Excellent customer service! - Excelente service, México knows customer service! They try hard to speak English, however us Americans want everyone to speak English. This tour was really cool. Pristine coral life however it sheds light on how fragile life is. Keep in mind that everything is an attempt to get money from you, is it any different in the US? Atleast here the service is great!

We had a great time with wonderful staff - Such a great experience! Firstly, the staff was amazing. Our tour guide Mike was the best- he was friendly, informative, and very funny! Mike made sure that the entire group stayed together while we snorkeled. We snorkeled for about an hour and we mainly saw a wide variety of small fish, lots of coral reefs, and a few barracudas. They supply us with new snorkeling gear and lend us goggles and lifevests. The only thing about snorkeling is that they are very particular about following the rules of the national park, so preservation of the reef is their top priority. Do not wear sunscreen! They will make you take a shower to rub it all off. Also, the water is quite shallow and you can get really close to the reefs, which could be either a good or bad thing. The only bad part about snorkeling was that the tour group was kind of big. Our group was about 15-20 people, and we bumped into each other a lot underwater. It made it difficult to avoid bumping into the coral at times. The tequila tasting was surprisingly really good! We are not the biggest fans of tequila, but the tasting consisted of 6 different types of tequila that progressively tasted better. The shots were pretty small, but expensive local tequila was used. Also, the tasting was very informative as they explained the whole process of making tequila. The tacos were also pretty good. We had the fish tacos and you can see our view of the beach from the restaurant. We have had better tacos elsewhere, but the fish was delicious! They gave us 3 tacos each for lunch, which was just the right amount for us. Overall, a great experience that is well worth the value. Shoutout to the staff for making the experience what it was!

Great experience. Would go again! - I’ve been snorkeling in Barbados, Hawaii, and the Dominican. This was one of the best experiences of them all! It was my first time in Mexico, and I LOVED IT!! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout. In other experiences, half of the excursion time was spent getting to the spot. Not this one. You can see where we are going from shore. Fair warning though, the initial swim did seem a bit daunting at first as I’m not overly comfortable in the water. The boat has to anchor a distance away from the snorkeling area because of the shallow depth of the water. I was wondering if I was going to make it. But once I settled in and relaxed, the expanse of coral and sea life was amazing! The current did most of the work taking us back to the boat. I’m ready to go again! While the tacos and tequila were a nice bonus, I was really just extremely satisfied with the snorkeling.

10/10 - We had a wonderful time snorkeling! The reefs were so unique and we saw so many types of fish and even some sting rays. I would say this snorkeling adventure is best for people who have been snorkeling before, everyone in our group had prior experience. (But I'm sure that they would be more than willing to take the time with new snorkelers). They offered to pick us up from our hotel in their nice air conditioned van, but we just coordinated to drive ourselves straight to the snorkel prep house. All equipment was provided to us, and everything was very clean (the snorkels were brand new). They had lockers to put your stuff in, but there were more families on our tour than usable lockers. (Don't bring valuables with you if you can help it) We didn't read that lunch was included in our tour so we were surprised when the gourmet taco place across the street asked for our orders. The chicken tacos were amazing. Also included was a tequila tasting, and (the amazing and wonderful) Alberto (also our snorkel guide) taught us all about the types of tequila made in México. Many people left before the tequila tasting and lunch, so make sure you don't skip these experiences. We got there at 9:20 am and left around 1pm. Thanks to everyone for an amazing time!

Colorful tropical fish and nice tacos. Neat town, - Good value. Enjoyed snorkeling. Great tacos. Would have liked a heads up about separate tipping of driver, restaurant and dive teams.

Snorkeling in Puerto Morenos - We loved seeing the fish and the small barracuda. It’s very sad to see that all the coral has been bleached to shades of brown. The staff was attentive and someone stays in the water with you the whole time. It was very windy yesterday and people who used other companies said they had huge waves. We were not bothered at all as the reef in Puerto Morelos is close to shore.

Great snorkeling, subpar rest - The snorkeling was excellent! The crew was great and helped our 4-year old who decided he didn't want to have his face in the water, allowing me to do some snorkeling. However, the times and waiting made me give a lower rating overall. Our shuttle got us to the shop around 9:20 am, but then we had to wait until around 10 to start heading to the boat. To get to the boat, we had to walk through chest high water, which led to us getting our towels wet. We boated/snorkeled for around an hour and a half. When we got back to shore, we ordered tacos, then went back to the shop and showered/changed. After everyone did this (took a while) we headed back to the restaurant. Only then did they start making the tacos, so it was a long wait there. After that, there was then an hour to explore the surrounding area. We would have preferred to just head back at that point, but the shuttle wasn't scheduled for an hour. We asked when/where the tequila tasting was, and this was just in a shopping area, not offered by the tour itself (even though it says it is included). The shop tried to sell us $300 bottles of tequila even though we just wanted to learn and taste. After rushing back to the shop for the shuttle, it was running very late, and we had to wait for at least 30 more minutes. The snorkeling was excellent, but I would have preferred to skip the rest of the experience.

I don't know if it's a natural reef, but it looked weak and I don't know where the admiration came from - Don't expect to see anything from Attenborough's films. The leader of the expedition is not necessarily nice. Afterwards, they wanted to sell me a photo of my leg underwater with a few more successful photos for $50 USD. I don't recommend it, although I don't know if you'll see something better. Trip 3/10.
