Don't 2nd guess yourself go... - Amazing time, friendly staff. We were able to open the boat up and drive. 1st time boat driver was a bit to adjust but you do quickly. Was worried about how I was going to get back into the boat since I am a heavier person 250lbs I wish could be a easier way to get back into the boat. All in all was great experience. I am glad I did it and didn't stay in the boat. FYI...I stayed at the Golden Parnassus we paid for transportation but it is litterly a 15 min walk.

Great Fun and Fish - Great Experience Jimmy was an excellent guide he circled around several times to help me and others who had seaweed I'm the prop that caused the engine to act sluggish . Nice view of the lagoon canals and out on the ocean ..the snorkeling was wonder for a beginner on calm waters and plenty of fish to see. I took the 3pm tour so the sun wasn't too bad and by the ride back it wasn't a problem. In August 2022. Great experience ..I would only recommend sharing the prop clearing technique of reversing the prop to clear it at the beginning of the tour so drivers can do it on their own and not miss a beat or slow down the tour ..otherwise excellent time

10/10!! - Me and my girlfriend went on the jungle tour trip with our guide Jorge and we had such an amazing time! We would highly recommend the tour to anyone who is thinking about doing it. The tour was around two and a half hours long overall but that including driving the really easy (and really fun) to drive speedboats to the snorkelling location and then a good amount of time in the water and seeing the amazing coral reefs and underwater statues which we did not know would be there! We were really well looked after by Jorge who gave us all the information we required to be safe and also answered all of our questions about the area and the wildlife we asked. To top of it all off after we got back to the docks after driving the boats back from the reef we received a Tequila tasting experience that we did not realise we would get to have included and we were told all about how traditional and ‘proper’ Tequila is made. It was one our favourite excursions of our whole trip to Mexico and we did quite a few of the main ones too, we’d like to thank the team and especially Jorge for giving us an experience we will always remember!!

If you’re contemplating this, do it! - Great fun and better than I imagined! Roy was a great tour guide and ensured we had the thrill of driving the boat at a decent speed, whilst keeping us all safe and getting us to our destinations.
The snorkelling was good and not too busy (we’ve done the Great Barrier Reef and Red Sea and this was a lot quieter).
If you’re contemplating this activity, do it. You won’t regret it.
We did the 9am trip then hit a beautiful beach for the afternoon before heading back to our hotel half hour away.

Good experience for the price - They were a little un organized to begin with, will tell you parking is $2 but when you go to pay… the valet insists on $5, that was not appreciated.
Photos they take and the drone footage wasn’t great, I didn’t even bother asking the price as they are always over priced anyways, took some myself instead.
Snorkeling was okay, the statue they show you under water is cool but you can tell it’s just to attract tourists and not actual ruins.
Our guide Jimmy was nice and very attentive, my father waited in boat while we snorkeled as he doesn’t swim and jimmy gave him some water while he waited for us.
I do like he didn’t bring ‘fish food’ with our snorkel group and let us just swim around naturally.
Price was decent for what the tour is, and the amenities were ok as well. I do wish they didn’t push people to tip as hard as they do, as then it’s not a tip for great service if you got it. I tip very well when I have great service and don’t feel forced to. :-)
Was a fun experience overall, although the pushy sales for tequila at the end was expected but IMO it’s getting old with so many tours doing the same spiel.

Prepare for really risky trip, not for beginners - This is not a complaint. I just want to share my experience. I knew it is a speed boat but did not realize that I had to become a Formula 1 racer on the water in a 30 minutes. I was on the trip with my mother, we planned to enjoy ocean, look at mangrove forest and snorkeling. I did not have any experience driving the boat, and I told them at the beginning. We had to speed so fast within our first few minutes that u felt that I am not sure I would be safe to come back in one piece. Thus trip is not for beginners and if you are first time think before you do it. Our boat stopped twice, made us feel list in the middle of the ocean. One tour guide us definitely not enough for group of 10 ppl or 5 boats. They should offer different levels, we were not able to see anything in this mangrove forest. All I remember trying to be safe and not turn the boat upside down, my whole life past in front of me. I would say it was one of scariest experiences I have ever had, the day before I did zip line 9 times, but that boat trip was really something. I understand they are trying to make money but 2 hour is not something that you can enjoy. We were in a race all time.
