One of the best... - One of the best snorkeling experiences in all of Costa Maya and Mahahual! We went to reef where we were the only people there. The sea life and reefs were fantastic and our guide and captain even more so. On the way back, the guacamole was fresh made and tasty. We will definitely do it again when visiting.

Very fun guide (Shout out to Christian) - We weren't able to see much that day because water was so murky, but the Crew was so fun and friendly! Took great care of us!

Dive here… - Awesome excursion! Very friendly, very safe, and brought delicious food for our diving. They worked hard to give us the best experience possible. We’re experienced snorkelers, but Joe was never far away with a floating ring just in case. They know the local topography and really went all out for us. This is good for beginners and advanced snorkelers, lots to see and a good crew. I’ll be back next time we’re in Costa Maya

Snorkeling peacefully - Brie and David were extremely caring and accommodating. I have a tendency to get motion sickness. Brie made sure that I was ok and was checking on me the whole time. I was able to see the beautiful reef, different types of fish, spotted stingray, and a turtle. Guacamole was very tasty 😋. Would recommend this activity and would do it again if I am back in Costa Maya. Thank you!

An amazing day with a fantastic team x - We had such a fantastic experience and cannot thank the team enough for their encouragement and reassurance to young nervous snorkellers. Bri lead our excursion and we cannotbthank her enough my daughter was very nervous and didn't manage to Snorkel but Bri was absolutely wonderful with her and encouraged her into the water for a short time. The snorkelling was a great experience for my son and I, stopping in a number of areas and viewing reef points, providing amazing memories we can hold forever. Thank you so much x

Cruise Passenger - ok tour - Pros: - 3 Turtles - good snorkel gear - small boat Cons: - English was not spoken by our guide or Captain (Jesus & Jesus) - Started 20 min late Unfortunate for us: - the reef is dead - water visibility was low - current made swimming rough We snorkel a lot and the reviews of this trip were wonderful. It was not what we hoped for BUT we saw turtles, so we can't be too upset.

Good family fun! - Reef was beautiful, lotta marine life. Water was pretty cloudy (hard to beat Cozumel), but still well worth it. Second snorkel site much better than the first. Crew was friendly.

Really Nice Family Operation - Wonderful family operating the boat, good meet-up instructions. They were very attentive to my sister in assisting her with learning to snorkel. The family with young children on our boat (total of 6 on the boat) had a great first snorkeling experience. Note the reefs are suffering bleaching, and the fish are minimal. Might have chosen another activity if I had realized how advanced it has become.

Not good. - Snorkeled for 20 min in 2 different spots. Neither spot was tropical. Didn't see many fish. Asked questions and they had no idea what i was saying because they didn't speak English. The guide was overzealous yelling. The beach was mucky grose sand. Only gave a 3 and not less because the couple at stand were nice but they didnt come on boat.

Great snorkeling trip - The excursion itself was very enjoyable! Although we didn’t see many fish due to windy weather and murky water, the overall experience was still excellent. The operator provided beverages along with delicious guacamole and chips during our return sail, which was a nice touch. However, I’m giving this experience 3 stars because the operator filmed the trip with a GoPro and promised to share the video shortly afterward. It has now been three weeks, and we have not received any follow-up or video links as promised.
