An Experience that is Worth the Premium - We’ve gone snorkeling in multiple times in Hawaii, Cancun and Cabo, but nothing beats this private experience. Angel was our guide for the day and from the moment he picked us up at the hotel, he was nothing short of incredible. On the ride to the dock, he was talking with us and giving us recommendations, as well as small facts about things we were passing. He even mentioned that if we were thirsty, he can pull some sodas or beers from the cooler in the back of the car. We could tell was doing his best to make sure we had a great time. When we arrived at the dock, he met the captain and our snorkel guide. They were very friendly locals and while out on the ocean, we left our belongings on the boat. Nothing was missing and none of our bags were rummaged through. Angel explained to us a few things and we were set to snorkel! With a private experience, you are not waiting for any other groups, you move at your own pace and you stop when you’re interested in something! We saw barracudas, puffer fish, schools of pompano fish and much more! Our snorkel guide also picked up a few conch and showed us the creature inside. I wish we got to see a sea turtle, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be that day. Angel went above and beyond during the snorkeling portion by bringing his own GoPro and shooting videos for us so we didn’t have to bring our cameras. He wanted us to be able to fully enjoy the moment! After our snorkeling, Angel took us into town and let us roam around, take photos and also recommended a great local restaurant. We ate there with him and exchanged stories about our lives. Our day ended with him bringing us back home. I wish we did this trip earlier. We met Angel on our last day in Cancun. But we will definitely come and tour with him again next time. Thank you Angel!

Great private snorkeling experience. - One of our favorite snorkeling trips. They picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boat where we were met by the captain and first mate. Very friendly guys. They took us to a an area where there was lots to see and it was pleasantly shallow so we were much closer to the coral and fish than most snorkeling expeditions.

Alex Serra and Gabby are the BEST! - Alex Serra and Gabby were amazing! It was more like going out with friends. I saw everything I wanted to, coral, tropical fish, barracudas, stingrays, and turtles. I would recommend a private tour as everything is customizable. I want to stress that México and Kay Tours are very safe for a female traveling alone! I also left my bag on the ground with everything in it and Alex had to drive all the way back. Someone found my bag and saved it for us! Thank you Alex and Gabby!

Recommended for snorkeling - We were picked up on time in a spacious, clean car. Our guide Hectot was very friendly and did his best to make us feel comfortable. The place for snorkeling was very beautiful. We were just unlucky that it was very cloudy, which meant that the light/colors were slightly less under water. Saw a lot of different fish. I have been to Mexico several times and this was really one of the nicer snorkeling locations. After snorkeling we had some drinks (we were able to specify in advance which ones we wanted... great). Experience was great and the guide Hectot was also great

Great snorkelling trip with a fantastic guide - We had a fantastic snorkelling trip to Puerto Morelos and everything went so smoothly. Our pick up was on time and we were greeted with a friendly smile by our wonderful guide Hector in a very comfortable vehicle with AC! Hector looked after us beautifully for our whole excursion and came diving with us along with our snorkelling guide. The reef was a great place to go snorkelling as you can swim so close to it and we saw so many marine species including some Barracudas, a sting Ray and to our amazement a nurse shark! Afterwards Hector took us for some very authentic Mexican food which was delicious and he then dropped us right back to our hotel. Hector is not only friendly and funny, he is also so knowledgeable and passionate about Mexican history so we learned a lot and laughed a lot too. A great day out.
