Awesome Trip.
Our guide was fantastic! He showed us so many sea creatures in the reefs that we would have missed. He also shepherded the fish around the reefs so we can see them all. Well planned trip to 4 different locations. Water clarity was superb. Fish was abundant. I would do it again.

Excellent trip and great guide!
Omar was our tour guide and he was excellent. Very helpful and friendly. Went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great trip.
We saw sting rays, turtles, fish, starfish and had a great trip! The marina is walkable from the cruise port as well. No need to pay for an overpriced taxi or shuttle if you don’t mind walking a bit.

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?

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.

Bring underwater camera....
Bring underwater camera. Our tour was from 10-2, we didn't get back to the cruise ship area until 3. Be sure you allow time needed to board your ship.

Be careful not to touch or disturb the wildlife.
To maximize your chances of seeing wildlife, move as little as possible and let the fish come to you.
