Great snorkeling tour. I got sea sick and so did a few others in our group, I recommend taking sea sickness tables prior to the tour. Our guide was very funny and attentive to all of our needs. I highly recommend this snorkel tour, it will work out your legs 😁

Great small group snorkel trip. Lots to see. Staff very attentive. Be ready to walk to the check in spot and back to the pier. Would do again.

We had an exceptional day with this agency — everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The snorkeling experience was absolutely beautiful, and our guide was outstanding. GERSON was attentive, very patient, and incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this agency!

Our guide, Garrison, was great. He was friendly, upbeat and very knowledgeable. It was short and sweet and we still had the rest of our day to explore.

Sanjana_J, Jul 2026
AMAZING!!! worth the money & staff is so nice and we saw so many cool animals - turtles, stingrays, sharks, etc

A lovely trip!

Cara_W, Jun 2026
It was a lovely trip! We have sore muscles from swimming today, so be prepared for that! The crew was very kind and gave some guidance on proper fit, but you may want to consider bringing your own mask as we did have some issues keeping water out of them.

Mika_D, May 2026
Gerson and Diego were amazing! It was a good experience and since it’s a meeting point it’s good that they are just 10 min walk from the ferry!

Good snorkeling trip.

Leslie_K, May 2026
Excellent adventure. The snorkeling was nice- not the best in the world l, but we saw a lot of fish, a turtle, and a starfish. The statues were less dramatic than the pictures lead you to believe, but it is what is it. The company did a good job of organizing and communicating. We had margaritas on board (seemed a bit weak, but nobody needs to be drinking on a boat when a snorkeling!). A light snack afterwards back at the meeting place doesn’t include drinks. Jerson and Diego were great.

The guides including Theo, were very attentive and kind, during the 3 stops we saw lots of amazing sea life. However drinks and snacks were not served until end of trip.

Great Excursion on Isla.

Kelly_T, Apr 2026
Great outing on a semi private boat! Only 8 people on the excursion. Staff was super friendly and informative. Saw a ton of fish and ocean wildlife. Would definitely book again.

Excellent No-frills Snorkeling

Michael_S, Mar 2026
Excellent snorkeling with a great guide and boat captain. Took pictures of us and posted on website for free. Snacks were not served until after returning to office 10 minute walk from dock and restaurant that served them was slow and obviously hoping that you would purchase more. The food was excellent if you were not in hurry to leave and get to beach.

Isle Mujeres snorkel trip never forget

Tony_D, Mar 2026
This was an amazing trip! Alexis and Ernesto were amazing guides and made us all feel very comfortable and safe. I would go back again and again. So many fish, sea turtles and even a nurse shark! The underwater museum was incredible as well! Thumbs way up

So much fun!

Elise_M, Mar 2026
This was such a great experience, 10/10 recommend! Kevin was a great guide & Diego took us to great spots. The semi private tour was perfect, it’s a small group so you get more 1/1 guidance, but we also had fun together. Highly recommend!

Great snorkeling!

Cara_S, Mar 2026
Our guide and captain were both wonderful! Charming, sweet, knowledgeable. Masks, snorkel, fins provided.

Enjoyable snorkelling tour!

Wendy_B, Feb 2026
I really enjoyed the snorkelling on this tour. I've done a lot of snorkelling, and it was actually better than I expected. I'm glad I went in the small group for more personalized service, and liked swimming with the guide to point out different fish and show us where to go. The snacks at the restaurant afterwards were delicious as well! 👍

Great Snorkelling

81tambamsue, Feb 2026
It was a great day! Diego and his colleague took very good care of our group of 7. We went to three different locations and they all had lots of fish and beautiful reef. I would book again in a heartbeat. They were professional, on time and the tour even went over the promised four hours. It was a blast!

Private tour not private

Elisa_A, Feb 2026
The tour was nice and the guys very professional and fun. This said
we booked semi-private tour to avoid crowds and to have the chance to snorkeling with a small group of people. We checked-in on time and, when the activity should have been already started, we have been informed that there wasn’t a group for us on that day, so we have been added to a standard group. We were 17! Ok, we have been refunded 25USD pp but we were left with no choice as refusing the standard group would have meant not to snorkeling at all on that day. In the end we didn’t received the service we paid for and we would have liked to know it beforehand (maybe the day before) to be able to pick another provider or another day.

