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.

So easy to follow directions. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. Our guide Jamil was excellent.

This was a great experience. Reality doesn’t quite line up with the images in the listing; however, it was still a fun time and we got to see a few turtles.
The experience begins with a lengthy registration process with around 50 people. You’re assigned a guide who will take you out into the water in groups of 6-8 to swim in a lagoon area. All the guides seemed great, but Anthony was excellent. He was very friendl, patient, and informative, and he made sure everyone had a good experience. He looked after the group very well. Request Anthony if you get the chance!
Randy_P, Jul 2026
Anthony was great saw many turtles and other marine life safe and fun swim. I would recommend this company as they are truly compassionate about the environment.
Allie_D, Jul 2026
My husband and I really enjoyed this excursion! The hosts were quick to reply when we had questions about transportation, and really cared about our experience. Pictures and videos were great, too.
Aaron_S, Jul 2026
Had an amazing experience with our guide Raul. We saw 3 very cute turtles! They provide life jackets but I would also make sure you are a decent swimmer and at least know the technique.
Birmaik_Q, Jul 2026
Good experience family memories and our guide Raul was patient and explained everything and took us straight to where the turtle 🐢 ♥️ was. I will do it again
Martha_G, Jul 2026
Claudio was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kind. I felt safe and Claudio explained everything prior to entering the water. We knew how to communicate while in the water and ask for help if needed. He checked on us frequently. Felt very safe. Highly recommend this excursion.

I did this tour for my birthday and had an amazing experience. Cy was a great guide and helped us out a lot. We got to see lots of cool things thanks to him! Thank you Cy for a one of a kind moment!
Tomeka_S, Jul 2026
Paula was amazing. I was the only one in my tour. She was very knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. We were in the water around 45-50 minutes. The pics and videos turned out good. I would recommend.
Alyssa_L, Jul 2026
Wasn't even 1 1/2 hours. It was 1/2 hour. Got placed in a group where people couldn't swim, and ended up taking away from my time w these people that can't swim. Wouldn't recommend at all too anyone a waste of money and then wouldn't even switch our group so we could be with people whom can swim!
Jennifer_F, Jul 2026
It is great for beginners and young children.
The people who work there were great and nice to talk to.
Angela_K, Jul 2026
Lily was so nice and informative. It was an amazing experience. It was so cool to see the marine life. I will definitely do this again.
Monique_R, Jul 2026
So fun! We got to see sea turtles, coral, sea cucumbers and a bunch more fish. Jill was a wonderful instructor. She was patient and knowledgeable! You could tell she really cared about our experience and the marine life. Would highly recommend!
Josh_S, Jul 2026
Super fun and easy! My wife and I had an amazing time looking for turtles and other marine life. Our guide was Claudio and that dude is excellent 💯. Claudio took great care of our entire group while still making sure we were all able to see a turtle. At the end of the tour he gave us the video from the gopro he used and we couldn't have been more satisfied with how they structured everything to make sure we were in a good spot to do what we needed to be safe at the same time. Overall super impressed with everything including the lunch recommendations after we were done. Book this tour!!!!!!!
Emily_B, Jul 2026
If you can request a guide, definitely try to get Anthony. He is such a great swimmer, knowledgeable, funny, and kept everyone safe. We saw 3 turtles even for a slow day and not at the peak hours which is 9AM. would do this again and recommend to family and friends
Giancarlo_A, Jul 2026
Sebas and Saito were the best and made sure we were all doing good and had a great time! I would definitely recommend and would come back and do tour with them again!
Markeiana_S, Jul 2026

Michal_B, Jul 2026
It's super simple and fun. You swim off shore and see coral, fish, turtles. Our guide was so nice, friendly, patient and sweet. We had a blast!
Dennis_H, Jul 2026
Amazing tour, great wildlife encounters, friendly and helpful guides (we had Lily on our tour if I recall correctly). Great to have photos/videos. Only complaint: meeting point was not conspicuous or easy to spot and slightly challenging to find.
John_H, Jul 2026
On the beach but you have an opportunity to see so much. We saw octopus, squid, sea turtles, and other fish.
Elizabeth_K, Jul 2026
This was a wonderful experience. There was a small hiccup with meeting spot but it got worked out. Our guide McKenzie was amazing. We got excellent pics and videos that we will truly never forget. She made sure we were all safe and well. The company had us reschedule the tour a little earlier in the morning than originally booked so we would see more sea life and have calmer waters and we’re so glad we did. We saw 3 turtles and lots of fish.
Claire_V, Jun 2026
I had so much fun snorkeling. I’m traveling solo and made friends instantly with my group. Our guide Cy was helpful and kind. He made sure that we got the chance to see many turtles and fish and coral even though the weather was looking poor. I loved the videos we got as well!
Clair_Y, Jun 2026
Our snorkel guide Kenzie was great! We saw turtles, squids and fish, kids thought it’s very cool and enjoyed.
John_F, Jun 2026
This was a great tour! The manager, Ricky, is so passionate about wildlife and marine life specifically. This was well organized with each tour being broken down to small groups. We were in a group of 8 and had a fantastic guide. Would definitely recommend this company and tour.
Juliette_M, Jun 2026
It was well guided, they made everyone feel safe and comfortable. We saw a sea turtle! Great for beginners.
Tayo_A, Jun 2026
I guess I expected more from the snorkeling experience, I don't think it was worth the $40. The place we were is right off the pier, it was so dusty and not clear you hardly see anything. We did see a couple turtles but I was hoping to see more aquatic life. If it's your first time snorkeling, it's a good intro to it, but if you're a more experienced snorkeler and seen aquatic life in different parts of the world, this was pretty disappointing.
tysheonna_g, Jun 2026
Kenzie was amazing ! She is the best tour guide !!! Give her a raise!!! We have so much fun is was my first time and I would definitely come back again!!
Julie_W, Jun 2026
Our guide was Raúl. He did a great job showing us the ocean life and teaching us about what we saw. We saw lots of different fish, sea cucumbers, starfish, &?different sea urchins. We never saw turtles but the experience is still worth it. It was nice to have a video of our experience. If we booked again we would look for adult only so it was a little less distracting.
Wanda_V, Jun 2026
The tour was worth it, the tour guide was so attentive and making sure that we were all good and safe, was a great experience
