Awesome snorkeling spots, great equipment, top-notch guide

Tina_R, May 2024

The snorkeling to three reefs was amazing. We saw part of the underwater museum, a ship wreck and many, many turtles! Fili and her crew knew exactly where to go to see the most fish and to be away from the crowd. She was very patient with the children in our group.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with us and had such a positive experience with Fili. Our team is dedicated to ensuring every detail is just right, and we’re glad it showed! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we look forward to hosting you again!

Total Scam - Do Not Use This Company!!

Leslie_L, Mar 2024

I must tell you that this tour was not at all what we expected or paid for. We did not do any of the tour mentioned reefs due to the fact that our tour guide, Mario and his colleague's boat was not in good working order with the motors. They took us to a place called I believe Villa Blanca and that was the only stop we had. We also had to ask about the promised lunch which was supposed to be at a beach club. Mario has an uncle that works at Mahi Mahi a local restaurant and he probably called in a favor for us to go there for lunch since the day was a total bust. The transportation was seriously messed up! Not sure what happened with the logistics of us being picked up at our hotel at the time they had told us, but we were eventually picked up and dropped off at our hotel thank goodness!! Their company used an outside transportation company which would have been useful information for knowing who is picking you up? I respectfully asked for a refund of our money as this whole excursion was not at all what we paid for. I have never had any issues with tours that I have booked through Viator and the communication with this particular company was very good until we addressed that the tour was not as expected. I would not recommend using this company for any excursions you are thinking about doing.

The snorkeling trip and reefs were great. The boat operators were good, they made a lovely ceviche lunch and had drinks for us. However....extra costs were not anticipated, Harbour fees, 3 hours of 'free time' in Cozumel where we were salty, hot, left to wait for a ferry on our own. Then some people missed the ferry back, we had another 1.5 hour wait without cash in hand. Then the bus was stuck on the highway while we waited another 2 hours on a dark back street for that transportation. 😒 very disappointed and exhausted by the time we got to our resort. 😬

Fun in the sun

Calvin_T, May 2022

The snorkeling was amazing 10 out of 10. Fhe tour guides were very helpful. After the snorkeling they took us to a beach club. Food was great. Drinks over price. They said we would send 3 hours at the beach club included. After 2 hours requested a tax back to our original pick up. 30 min later taxied showed up. Only thing I would do different is skip the beach club.
