Good value for money - Experience that I highly recommend. The staff is nice and friendly, and they kindly dropped us off to the ferry to Playa del Carmen. As for snorkeling, we saw beautiful fish, starfish, shark and rays coming to your feet, all accompanied by a good ceviche and fruit. The experience on the boat to go to different places is also nice because there is music.

Great time lots of marine life - Wonderful trip! Alan and Gustavo were great guides. Got to see lots of marine life on the reefs including a nurse sharks eels and lobsters. Many starfish in the sand at el cielo, and when we stopped for drinks we had dozens of stingrays swimming around us in waist high water! Well worth the time for this trip!

Great Time Snorkeling and Staff! - We had a fantastic time snorkeling! The staff was exceptional! I initially forgot to do a currency conversion and needed to visit the restroom on site. However, the facility charged 5 pesos. With no money, I was in a bit of a predicament, but later, a male staff member kindly offered the necessary pesos – much thanks to him. Our snorkeling experience was a blast with beautiful water, a vibrant reef, mesmerizing fish, lobsters, and even stingrays; it was all awesome! Their snorkeling equipment was good quality and thoroughly sanitized, with new mouthpieces provided. Alfonso, in particular, was very friendly and attentive, offering us food and drinks. Their ceviche was the best I’ve ever had! I even had to remind my 16-year-old twins to stop and leave some for others. Afterwards, the staff called us a taxi and helped translate our instructions to the driver, ensuring we reached our destination. What a relief! I highly recommend their services and would definitely book with them again in the future.

Loved it!!!! - Had the best snorkeling experience ever. Lalo and Alex were great guides. My wife and I loved that it was a small group on our boat, we’ve been in the 40+ snorkeling groups and it just isn’t the same. We visited on a cruise ship so we got our own taxi which cost us $10 there $10 back and the $1 charge before getting to the meeting spot. We got to see fishes, coral and the sting rays! It was truly an unforgettable experience. Let’s not forget about the ceviche. I know that it was just a “snack” but that was hands down one of the simplest and most delicious ceviches we’ve ever had. Muchas gracias por la experiencia.

Small group, lovely, experienced, friendly crew. Fun trip that was definitely value for money. - Great local, family-run business with knowledgable & friendly boat crew. Great comms & info from the admin team. Value for money & they were upfront about what we may/may not see. Alan & Wilbur are stars - in 2 languages for those non- Spanish speakers. Fun boat ride, lots to see, different stops to see different marine life. Loved floating lunch with resident stingrays passing by.
