Fun snorkeling adventure - My family had a wonderful unique experience. We had a private tour where we got to see sea turtles, lobster, squid, and a variety of beautiful fish. They provided snacks (fresh fruit and yummy guacamole) between our snorkeling sessions. Thanks for a great adventure.

Great coral reefs! - Excellent tour! There were just three of us, including our teenage son, so we got a privilege of a private tour! Family owned and operated, this tour is exactly what we wanted! David and Brie are very passionate about nature and love the reef. Brie’s brother was helping with boat and at the water, and her father was the captain of our boat. The company stand is easy to find in front of the 40 Canones hotel. After the tour we stayed at the same beach, used their three hammocks and had nachos at the restaurant. During the tour we did two long stops, Brie was guiding us in the water, her brother took pictures. We forgot our GoPro camera, so we felt really lucky to get some images from ‘under the sea’:) Brie had white fins, very helpful and easy to follow her. We saw beautiful corals, huge variety and very impressive. Lots of colorful fish, lobsters and even leopard sting ray! The drinks were available anytime throughout the tour and guacamole (grandmother recipe!) was freshly prepared in front of us. Very welcoming, we felt as a part of the family! Highly recommended 👌

Wonderful dive sights and fewer people - Dave, Chris and Brie were friendly and very professional. It was a treat to be in a tiny group rather than thronged by 60 other finned folks. We saw a Manatee and a large turtle among the beautiful fish and coral. Wonderful trip. Highly recommended. If you want to go where others aren't, this is for you.

Mahahual snokeling adventure - La Leyena Eco-Tours is a wonderful family owned business. We did the 3-hour snokeling excursion and it did not disappoint--many muli-colored fish, turtles, a ray. Bri and her family are delightful and when they found things of interest, they were sure to swim over to us and lead us to the interesting sealife. The limited number of participants was a added bonus as we received individual attention.

Super snorkeling in Mahahual - The snorkeling was excellent. The crew was extremely helpful and experienced. Bree the owner, was delightful to be with. They are super conscious of the environment. They provided drinks and snacks. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Fabulous day snorkeling!! - We had a fabulous time! It was a bit windy the day we went but Bri was fantastic in keeping us relaxed and focused. We saw so many beautiful fish, turtles, jelly fish and the coral reef is beyond amazing! The boat is very nice and well kept. They are also very proactive in keeping the beach clean and doing what they can to keep the coral reef beautiful and thriving. They supplied us with lots of drinks and wonderful guacamole and chips. Thanks so much for making it a wonderful day and so many great memories!!

AMAZING snorkelling experience !! - We went with our 2 kids ( 10 and 12 y old). This snorkelling experience is the best excursion we have ever done. The La Leyenda Team provided customised service and was very caring with our kids. They took the time to explain everything, gave us information about the different fishes that we would see ( we even saw a beautiful turtle). They also provided us with a snack, drink and towels. The boat was very clean. Cherry on the cake : they sent us the pictures that they made from us under water via email. We would definitely book again with them. THANK YOU La Leyenda team for this great experience and your professionalism !

Great Snorkeling and Learning Experience - We booked this tour at the last minute and glad we did! The family that owns and ran the tour were friendly and informative . Not only did the 4 of us enjoy 3 different snorkeling stops, we also were informed about how much the reef is impact by human actions and how this ECO-Tours group was working with researching organizations on mapping the underwater area. The snorkeling was so much fun ( I love looking at coral and little fishies!! ) Thanks for a great experience!
