Amazing harmonious experience - We had a guided tour of the turtle grazing area and reef further out. We are a family of 5 (11, 14, 44, 47 and 74 years old). Santiago, our guide, was kind, calm, professional and very environmentally aware, sharing his knowledge and obvious appreciation of nature with us. He gently guided us to rays and turtles, as well as the reef, and kept an eye on whether our youngest or oldest was getting tired. We had an incredible harmonious experience, which was exactly what we were looking for. We saw many turtles, several rays, and beautiful fish including parrot fish and schools of colorful fish. Would warmly recommend Santiago and Akumal Ecological guides!

Excellent snorkeling to see turtles. - Our guide Russell was fantastic. We saw several turtles and fish and a ray. It was a small group and we elk organized.

Jesus was great! This was... - Jesus was great! This was so easy and such a treat to see the turtles in their natural habitat! And we saw pelicans too.

So worth it! Ask for Santiago. - William from Akumal ecological guides was in touch with us the morning of and the people at the check-in had my name on hand. Our guide was Santiago and he was fabulous. He guided us through every step of the way patiently and calmly. He even helped us get some prescription googles for family members who needed them. We saw 1/6 dozen turtles, 2 sting rays, beautiful fish and a baracuda! The coral is dead due to a hurricane our guide told us. Despite this, it was totally incredible!

Amazing! - Saw a lot of turtles, fish and reefs. Also, our tour guide Francisco was amazing! Definitely recommend to give them a try!

Really nice ! - Saw 5 big turtles, 2 stingray and our guide was really fun, thanks Sergio!!!

Epic - Francisco is an excellent guide! My 7yr old daughter and I had the best time! This is a great tour bc it is solo, not with a big group. It is an easy to find booth a 10 minute walk to colectivo bus stop for check in. High recommend!

Very fun! Saw a total of... - Very fun! Saw a total of 8 turtles. Instructor was very patient and gave good instructions for us beginners.

Great tour - Amazing snorkeling! We saw multiple turtles and two huge sting rays. Loves having a private guide who was great!

Mass event - Hundreds of snorkelers in guided groups crowd a demarcated area to catch sight of three grazing sea turtles (great animals). For a lot of money, the group takes a boat 50 meters away from the beach and snorkels back in a fixed window of about 30 minutes. How idiotic - both from the organizer and from us.
