Akumal turtle snorkeling - Surprisingly good experience, did not have great expectations due to many tourists, but Martin was a super guide, and we saw many sea turtles, we also got late GoPro photos of the trip, so definitely worth the money.

The best tour in Mexico - Martin is an excellent guide. We got to see the turtles and visit the coral reef. Our hotel tried to sell us a very expensive tour, but it really isn’t necessary. This tour was perfectly priced for what it offered. Thank you, Martin!

Interesting and exciting - Very interesting tour. You should start as early as possible. It's best before 9:00. You can observe the turtles in their natural habitat, but you can't touch them at all. The guides are locals with good knowledge. Worth it!

Incredible Experience, but Very Crowded Swimming - Swimming with the turtles was something we had never experienced before, and it was truly amazing to be that close to them. They swim right past you, and it feels like such a unique, once-in-a-lifetime moment. We also saw stingrays and a variety of fish. That said, the area was very crowded. There were a lot of people in the water at the same time, and the tour felt quite rushed. Because of the volume of visitors, it did make us question whether it’s the healthiest environment for the turtles. Even with that, we still enjoyed the experience—it’s hard not to when you’re that close to such incredible animals. And we do appreciate that tourism here likely helps support conservation efforts and preservation of the area. Overall, it’s an unforgettable experience, but just be prepared for the crowds and a quicker-paced tour than you might expect.
