The guide Maui was...

Rochell_L, Jan 2025

The guide Maui was amazing, made we feel very welcome as I was travelling by myself. The journey is super long and the day I went the weather was a bit rubbish but the lagoon is worth it!! The captain of the boat on the boat tour seemed to really know what he was talking about, if only I did!’ My Spanish wasn’t really good enough to understand everything he was saying. Maybe ask for a boat with someone who can translate for you if you need it.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Our staff do their best to make our travelers to feel welcome, we are glad that you got to enjoy the lagoon and the cenotes We hope to welcome you again for your next adventure, we'll keep improving!

WARNING. WARNING.

James_B, Nov 2024

WARNING WARNING. This trip starts with a 5 hour non stop coach ride. Then the places you visit are very nothing like the photos, the are dirty, the lunch is at 4pm and the food is waiting on the table with flies all over when you arrive. At the end of the day another 5 hour non stop coach ride. How the driver was able to safely drive for that time I do not know.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

The transportation time was described and advertised as a full day activity at the content of the tour page. You should have been aware that there were long transportation times. This review does not have any truth in it, the times you claimed, in reality were not true The places to visit are exactly as the photos, every single thing advertised is included in the tour All locations are under constant maintance, they weren't any kind of dirty nor the food had flies This review was made by someone who wanted a free tour and didn't get it.

Breath taking!!
