The crew was wonderful!...
The crew was wonderful!
Josua', Guiermo and Demi were fun and attentive. And the ceviche snack was delish!
The Palancar Reef is badly bleached and I question if tourists should be taken there.
The boat engine broke down twice but they got it repaired and it didn't impact our experience.

Fun times and a better deal!
To be clear, we wanted to rank it 4.75 out of 5!
This trio was very attentive and kind. There was 14 of us on a catamaran together and this was much better than the larger groups! We were able to see lots of fish and enjoy the boat ride. The snack of ceviche, guacamole, and fruit was superb! Oliver even danced with our group - we thoroughly enjoyed the day. All around, highly recommend.

Arrive early, they are...
Arrive early, they are little disorganized. Our captain and the guide were amazing. Wish we had been able to snorkel longer and be at the sand bar a kittle longer. But overall and fir the price well worth it!

Highlight of vacation!
We loved this experience and it was the highlight of our vacation! The guides kept us all safe and were helpful and caring to ensure our snorkel gear was working properly. They prepared a delicious ceviche lunch for us at the sand bar. My only complaint is that I tried reaching out after our excursion to order photos and they never got back to me. Why take photos if you don't provide online ordering?
