Amazing cenote tours - I had an absolutely amazing time on my tour. I was with Sarah who was so knowledgeable and caring about the cenotes we visited. She was so nice and I had a great time with her.
I also toured with Ludo who was also very charming and kind.
If I come back I would definitely book more tours with them, there are so many options of activities to do and everyone is very helpful. Things were very organized and I appreciate the wonderful experience.

High quality tour and experience with above & beyond service - Above and beyond! This tour group is exceptional. Very clear and regular communication (didn’t happen with other providers on this vacation). The trip itself was awesome. The snorkel session included a portion of the coral reef before getting to the sea turtle area - rays, squid, and lots of turtles. Much more water and discovery than other groups in the area were getting. The Cenote was a true geographic experience, not touristy at all.
This tour was a little more expensive, but from what I could tell the value was so much more than others got. They took pictures and shared with us - a nice touch. Highly recommend! They also took us to a grocery so we could buy essentials we needed. So considerate.
I’d also add, this tour group arranged an emergency airport pick up when my pre-booked transfer no showed. Testament to what real customer service looks like (avoid Cancun Airport Transportation/eTransfers).

Book them! Obviously love what they do! - Amazing! Victor and CJ know what they are doing! Starting with a boat ride so we could start snorkeling away from the crowd, we saw turtle, squid, gorgeous fish, including rainbow and parrot fish, and many turtles. At all times they made sure we were OK and that needs and desires were being met. Then they drove us to a secluded Cenote that felt like it had been reserved privately for my family. Many stalactites and winding passages. This was followed by an amazing lunch in the jungles. Victor and CJ are extremely personable and obviously love what they do! They are top-notch. They even took us to grocery store to get some needed items. We never felt rushed.
We decided to reserve them for a ride back to the airport since they are so dependable! You will not be disappointed 💕

What an experience! - JC was very prompt in picking us up. He informed us of the travel time and what we would expect at each location. He was very helpful with translation needs and carrying our belongings and keeping them safe while we were snorkeling. The female snorkel guide was patient with us and ensured we saw every turtle we could. We appreciated having a boat take us out a little way so it was easier to float over the seagrass and make our way back to shore. The cenote was a magical experience. Bravo to JC's flashlight turning off as he was explaining the human sacrifice ritual in the cavern! 🤣 We appreciated him taking photos of us and the cenote so we didn't have to bother with our phones. Lunch was an authentic light but yummy meal. All in all JC was kind, attentive and informative. Would recommend this tour. Glad we were offered the upgrade to private for the convenience of transportation from our hotel, private snorkel guide, and the sole focus of one person.

Holiday tour December 2024 with the gang! - Wonderful experience with excellent attention at all times by the staff. It’s worth it if you want to do something not so conventional and more personalized.

Amazing Trip!!! - We had the perfect day with Victor and JC, they were the best! So welcoming and warm. Everything about this trip was amazing. They picked us up at our hotel. There was one other family on the trip who were so nice. Took us snorkeling with the turtles in Akamal which was incredible. Then we went on this amazing cenote and took and unforgettable swim through the caves which was unforgettable. They offered us a tasty rice and beans lunch afterwards which really hit the spot! All in all everything was perfect! Thanks again to Victor and JC! Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience with room for improvement - Our guide was friendly and pleasant, but I would have appreciated more information about the local area, its history, and points of interest. Unfortunately, the photos he took during the tour were unusable as they came out blurry and too dark, which was quite disappointing. I was really hoping to have some nice memories captured from the experience.
