Book this trip! - Best Day of our Holidays! Nicholas and Andrienne were so friendly. We saw turtles, sting ray and an Eagle Ray! We also swam near the coral reef so saw beautiful tropical fish. The cenote was incredible. You actually see three different types. Got picked up around 0700 and dropped off at 1300. Therefore we were the first ones at all of our activities. Perfect way to spend your morning.

We had a great time... - We had a great time snorkeling with the sea turtles and visiting the ceynotes. Our guide Lea was great. The ride was kind of long from Cancun but my kids had a great time.

The tour guide was very... - The tour guide was very informative and well educated on the components of the tour. We only saw a few sea turtles, as there were many tourists in the water at the same time.

Excellent Excursion - We were picked up in Cancun so we knew it would be a long drive. The van was air-conditioned and comfortable. Jose is a great driver. Rudolph is a great guide. He was very informative about the turtles and the Cenotes. We were able to see several turtles. The photographer took excellent photos. The photos were not expensive. My only issue was that we did not receive the turtle video, but it did not distract from the excellent tour. Thanks guys for a great time!

Good excursion on a rainy day. - We decided to do this cause it was going to be a rainy day. The trek there and back was long, with construction and traffic and picking up other passengers it was 2 hours each way. The van was very comfortable though. We came from the hotel zone. It was a really good time though! We saw a bunch of turtles which was so cool. Then the cenotes were really neat as well. Really glad to have seen one. We hung out there for about 1.5 hours. Pack food though , you very little time to buy food there and the snack provided is minimal. Pbj would have been nice to have. All and all I think it was a great choice for a rainy day. The guides were all great as well

Great excursion - Truly amazing experience! Oto was incredibly patient with our scared 6 year old, and overall amazing! He was funny, personable and very knowledgeable about the areas. The only “downside” was the snacks. They gave us an empanada, bottle of water and a cookie. Bring some snacks for yourself and you will be fine. 10/10 experience and we’d do it all over again.

Not worth the money - If you’re staying in Cancun, prepare for a 2-3 hour drive to the destination due to picking everyone up fyi. Seats were uncomfortable but had AC. Tour guide gave us USED snorkeling tubes while other tours I’ve been to usually give you new ones which I found unsanitary and cheap. Didn’t teach us how to use snorkels and felt rushed. The ride to the cenote was very bumpy and long but it was very beautiful cenote. The sea turtle experience was fun and amazing. All complaints to the side, it was a great experience I enjoyed it but not sure if it was worth the time and money. If I were to do this again, I would only do it if I was staying in the area.
