Private snorkeling tour Isla fun Tours

Comfortable relaxing snorkeling Roberto and Jimmy were very knowledgeable about the fish and area. We weren’t impressed with the MUSA kinda weird but that’s not their fault. weird statues and one arbitrary car in the middle of the ocean.

Private snorkelling tour

Basic boat with wooden bench seating and canopy for shade. The snorkelling equipment that we borrowed was in very good condition. There was water, pop and beer available. The captain and guide were welcoming, knowledgeable and pleasant. Our guide spoke very good English. Would definitely recommend this company.

Fun for the Whole Family

Our family of 5 had an amazing time on the water with this excursion. We were picked up at our resort, shuttled to Cancun & started with a beautiful boat ride over to Isla Mujeres. We took a little tour around the island coast while our guide gave us lots of information & answered our questions. Then we stopped & spent time snorkeling. There were so many beautiful fish that came right up to us. We even saw a barracuda. After that we took the boat to a gorgeous shallow swimming area where we had 40 minutes to relax & swim& enjoy the scenery. We were served delicious fruit & cold water & beer. It was perfect!

Christmas in Isla!

Perfect Snorkeling Trip

Incredible trip and the only way to go. All the tours are jam packed, with too many people on boats and catamarans and we show up, 4 of us, have an awesome boat with a guide and captain and it was perfect! We snorkeled the beautiful waters, saw the statues, lots of fish, relaxed on the boat and took in the views! Everything was great!

Amazing

Phillipe and Lolo were amazing ! We had the best time on our snorkel with them. They were amazing guides and saw so many fish, and the underwater statues. We will go again next time we come to isla :)

Guide was very patient...

Guide was very patient and helpful getting my husband and I getting in and out of the boat. Didn't snorkel so instead boated around Isla Mujeres. El capitán y Felipe.

Excellent snorkeling and lunch experience. Guide service was top-notch and very personalized. Email communications were timely. Ride pickups were also prompt. Lunch was delicious. We highly recommend this company and the excursion, and will likely use them again in future trips!

Absolutely perfect way to experience Isla Mujeres

Capitan Antonio and Manuel were excellent. I highly recommend booking this excursion. We were staying in Cancun. The hotel pick-up and drop-off were on time. The boat was much bigger than we anticipated and the back was covered so shade was always an option. Manuel played great music and was very attentive. The swimming and snorkeling spots were fantastic. Our two 10 year old boys and all the adults (2 families) had a great day. The water is surreal. This was the prefect day enjoying it not to mention the price is very fair.
