The snorkeling experience was super fun and the tour guides were very knowledgeable. It was easy to locate the meetup point and the briefing was quick. Escambron Beach was absolutely beautiful with clear and warm water with bright sand. The snorkeling company also recommended us to move our booking to 9am as they said it would be calmer with more fish. It didn’t disappoint as we saw plenty of fish and even a baby sea turtle!! Our tour guide was Jill, and she did a great job capturing videos while also making sure we were safe. She spotted the baby turtle for us and made this a trip to remember. We snorkel on vacation often but this will be one that always stands out. Would gladly book again! Thank you to Jill and the rest of the team.

Randy was an amazing tour guide. She provided good instruction and made us feel very safe and comfortable. She made sure we went to places where we could find the most fish and we even saw sea turtles! The GoPro video and pictures were a great way to capture our experience. Highly recommended!!
Kristina_R, May 2026
This experience was amazing! Everything we needed for snorkeling was provided. Everything was well organized and the staff were friendly and professional. The staff even watched over our belongings while we snorkeled. We got to see many types of fish and a sea turtle. Ile, our guide, was great. Highly recommended.
Anka_V, Apr 2026
It was well run with an introduction to the local history and marine life. Our wonderful guide Yamil stuck a perfect balance of professional and educational content and fun relaxed exploration of the area. We took the early morning tour when the water was crystal clear and the marine life was most active. I would highly recommend it!

Snorkeling with the sea turtles and tropical fish was an unforgettable experience! I went with my best friend, my daughter, and her daughter (ages 13 and 14), and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip.
Randi was absolutely spectacular—truly the heart of the experience. She helped us get comfortably into our gear, made sure everyone felt confident, and was an incredible teacher and guide from start to finish. Her patience, knowledge, and enthusiasm made all the difference, especially for the kids.
We were lucky enough to see multiple sea turtles along with a variety of beautiful fish, and the whole experience felt almost surreal. It was such a special day for all of us.
This is 100% worth the money and perfect for both teens and adults. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided snorkeling adventure!

We had a private guided tour with Matt. He was knowledgeable, kind and patient! I would recommend this tour for kids as well as adults.
B_R, Apr 2026
Abby was a perfect guide. My partner and I felt the very most comfortable and safe swimming with her.
Jessica_C, Apr 2026
The guide was knowledgeable and the snorkeling experience itself was good. That said, the initial interaction at check-in was disappointing. We arrived only a few (3) minutes after the start time, and the person handling check-in was noticeably rude and abrupt, repeatedly questioning whether we had received a call in a way that felt unnecessary and set a negative tone at the start of the activity.
Also, they require the use of shared snorkel equipment, which may not be comfortable for all guests. They did not allow personal full face mask.
Carlos_A, Apr 2026
It was alot of fun, the tour guide was knowledgeable and always watched for our safety. We were able to see a bunch of turtles and fish. The area and beach are beautiful the price was reasonable. Definitely recommended doing this.
Mikaela_W, Apr 2026
This was an amazing experience! Our guide Yamil taught us all the snorkeling basics and took some great videos for us - highly recommend!
cierra_S, Apr 2026
Were not provided a go pro and the tour was only 20 minutes don’t recommend paying for this tour. Wish i wasnt told to leave my camera behind because it could be “distracting”
Julia_B, Apr 2026
We had a great time and our tour guide was great. He led us to see all kinds of cool fish and sea turtles. Would love to do it again!

Well organized and experienced instructors that were patient and accommodating of all swimming abilities. Sightings and photos exactly what we hoped for. Great that they provide photos so you can focus on enjoying the experience

Anthony was amazing! The turtles were amazing and all the fishes! We got to also float over a barracuda
Great fun

We were in the right parking area, but wrong parking lot. I received a call from Ricky trying to guide us to the correct parking area. He was very rude and had no patience. The parking lot attendant was rude as well as the ticket machine was out of paper. I thought this was on a boat, which was totally my issue. I paid for 4 family members, only 2 was able to snorkel for approx. 10 mins due to my husband having a cramp in his leg. As I will like to acknowledge the tour guide was friendly, informative and did her best to make us comfortable. However, the call guiding us into the correct parking area was so obnoxious I could not bring myself to participate. Customer service should always come first. We try to stick it out due to my 8 year old that was excited to snorkel. I do not recommend!

Beginner friendly, try to go in the morning for more marine life. We saw some pretty cool fish and our instructor Randy was great.
Amy_S, Apr 2026
Our entire group had an amazing time. It was informative and had a huge regard for the safety and preservation of the sea life. We saw turtles and many colorful fish. Thank you for an amazing experience.
Ingrid_M, Apr 2026
This was honestly the best $45 I’ve ever spent! The experience was so worth it from start to finish. Kenzie was absolutely amazing super friendly, professional, and made everything so enjoyable and easy. I would 100% recommend this to anyone considering it!
Myeisha_D, Apr 2026
It was great. She was great and very understanding. It was two adults and three kids. 2 non swimmers. She was very knowledgeable and intentional. She helped and took pics and videos. My 8 year old loved it.
Ezekiel_S, Apr 2026
Kenzie was amazing, she made sure we had an excellent experience and got up close views on the camera for us
Latoya_W, Apr 2026
This was a Great experience especially since I have not been swimming in years!! Rey was very patient and informative. She made sure we had a great experience and felt safe.
todd_s, Apr 2026
Great guides, fun time. The lagoon is a little depleted of wildlife unfortunately but the guides are great at finding things and will get you video. It was a fun time nonetheless.
Farhan_S, Apr 2026
Highly recommend this activity! Went with my wife and we both enjoyed our time. Although, we both have prior experience with snorkeling, I do believe that beginners should be able to catch on quickly. One thing we noticed that the equipment that they had was of really nice quality (better than our previous experiences in other places) - the life jackets fit well and the rest of the gear was also top notch.
We saw a green sea turtle and a variety of small fish! Got really high quality pictures and videos afterwards too. Highly recommend for couples, families or anyone else up for an adventure!
Fatima_B, Apr 2026
Lolo was our guide and he did a really good job. He taught us all the basics of snorkeling and guided through many different spots - we got to see ruins, coral, fish, and turtles. It was a really cool experience and he made sure to check on us the whole time to ensure we were having fun.
Shaun_N, Apr 2026
Truly special experience for first time snorkelers. The tour was a bit shorter than advertised, but the area provides multiple turtles, fish, and other special treats to view and explore. Check in and process was easy and the host was professional and courteous to all levels of experience
MARCE_K, Apr 2026
Lily was great! She was funny, friendly and knowledgeable, she made great videos and pictures of our group. We love Lily!
Christina_S, Mar 2026
Experience was great! We saw turtles, a squid and a lot of fish! Our videos were really good and fun to watch.
Linda_R, Mar 2026
The experience was great. I was surprised to see that the bay water itself was pretty cloudy. Perhaps because it’s such a protected bay? Kenzie was our snorkeling guide and she was wonderful. I also appreciated how many instructors there were so most of us were broken up into family groupings. And the videos were a plus!
Melanie_F, Mar 2026
Owner was super informative and guide was great! But water was murky, didn’t see anything which was disappointing but hey, it happens.
Jaime_Z, Mar 2026
