our guide kept me close as I was more uncomfortable at first never having done it before. I am grateful! Now, we are planning on going snorkeling again. Book with this company!

Exciting and well organized. - Fantastic experience. Great communication beforehand about when and where to meet. Our guide Santiago took care of everything: showed us where to put our stuff, gave us masks and snorkels (with new and sealed mouthpieces), explained what we would do, and then led us expertly around the bay. My girlfriend isn’t a strong swimmer so he pulled her along with a floatation device. We saw about 10 turtles, one of which swam a few inches from my face when it surfaced to get air, a coupe of rays, and a bunch of fish. The excursion lasted just about an hour. Great fun. Totally worth it to have everything arranged and to go in a small group (we were 3). Highly recommended!

Snorkeling with turtles - It was very fun to see all of the turtles, but it was also tiring and sometimes hard to breathe through the snorkel. We really enjoyed looking at the marine life!

The turtles are here! - We walked right off the beach. Saw several turtles including a baby, as well as Caribbean rays and schools of fish. Also saw the coral reef. While we got to see everything we hoped to, it was crowded and the water wasn’t very clear, likely because it was overcast. Our guide Angel was very good, and he helped us navigate past the other groups. The great feature of this trip is that it’s in and out quick, in about an hour. No boat rides. And you are sure to see the turtles.

Fights instead of tour - It was not nice to pay for a tour to just watch lawsuits and fights from the guides with other people who were not paying for the tour. We were with a child and it was very unpleasant. We pay for a tour to see marine animals, not to see our guide fighting every now and then with other people.
