After we had only seen one sculpture of the underwater museum and pointed it out, the guide explained to us that there weren’t any good swimmers in our group and that’s why he made a shortcut near the boat and we were happy to swim out again afterwards and that’s how it was then too. We saw more sculptures and a ray and a turtle and were on the road for a total of 1.5 hours. Very successful and great! In addition, drinking is included and you have a boat tour of about 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back. Very nicely done. Clear recommendation!

So much fun! I was SO glad that we didn’t do the submarine because it opened up a lot of time to go with Mateo to see the museum. When the submarine people joined, it held up the movement because some couldn’t swim well. But it was so great!! So friendly and perfect activity’s

We enjoyed the snorkeling trip very much. It short but plenty of time to see the underwater museum and lots of fish. Very efficient and the crew were very nice. It included water, soda, beer and tequila. I would highly recommend the tour.

It was a great experience with the kids. The staffs were very friendly. They helped us to explore the main things then we swim ourselves for 2 hours and cathed the boat accordingly. Overall very good experience and kids enjoyed a lot.

Amazing guide and great places With corals and statues k Maya cutlure.
