Enjoyable moments. - I would have liked a schedule of events to know how to dress and what to take for each experience. Our boat captain did not speak much English. All I remember from her in English was: "Lady, follow me!" when we were snorkeling. Our initial leader who spoke English well, did not accompany us on the excursion. The road to get to the boat was long and bumpy and as I came from Cancun Club Med, the day was from 5 AM to 8 PM. I did really enjoy seeing the dolphins and turtle up close from the boat. The bird island should have been circle both ways so those on the other side could see and photo good, too.

Expensive and far to much time and effort to see very little - Ridiculously long journey to get there down a dirt path - bouncing around all the way. Completely unorganised on arrival in Sian Kaan. We spent 20 mins with dolphins - you don’t swim with them. About 15-20 mins with turtles again you don’t swim with them. Snorkel for 20 mins and that’s about it. Waste of time really and very expensive The food was good at the buffet.
