Best experience in Cancun! - The visit to the Mayan caves to learn about the history was a beautiful experience for my family. This was our first time snorkeling and going through a Cenote and our guide made it easy and fun! This was an experience we will never forget!

Wonderful, highly recommend, a few things to know.. - Such a good time. Ismael was a great guide and very attentive. We loved the Mayan tour, the snorkeling was very fun (lots of stingrays!) and the celotes swim was truly the highlight of the tour. Tips for travelers: wear your swimsuit under your clothes, apply sunscreen before you get started, wear comfy shoes first and then change into water shoes for snorkeling and celotes. You can change out of your swimsuit after the celotes swim. Lunch was very good as well.

Ocean adventures snorkeling and tulum - Our guide was Sofia, from Spain, and her 20+ years of scuba diving experience greatly improved our snorkeling adventures pointing out rays, turtles, coral types, and the many species of fish. Her humor and down to earth personality resonated with our whole crew (blend of Canadians and Americans). A job well done Sofia...highly recommend

Full day of fun in Tulum - A friend and I are staying Cancun for a few days we wanted to do a fun day trip and explore Tulum… this tour was great for that! We got to the the Mayan ruins, snorkel in the reef with fish, stingrays and a few turtles!! And ended in the Cenotes which totally blew my mind, that was so much fun. Sofia was an amazing tour guide, super friendly, laid back, approachable and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend bringing snacks with you, a waterproof phone case, and a change of clothes for the ride home 👍🏻👍🏻 again, thank you to Sofia! She looked out for us all day 🙏🏻🤙🏻😃🐢

1st time in Playa de Carmen - Tulman was impressive. We got there early before it got crowded, so we really enjoyed it. It was my 1st time snorkeling, so that was quite an experience! It was enjoyable once I got the hang of it. But swimming in the centote was the highlight of the tour for me. It was awesome !!

Tulum ruins and two cenotes very fun - Really nice trip with really nice professional guide and driver. Joaquin and Yuriel did a great job taking us to Tulum and two cenotes. The van wasn’t very comfortable and we didn’t eat lunch until 3pm otherwise this would have gotten 5 stars.

Okay. Average. Great tour guides - Its decent. Not the best, it's just okay. Nothing you cant do yourself. The best part is the tour guide. We had Claudia & Tony the photographer and they were GREAT. Friendly, very knowledgable they weren't pushy or anything. They explained the Ruins/Mayan culture nicely. But to be honest, you can just drive there and explore yourself (it would be cheaper). They took us to a beach which was beautiful. We opted out of the snorkeling and stayed by the beach. The locals were great. Again we could have just drove there. Would be cheaper. We then went to the "private cenote" which was really all that. Going to Gran Cenote is a MUCH BETTER experience. The lunch was HORRIBLE 0/10 tacos were soggy and had no flavor. All in all the guides were the highlight. Everything else you can do yourself and it would be cheaper and better

Good tour team, bad tour experience - Corrected review: Honest review: First of all, the team, including the driver Angel, tour guide Monse, and cameraman Rodrigo, were all very friendly and professional. They did their best to satisfy the visitors. However, I'm not recommending this tour for four reasons: 1. They advised in the additional notes to wear sunscreen at the hotel. However, before the snorkeling activity, you will be asked to wash it all off in the shower before stepping into the water. This caused my wife to get a severe sunburn, which affected our vacation. 2. The lunch provided at the end of the tour was awful, literally. It was at a local restaurant in the rainforest, which offered three tacos per person. The way they stored the food was unhealthy and unhygienic, plus the taste was not good either. Basically, I would rate the lunch 1 out of 5. 3. You will be asked not to bring anything yourself to the snorkeling location. Even towels and clothes must remain in the car. Surprisingly, we noticed other tours allowed their participants to bring belongings, including towels and clothes, to the snorkeling area. 4. You will be discouraged from bringing your phone because they want to charge you $60 USD at the end of the tour per family for photos. Of course, this is optional and not a mandatory cost. We chose not to be photographed during the tour. However, if your phone is waterproof, please do bring it and take your pictures. I would suggest reserving these kinds of tours in your resort lobby, as everyone will be picked up and dropped off at the same place, and you won't have the headache of circling around for other people's pickups and drop-offs.

Traumatic experience - I would give our trip a 5 star rating except for the snorkeling part. That part gets a negative. Our boat captain actually ran over some other snorkelers going full speed. It was very traumatic for us. He didn’t even stop to see if anyone was hurt, It’s hard to believe they were ok-the boat actually went over the top of them-going full speed. Then, we were very hesitant to get in the water, for fear another boat would run us over. We could not relax to enjoy snorkeling because we felt we needed to watch for other boats. Then our boat left us and the other boat beside ours also left. We were very afraid. I know there are some risks involved with snorkeling, but you wouldn’t think being run over was one.
