Entire experience was awesome from start to finish. Manny was the best. Great communication prior to the tour to ensure we met up at the right place and the right time. Manny’s energy was infectious and he made sure everyone had a great time and keeping everyone safe. Pictures and video can’t properly capture how clear and beautiful the water is. I can’t recall the captain’s name but he was also fantastic. I highly recommend them both.

This was a phenomenal experience. We saw so many tropical fish we hadn't seen before (best in my experience of snorkeling). There were three sites we went in the water, the last being the statues. Due to waves and current, the visibility for the statues wasn't phenomenal but we still saw a few things there. Gerson was a great guide, kept head count frequently and wrangled the group as people started straying; offered water after each site. Palomas were delicious. Our snacks were not on board, but rather after at a restaurant. Make sure to eat before going as we though lunch was provided on board and were starving after.

Our tour guide was fun and personable. It was a beautiful day and we saw three stingrays and a turtle! Only complaint about the actual tour was that they should probably offer people flippers when the water is a little rougher, for people who are less skilled at swimming. We stopped at three places, and the first place offered the best view of fish and stingrays and turtle (one of my best snorkeling experiences with the first stop!). The middle spot was meh. The last spot had the underwater statues, which I think would have been better if you were scuba diving or with more marine life. Margaritas on board and small snack after at a restaurant were nice touches!

Great trip - all kinds of fish, also spotted a couple of turtles, big waves - but felt totally safe with the boat and staff. Delicious little snack after, ended up eating a full meal in the restaurant which was really good.

It was fantastic! The crew were super friendly, we saw a tonne of fish including pufferfish, parrot fish and Barracuda. We even saw a Stingray snd a Green turtle. It was truly magical.

Had a lovely snorkel with Alexis and Diego, they were so kind, even though I got quite seasick. Thank you both!

The actual tour was good. Both Alexis and Diego were great and very helpful during the tour. The advertised margarita was nothing to rave about and the snack ended up being at a business next to the meeting point that was just looking to upscale. I would skip the drink and the snack but would recommend the tour.
Brad_S, Mar 2026
Amazing afternoon. Diego and Alexis were great. We went to three different locations. All were unique and amazing. Saw a ton of variety and the water is crystal clear.
Melissa_H, Mar 2026
Despite the windy weather, tour guide gave us the best experience possible. Kevin our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the rest of the crew kept us safe. Was such a beautiful and one of a kind experience. Would do this again. Highly recommend.
Krista_F, Mar 2026
Theo, Kevin, and Ernesto were top notch! We had an amazing time snorkeling with these guys! Definitely will book again!
Jessica_R, Mar 2026
Extremely fun snorkel trip. It was a crazy windy day and they still managed to find awesome places for us to see beautiful fish. Diego went out of his way to make sure we knew what we were seeing and that we are always safe. Loved the small boat feel. Tons of time in the water. Highly recommend
Jessica_H, Mar 2026
amazing experience, great for groups. saw a lot of sea life and a sting ray! our guilds were helpful for those who weren’t great swimmers. would recommend :)
EllenZehra_P, Mar 2026
The snorkelling was really cool, we saw loads of beautiful fish and manta rays, and the guides were friendly and helpful. The tour was great in general however we were asked for tips several times by various different people throughout the experience which was uncomfortable- maybe they are used to guests from the US where this is more normal but from my perspective it’s already a slightly expensive activity and asking for tips several times ruins the vibe a bit - makes me think either are the guides themselves not being paid enough or are they just trying to take advantage ? Not a good look either way
gloria_r, Mar 2026
Had an amazing time. The water was beautiful and there were so many fish. Crew and captain were amazing 👏👏👏
Cameron_P, Feb 2026
So awesome, we went to three different spots and snorkeled with a bunch of different fish. We saw sting ray and turtles too. It was beautiful and the best experience we could have asked for. The guides were really awesome and the whole trip was 10/10
Erik_O, Feb 2026
Overall a nice snorkeling experience.
Pretty hectic schedule when on the boat if you are a family with kids that you have to help with the snorkeling gear. The guides were very helpful once you are in the water.
The last snorkeling spot was beautiful and you get to see a lot of different fish.
Elizabeth_L, Feb 2026
So fun, well organized, the guides were great, and we saw lots of sea life. The 3-hour timing was perfect.
Olivia_M, Feb 2026
We had a great time on the boat with Island Adventures Mexico! Though the water was rougher than expected, we still had a great time
Diego_V, Feb 2026
This snorkeling excursion takes you to three different spots off the coast of Isla Mujeres, with each one being a fun unique experience. The first stop has you float with the current to a lighthouse checking out all the wild life along the route which was beautiful. The second spot is much calmer and you can swim around, seeing a bunch of different reefs and fish. The final spot was the underwater museum with statues and also a car lol. All of them were really fun!
Our guide Alexis was great and was taking photos of us with a GoPro while we snorkeled and swam around, and helpful in pointing out different kinds of animals like parrot fish and a manta ray.
Highly recommend this excursion, especially if you love swimming and nature!

