The snorkeling experience was super fun and the tour guides were very knowledgeable. It was easy to locate the meetup point and the briefing was quick. Escambron Beach was absolutely beautiful with clear and warm water with bright sand. The snorkeling company also recommended us to move our booking to 9am as they said it would be calmer with more fish. It didn’t disappoint as we saw plenty of fish and even a baby sea turtle!! Our tour guide was Jill, and she did a great job capturing videos while also making sure we were safe. She spotted the baby turtle for us and made this a trip to remember. We snorkel on vacation often but this will be one that always stands out. Would gladly book again! Thank you to Jill and the rest of the team.

Were not provided a go pro and the tour was only 20 minutes don’t recommend paying for this tour. Wish i wasnt told to leave my camera behind because it could be “distracting”

Well organized and experienced instructors that were patient and accommodating of all swimming abilities. Sightings and photos exactly what we hoped for. Great that they provide photos so you can focus on enjoying the experience

Great fun

We were in the right parking area, but wrong parking lot. I received a call from Ricky trying to guide us to the correct parking area. He was very rude and had no patience. The parking lot attendant was rude as well as the ticket machine was out of paper. I thought this was on a boat, which was totally my issue. I paid for 4 family members, only 2 was able to snorkel for approx. 10 mins due to my husband having a cramp in his leg. As I will like to acknowledge the tour guide was friendly, informative and did her best to make us comfortable. However, the call guiding us into the correct parking area was so obnoxious I could not bring myself to participate. Customer service should always come first. We try to stick it out due to my 8 year old that was excited to snorkel. I do not recommend!

This was honestly the best $45 I’ve ever spent! The experience was so worth it from start to finish. Kenzie was absolutely amazing super friendly, professional, and made everything so enjoyable and easy. I would 100% recommend this to anyone considering it!

Great guides, fun time. The lagoon is a little depleted of wildlife unfortunately but the guides are great at finding things and will get you video. It was a fun time nonetheless.
Farhan_S, Apr 2026
Highly recommend this activity! Went with my wife and we both enjoyed our time. Although, we both have prior experience with snorkeling, I do believe that beginners should be able to catch on quickly. One thing we noticed that the equipment that they had was of really nice quality (better than our previous experiences in other places) - the life jackets fit well and the rest of the gear was also top notch.
We saw a green sea turtle and a variety of small fish! Got really high quality pictures and videos afterwards too. Highly recommend for couples, families or anyone else up for an adventure!
Fatima_B, Apr 2026
Lolo was our guide and he did a really good job. He taught us all the basics of snorkeling and guided through many different spots - we got to see ruins, coral, fish, and turtles. It was a really cool experience and he made sure to check on us the whole time to ensure we were having fun.
Shaun_N, Apr 2026
Truly special experience for first time snorkelers. The tour was a bit shorter than advertised, but the area provides multiple turtles, fish, and other special treats to view and explore. Check in and process was easy and the host was professional and courteous to all levels of experience
MARCE_K, Apr 2026
Lily was great! She was funny, friendly and knowledgeable, she made great videos and pictures of our group. We love Lily!
Christina_S, Mar 2026
Experience was great! We saw turtles, a squid and a lot of fish! Our videos were really good and fun to watch.
Linda_R, Mar 2026
The experience was great. I was surprised to see that the bay water itself was pretty cloudy. Perhaps because it’s such a protected bay? Kenzie was our snorkeling guide and she was wonderful. I also appreciated how many instructors there were so most of us were broken up into family groupings. And the videos were a plus!
Melanie_F, Mar 2026
Owner was super informative and guide was great! But water was murky, didn’t see anything which was disappointing but hey, it happens.
Jaime_Z, Mar 2026
It was wonderful
Instructor Yamil was very great !!!
Felt comfortable and safe.
For a person who doesn't know how to swim I recommend.
Mary_C, Mar 2026
It was a little bit of a wait time getting organized to get into the water, but once we were in our groups, it was perfect.
Jane_S, Mar 2026
Such a fun experience and perfect amount of time. Seeing a sea turtle so closely was incredible. The instructor Yamil was great.
Linda_J, Mar 2026
We were a little disappointed that the actual tour only lasted one hour even though it was advertised as one hour and 30 minutes. Our guide Luis was wonderful and we could have enjoyed some more time with him.
Laura_G, Mar 2026
Great experience! I went with my son and husband. Kenzie was our guide. She was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly.
Akhilesh_P, Mar 2026
My plan got canceled by Viator on last minute for which we travelled for 2 hrs and faces the horrible weather after that. my car got low air pressure and was made me our whole in so much pain and in life threatening weather.
No compensation been provided other than we returned back. I felt so bad for my kids.
Kevin_H, Mar 2026
Really great experience! We had a very good time. Everything was very easy and was explained well, and there was lots of available parking. The cove was a very easy place to swim and the water was crystal clear. Things were well organized and the equipment was in good shape. We split up into groups of 8 or so, and our instructor Jill did a good job job getting us going. Then we just kind of floated around of an hour and saw two turtles and a bunch of fish. Afterwards we hong around while she uploaded pictures to our phone. Some shots of us under way and some of the turtles and fish 10/10 would recommend.
Lily_H, Mar 2026
Jill was our guide and she was amazing! Her energy was very calm and supportive and she had a lot of interesting information to share.
Amanda_T, Mar 2026
This tour made me love the ocean even more. We saw so many fish, a sea urchin and 2 turtles! It was fun being able to float on the water and breathe through the snorkel while watching the sea creatures. Our guide Aracelis/Celi was so kind and informative!