Perfect

Elisa_S, Feb 2026
The best snorkeling we've ever experienced. Diego and Alexis were excellent and have us some history of the area. A very special day.

Best Snorkeling Ever!

Roxane_W, Jan 2026
It was fabulous snorkeling. We are in our 60's and 20+ years older than the other divers but kept up just fine! Fabulous guide and fish were amazing, some of the best snorkeling we had ever done.

Fun experience

Brianna, Jan 2026
Our experience was great! We had a small group of 6 including ourselves and our instructor was informative on the dolphins. The 2 dolphin experience was a lot of fun. We could have done without the sea lion or manatee as those were very brief and felt like we were being herded and rushed a bit. They definitely want you to buy the picture packages and it's more than the experience itself, by a lot. Even if you just want one picture it's $40 or the package was $177. You have to pay for lockers, too, which everything all kind of adds up and makes it a tourist trap. Overall though, we had so much fun with the dolphin interactions and glad we did it!! There's more to do there than just that, they had a couple of pools if you brought your children and wanted to make a day of it.

Take sea sickness medication!

Katie_H, Jan 2026
This was a lot of fun for me as a first time snorkeler and we saw tons of animals and plants under the water. One thing to be aware of is that it's quite a small boat and it's likely to move a lot both at rest and during transit. I highly recommend taking motion sickness medication like bonine in advance. My husband didn't take it and was quite sea sick despite having spent a lot of time in the water and never having an issue before. Even with medication I was a bit woozy for the rest of the day.

Snorkel Experience

Jill_B, Nov 2025
VERY nice and knowledgeable staff ( special thank-you to Juan and Diego). We enjoyed the turquoise sea; plenty of fish ( small and quite large) ; the highlight was a young turtle sighting; great ceviche to follow. We had a GREAT afternoon!

underwater safari

Bryn_R, Oct 2025
Ernesto and Diego are the best guides. Diego showed us turtle, barracuda, rays with homemade guacamole and ceviche after our snorkeling

Vadim_L, Oct 2025
Great tour. Kind guides Diego and Fernando. Some locations are protected nature zones with sun cream regulated. It makes sense to use a UV protection t-shirt.

Snorkeling Trip

Lizette_M, Oct 2025
It’s the best snorkeling experience I have had so far. I saw stingrays and one turtle and hundreds of colorful fishes of all sizes. My one big complaint is I have not received my trip pictures and I have text the guy Diego directly more than twice. To me this is very unprofessional, he has not even acknowledged my text.

Very nice experience. We...

Danelle_B, Aug 2025
Very nice experience. We had fun snorkeling and stoppped at 4 different places and got to see a turtle, stingrays and barracuda.

yeshwant_S, Jul 2025
It was hard to find the meeting place, once we got there no one was there to greet for 20 minutes. We were not even sure if there was going to be a tour. Lunch was really bad. No one in our group could eat it. Overall very disappointed with this experience

3 hour VIP small group

Mercedes_W, Jul 2025
Pros- 3 locations, lots of fish, guide helps point them out and tell you what kinds. Small water bottles and margaritas. Cons- Do NOT bring anyone that can’t just jump off the side of boat. They expect you to jump off the side and get back up a ladder that the last step is right at water level and the rungs are far spaced out causing strain on legs and back getting back in the boat. We asked to use the ladder to get in but they refused until my 60 year old mom begged them. The child’s life jacket was hanging by threads. Also the meeting location- you have to walk a quarter mile to the meeting point from the ferry station. Then you wait in the heat for everyone to arrive. we wasted 30 min past scheduled time just to fast walk back to basically the ferry station. The healthy sandwich is mayo and shredded carrots on wheat bread.

Freaking awesome!

Jennifer_S, Jul 2025
This snorkeling experience was so much fun and it was thanks to Uriel and Ernesto! Ernesto was such a great guide and I actually got to see a puffer fish for the first time because of him. Definitely recommend this trip and you won't be disappointed. The whole thing was just beautiful.
