Wonderful excursion with a friendly team - This was a great excursion. We were picked up at the hotel on time without any fuss. Once at the port, we were given equipment and had a little test run at the harbour. The team then took us out to visit a cenote, underwater museum, sea turtles and a shipwreck, all as described. The guide Carlos was great showing us around and explaining. My partner is not a very confident swimmer in open waters and Carlos let her hold onto a lifebuoy while he pulled it, which made the experienceso much better for her. We got to see so many turtles! The captain Fernando was very friendly and helpful as well. All in all this is a tour I can highly recommend.

Great snorkeling trip - Great snorkeling trip. Only 6 were on our boat so we got a lot of personal attention, especially one of us who isn’t a strong swimmer. Photos that were taken were great too. Highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing experience! Bring Socks! - We went as a group of four adults. We were picked up just outside our hotel, and it took around 1 hour to drive to get to the marina. The snorkeling took about 2 hours, and another hour to return, so about 4 hours total time.
The water is absolutely gorgeous - so clear! We ended up seeing 2 different turtles, a lot of coral, and a ton of really cool fish. The shipwreck was our group's favorite.
Bring sunscreen, a swimsuit, a change of clothes, towels, and SOCKS! Wearing socks under our flippers would probably have saved us from some blisters.
We would have really liked to bring an underwater camera if we'd had one, but each group has a few photographers who will take pictures for you. The pictures were $80 USD / $1600 MEX for our whole group (but this is optional).
We had a really fantastic time, and would recommend the experience to anyone who enjoys the ocean. Absolutely worth the cost.

DO NOT BOOK WITH VIATOR/Marriott Bonvoy/Shore Excursions!!! - Do NOT book with Viator/Marriott Bonvoy/ Shore Excursions! My family and I made a reservation and were really looking forward to our adventure. We received an email with confirmation (under our 7 year old sons name) with the pickup time. The morning of we sat and waited... and waited... and waited... nobody responded to emails or phone calls. Eventually, we were informed that the trip was canceled!
Will you tell your paying customers about cancellations? We wasted hours of our vacation time and got a refund. Horrendous customer service!
