Fantastic tour with a very skilled guide, Willy. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend! We went in February and were very lucky to see out-of-season flamingos, a small crocodile, dolphins, pelicans, etc! // Nos gustó muchísimo, el guía Willy lo hace super bien. Muchas gracias!

Willie, our guide, was so knowledgable and passionate about the island. His enthusiasm was infectious. He was so approachable and we felt we could ask him anything. We booked the group tour but there were only 3 of us on the tour so it felt so personal and intimate. We were welcomed so warmly at the office by all staff members and the place was easy to find and well signposted. The Cenote was incredible, especially the viewpoint from the watch tower. Whilst Punta Mosquito was busy, we got to see a ray which was amazing - Willie was able to tell us the species and so many interesting facts about them and all the animals we encountered. 10/10. Couldn’t recommend more!
