Amazing experience seeing many turtles, stingrays, and fish! - This was the best way to introduce our kids, ages 6 and 9 to snorkeling. Our 6 year old was very nervous and within a few minutes, Ary, our private guide had him laughing and feeling perfectly comfortable, soon he was squealing with joy, seeing the first fish right below him.
We saw numerous types of fish, a crab, many sting rays and squid. Then, we started to see the turtles! I lost count how many, probably somewhere around 10. We saw very large ones, as big as my 6 year old. They were magnificent!
When my daughter’s mask kept leaking, Ary gave her his and he took hers. He was a super kind, fun, knowledgeable and patient guide. In addition to that, he captured a ton of amazing photos and videos of us and all the sea life which he shared at no extra cost to my email the same day.
I highly recommend this activity for all!

Insane experience at a top company - What an amazing experience! We were advised to ignore the tourist traps on the road and continue to the last parking lot and only buy tickets at the ticket office. This was the right decision! We were received mega friendly (no sense of guile or for money), everything was explained mega clearly, we could put our stuff in a safe, took a fresh shower and then we were handed over to Ulysses aka El Party. What a great Guide! I myself had been ill for 2 days and still very short of breath, so snorkeling was intensive and difficult, but Ulysses took me without difficulty to his buoy by his back and signaled when I could admire something beautiful underwater. Really an insanely fun experience! The turtles came so close, but along the way we also spotted all kinds of special fish, seaweeds, a jellyfish and a squid. So much respect for the animals, we enter their domain. Highly recommended!

Excellent guides - a great experience seeing the turtles. - We had a great experience. The beach is beautiful, much more like how you would imagine a Carribean beach than ours in Tulum. Turquoise waters.
The guides were super professional and genuinely cared about making a wonderful experience for us.
They also obviously care about the marine life, making sure that we viewed the turtles in a respectful way.
We had two guides for the 8 of us so felt very safe.
We must have seen about 6 turtles, a couple of stingrays and lots of different fish.

Very nice experiences - We were able to enjoy with Harold, francophone, a very nice outing with turtles and rays as a family. He is very attentive and pedagogical towards children.
Then we made a fishing trip with him, rich in emotions. We were able to bring back a large barracuda that we then enjoyed as a family.
I highly recommend
