Best guided tour ever! - Every part was my favorite part. Just be mentally ready for about 40 min on a bumpy road that's all.

Beautiful - Good guided trip. We saw a lot of wildlife and was able to go snorkeling. Birds, turtle, dolphins, manta ray, fish etc... Nice lunch in Punta Allen. Bumpy road to boat. Worth seeing this area.

Pretty expensive for what is REALLY is. Don’t recommend. - Even tho Our tour guide was super nice, we would not recommend that tour.. maybe take the time to check the migration period for the animals. We really didn’t see much.
But our big disappointment was that we book a snorkeling trip and…. We didn’t do any snorkeling.. what? Yeah so we paid for something we didn’t do that’s not okay..
Globally it was 3-4hours in a shuttle, the rest of the day seat in a boat watching -not much- and having lunch.
Pretty expensive for what it really is.
Not recommend.

Not worth it - The boat portion of this tour was really fun! Our captain didn’t speak English, but was very enthusiastic and clearly wanted everyone to have a great time. He was able to get his point across, but something to keep in mind. We didn’t stop at a sinkhole, we went to one snorkeling spot (which had about 5 other tour boats there by the time we left). The lunch we had after the tour was delicious.
The travel portion was awful. My friend and I had no idea it would be 5+ hours of travel time to get to the boat and back. The road down to and back from the fishing village is two hours of the roughest dirt road I’ve ever experienced. I specifically needed Dramamine for the car ride (which is not common for me). All told, we left our hotel at 7:30 AM and didn’t get home until about 7 PM. We were coming from playa del Carmen.
