Beautiful excursion, the guys who organize it are great and super helpful... unfortunately we arrived 40 minutes late due to rain that slowed down traffic and ferries to the island but the guys were super helpful and waited for us! I highly recommend booking with them as they are really knowledgeable and explain everything you see! The guide speaks Spanish and English very well and you can see that he loves what he does!

Great team and tour experience. They finish the tour with an incredible 4th stop surprise. Great service and would highly recommend. We saw stingrays, massive lobsters, stunning turtles and loads of different fish. Anyone looking for a snorkeling trip in Quintana Roo that is respectful of the turtles, this team were great.

Alex, our guide, was so amazing. Very fun, informative, and encouraging. We saw so many different sea creatures and got to explore the reefs while also respecting the natural environment.

Such an amazing experience! The guide went out of his way to find us some of the animals we really wanted to see. fantastic tour and highly recommend!!!!

El cielo was absolutely gorgeous, such a surreal experience swimming with the sting rays
