Was an Ok tour. Pay for what you get

Laurel_P, Mar 2025

A very standard experience. Things that were rushed should not have been. Things that were not rushed, should have been. The water was too rough for snorkeling and we were not allowed to use all the equipment. We asked but no. Took 45 min to load the boat to leave Las Animas. Boat needs some maintenance (floor, railing bolts coming out, life jacket clips broken, bathrooms). Drinks and food was ok. When i got back on the boat was told i couldn’t have a drink yet…had to wait an hour (even though its open bar). Staff was kind and pleasant. Trip went an hour over schedule returning home.

Sun, snorkeling and adventure

Beach Boy Tours was unforgettable! Snorkeling at the Arches of Mismaloya was peaceful and full of fish, and we were lucky to see giant whales, making it even more magical. At Las Animas Beach, we picked jet skiing while others hiked to Quimixto waterfalls. With breakfast, lunch, an open bar, and a lively crew, the whole trip felt like a party. Bring extra cash for tips, photos, and beach activities. Totally worth it and highly recommend!

Trip was just okay,...

Tom_G, Jun 2023

Trip was just okay, wouldn't do it again. Only made 2 stops, thought we were making 3. Snorkeling was okay, water was pretty murky, a lot of people in same area swimming together. Lunch at thr Beach was just okay, took a long time to get food. Getting back on the boat after beach stay took way to long, need a better process. Boat ride back to the port was way to slow. Seemed dragged out for longer trip. Workers were friendly and nice, they did a great job for what it was.
