Beautiful and unique island snorkeling trip - Luis exceeded our expectations on this beautiful tour! He took us on a boat to Isla Ixtapa which is a small and beautiful island. We were given all the necessary equipment (including optional life jackets) and led in the water by a different snorkeling guide. I was stunned at how many fish we could see and all the marine life we were able to observe. Afterwards, we relaxed at the restaurant on the beach with some snacks and margaritas. I would advise that it was a bit difficult to get in and out of the boat as well as the water due to the strong current, so it may be a challenge for older folks or those with mobility issues. Luis recommended going early in the morning. We arrived around 10/10:30 and it was calm, but by the time we left around 12:30 it was crowded with much longer lines, so I definitely recommend going early. This was the second tour we took with Luis because the first one was so great. He is kind, accommodating and very knowledgeable!

Great day on Las Gatas Beach! - We had a great day at Las Gatas beach. Our guide Alejandro was prompt, polite, and a great snorkeling guide. He knew exactly where to take us to see the best fish and even a very large statue of Jesus Christ in the water. It was a beautiful beach and we enjoyed drinks and delicious food at the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Snorkeling with Pablo - This was an amazing snorkel tour to Las Gatas. Luis connected with us beforehand to confirm our pick up time and there he and Pablo were waiting for us! Both Pablo and Luis are local to Zihuatengo and have lots of knowledge to share, their English is awesome! Pablo was with us for the tour, he found all the great fish including a pufferfish and the statue of Jesus, he made sure we were safe and had everything we needed, we snorkeled for about 1 hour. We ended with a few beers and some delicious tacos at the restaurant which also kept an eye on our belongings! Pablo was an excellent guide, very friendly and chilled too! We highly recommend Luis and Pablo

Wonderful beach tour with our favourite guide Frank (Paco) - My mom and I went on this beach tour with Frank (Paco) our wonderful tour guide. We were fortunate to have Frank as a tour guide for our other tours my mom had booked. He spoke English very well and he was very pleasant. He picked us up at our Villa at Playa La Ropa beach and took us into Zihuatanejo to the fisherman’s pier. We all went over by boat to Las Gatas beach. It was so beautiful there and we had a nice relaxing time on the beach. We had a most delicious lunch and one of the best Pina Colada’s I’ve had in a while. We had a fantastic day.

Snorkeling Disappointment - You need to take "snorkel" out of the title of this tour. While our guide was experienced and a good source of information, the snorkeling was terrible. There were very few fish to see. The beach is just a family beach with safe swimming for the children. It was lined from one end to the other with restaurants.
