“Awesome experience (bucket list) - Best experience! We had a great time to include several swims with whale sharks, followed by ceviche and drinks at Isla Mujeres. They then had a quick snorkel trip before heading back. The guide was very helpful especially with kids. The boat wasn’t the nicest but the overall experience was great.” - Reviewed on 2021-08-13
