A Wonderful Adventure! - A full hour of swimming with Turtles. Very friendly staff. Clean, cool, and comfortable transportation. Excellent instruction for first-timers. Arrival before the crowds was super.

Great adventure! - I booked this excursion for 8 people. The shuttle arrived on time and Angie and Nester were incredible guides! We drove a short way to Akumal where we geared up and swam in clear beautiful waters. We saw so much wild life! Sting rays, a wide array of fish, and of course...TURTLES!. There were probably 7 turtles that swam close enough for this to be an experience of a life time for my family. The snorkeling was a little tough on our older members (60's) but the kids all did well! The cenote was the most magical experience. The cool waters of a partially covered cave were refreshing and it was super fun to explore! If you sit still enough the fish in the cenotes will give you a free pedicure! They provided a small snack inbetween snorkeling and the cenote. It wasn't fancy but it was delicious! Last but not least, Angie was an amazing tour guide! She was knowledgeable and shared all kinds of interesting facts about the flora, fauna, and wildlife! 10 out of 10 would recommend this tour to anyone and we will definitely be booking again.

Our guide was so personable and friendly and really took time to talk and get to know us. We went right away to the beach and went out in a rinky-dinky boat. The guys were nice who ran the boat and made sure we had our gear in good working order. We dived right in and saw 2 turtles and 4 stingray! It was amazing! Then, we went to two cenotes, both underground. It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend!</p>

Fantastic tour and probably best if... - <p>Fantastic tour and probably best if you book it here rather at the hotel. We had a great guide Miguel who briefed us on swimming with turtles in the car. Then we went to the beach and started swimming, it takes around 40 minutes over a designated area on the beach. It is not guaranteed that you will see the turtles but there is high possibility that you will. After swimming we drove to cenote which was underground, and it was a great experience.Definately would recommend this short but great trip!</p>

I appreciated the knowledge Linda shared with us concerning the history of the Cenotes and why the coral reefs must remain untouched and intact, I was traveling alone and most of the tours would not do a hotel pick up for a single person but Viator does!</p>

Nice fun day - It’s was a nice half day trip Kelly was nice the only thing I didn’t like was as we were being picked up I was informed of a $15 per person tax that I wasn’t aware of not a deal breaker but it made me feel I was being taken advantage of

Great trip with a great guide! - Great tour from a reputable company and friendly guide (Natalia). The turtle experience was amazing - we had 45 minutes in the water and it was not too crowded due to the early start. We saw turtles, stingray and starfish. The Cenetone was also a great experience, it was in a cave so different from the others on offer in the area. However, drinks and snacks not as described. Just water and some low quality mini pizzas. Not the soft drinks and empanadas described in the advert.

Terrible - If I could give a negative rating I would! Will never book with Wisest Travel again. They put us on the wrong bus to the wrong location even after I showed the guide my confirmation (and she took a picture of it!) which clearly said we were going to swim with turtles. We were half way to Holbox before she even spoke the the group about the trip and then had to turn around to bring us back. Spent 3 hours in 3 different buses. What a total waste of our day. Please people verbally confirm with your drivers and tour guides exactly where you are going even if they look at your paperwork.
