Fun snorkeling! - No turtles, but great snorkeling. We saw many and a great variety of fish and coral. Easy trip from the cruise port with a nice restaurant after.

Great snorkeling 🤿 - We had an incredible snorkeling experience in Costa Maya with this fantastic crew we booked through TripAdvisor. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations. The team was very responsive and communicated clearly in English, making the booking process and our trip seamless.
When we arrived, they were ready and waiting for us, which immediately set the tone for a well-organized and stress-free outing. The guides were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable, taking time to explain everything to us and ensure we were comfortable and prepared.
The weather was perfect—clear and sunny—which made the water look stunningly clear. We were amazed at the variety of fish we saw during the snorkel; it was like swimming in an aquarium! The guides made sure we felt safe and had an enjoyable time throughout the trip.
To top it off, they went the extra mile by calling and arranging our taxi back to the port, ensuring we returned without any hassle. This crew made our day in Costa Maya absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

66-year-old aunt greatly enjoyed the experience with help from our guide Victor - We were lucky the sea was calm. Saw a lot of different fish and a few stingrays. Our 66-year-old aunt was with us, a first-time snorkeler, was able to greatly enjoy the experience with the help of our guide, Victor. Our 10- and 6-years old kids, good swimmers, greatly enjoyed the experience as well. Thank you very much, Victor.

Amazing, beautiful, exhausting, I’d do it again tomorrow. - Ernesto was great. The fish and coral were amazing. No turtles today. The water was rough, so some of our group quit early.

Great time! - Neto was a great guide and very helpful and friendly. He went out of his way to ensure our safety when the waters were a bit rough and was kind when some of the snorklers had difficulty. It was an easy cab ride from the cruise port, and he hooked us up with a cab when we were done. We got there a bit earlier than we needed to and waited in lounge chairs by a beach restaurant just in front of his place where we ordered a smoothie for $6 that was tasty. If you ordered food there you could probably stay longer. I would recommend his place, great value, just difficult for some in and out of boat. Thanks for a great time!

Turtles! - We saw two sea turtles on our snorkel tour! The group was a bit larger than we realized and at times it was difficult to keep our guide in view under the water with others in the way and still avoid getting kicked by flippers. The reef and view other wise were a bit underwhelming in the area compared to a few other tropical snorkeling adventures and the swimming/search was quite fast paced but we got to see turtles!