Diego & Julio were excellent tour guides but I forgot to get their info so I could get the photos they took throughout the day
Josh_K, Jan 2026
Diego an Jonni were such a chill and fun team. The tour was the perfect amount of time for us and the the price was well worth it. Highly recommend this to any and all
Michele_M, Jan 2026
We had such a great experience with Diego! The water was amazing and the boat ride was so fun. We highly recommend
Ketan_D, Jan 2026
Had an amazing experience going underwater and Alam was very helpful and excellent during the snorkelling for me and my wife. A big thank you. Water was bumpy for a first timer like me. So if anyone does get sick due to bumpy rides, carry some gum with you

My partner and I were disappointed as the tour did not live up to the many positive reviews which led us to book it in the first place. After check in we had to wait upwards 30min to get on a boat because we were waiting for other tour participants who had either shown up late or were sharing our boat but booked through another tour outfit. This wouldn't have been a big deal had it been explained to us or had been set as a possibility from either the captain or the tour listing. After waiting with no clear information, we were finally led to a boat with a captain and guide who both spoke minimal English. Again this wouldn't have been an issue except that the tour listing specifically says the tour is offered in English. Additionally, there was no water available to us on board despite this also being promised by the listing and the employees who checked us in. Our first stop of the tour was confusingly Playa Norte - not a snorkel spot - where we were given 20ish minutes to swim. After that we went back to the dock - again with no explanation - to pick up yet more people. We finally headed to the lighthouse location in the national park and got to snorkel accompanied by our "guide" who didn't offer any explanation as to what we were seeing - either in the water or on the boat. We then went back to the dock yet again to drop off a few participants. Once again, this wouldn't have been an issue except that it was not explained to us. Finally we went to the MUSA snorkel spot and we're allowed to snorkel for all of 10ish min. before getting back on the boat. All the waiting and additional stops at the dock had added an additional hour and a half of boat time such that it was 4:30pm by the time we got to the restaurant for "lunch". My partner and I left without eating so we could enjoy the rest of our evening. The water was beautiful, the national park snorkeling was gorgeous, and the check in process was easy. Overall though, a disappointing unorganized experience.

Our snorkeling adventure at Isla Mujeres was the highlight of our trip! A huge thank you to Kevin, Ernesto, and our Captain for providing such a professional and exhilarating experience. Kevin and Ernesto were incredible guides—patient, knowledgeable, and they made sure we saw the most vibrant marine life and hidden gems under the water. The boat was well-maintained, the equipment was top-notch, and the crew’s energy was infectious.
Adena_W, Dec 2025
This trip was a good value snorkeling trip. Some of the snorkeling sites were better than others, but all in all we saw many fish and got to enjoy some drinks and snacks at the end.
Tina_M, Dec 2025
Pretty good but not great. Friendly staff that was a bit too laid back. The 2 in the water didn't corral the group well, or point out fishes and other wildlife clearly; we missed a sea turtle apparently. Likewise, the guide leading us on walk from meeting point cafe to boat was super fast and hard to follow. The fishes were beautiful in the shallow waters and the underwater museum was cool, but the choppy waves makes us think a morning tour would've helped. The mini lunch at the end was good. Best to not have eaten before tour in case of seasickness. No bathroom on board either.
Milena_R, Nov 2025
Had an amazing snorkeling experience! The tour was very well organized, and I loved that our group was small. Our guides, Diego and Ernesto, were fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable in the water.
Elizandra_F, Nov 2025
Literally the best. Both Diego who was our capitán and urial who was our guide were amazing. From the moment we got there from the moment we left the boat.
I almost gave up on the snorkeling because I couldn’t get the hang of it and Diego was super helpful and thanks to him I was able to see and enjoy the experience. Not to mention the ceviche. Wow 100/10
I recommend them hands down. So friendly to helpful and most importantly they keep the group together at all times. You get to see so many beautiful things. My fav was the stingray. It was enormous wow😍
Mallory_Q, Nov 2025
loved the tour guides! wonderful experience and beautiful water to snorkel in. I will be back in the summer to see the whale sharks!
Heather_C, Nov 2025
Great hosts, felt very safe! Clean new snorkel gear. They were very informative about each stop. Would do it again!
