Private Deep Sea Fishing Charter – Puerto Morelos

Ryan_J, Aug 2026

Incredible crew - fantastic fishing for the family

Brilliant trip - crew were excellent and helped my 6 and 8 year old kids to catch some brilliant fish. As advised my wife and kids took an anti motion sickness tablet and they were fine. Thoroughly recommend the experience to anyone who would like to sample just how vibrant and full of life the Mexican carribean sea is! 10 / 10 - amazing - crew were superb and super patient with my wife and kids as it was their first time deep sea fishing.

Full-Day Tour of Tulum Ruins and Cenotes with Lunch

Marcel_B, Aug 2026

Tulum and Cenote tour

It was a great experience! Though it was a long drive to get there from hotel in Cancun, our driver Joe made it seem enjoyable! He stopped to pick up others and our tour guide Juan along the way. We first stopped to swim with the turtles at a beach. Some participated in that and others shopped or had a snack and drink at a beachfront restaurant. Then we went to visit the Tulum ruins! Very interesting and beautiful sights. Plenty of shopping souvenirs shops! Then it was lunch at a local Mexican restaurant. Best tacos I’ve ever had! Finally, we went to the Cenotes to swim in the caverns! Great experience! Juan and Joe were very informative and professional and made everyone feel safe in the water! Great experience, would recommend it to everybody!

Girls just wanna have fun!

What an unforgettable experience! Michelle, Fabio, Captain Juan and Abel were the best guides for this bucket list adventure. We got to swim with whale sharks, captured every step of the way with the GoPros provided and an added plus was the angelic manta rays that made an appearance. 10/10.

Great hosts, fantastic views, awesome experience

A fantastic experience with Mauricio and Martine with good energy and laughs. They were very kind with us, being on our first fishing excursion, and showed us the how to fight when reeling in baracuda and how to properly send out lines for bottom fishing. A morning well spent and highly suggested!

Best day in Tulum

This was the best day of our trip. The experiences were fantastic but what really made the day shine was the personalized care and attention Ivan and Dennis paid to ensuring our entire group (which included 11 people from ages 11 months to 81 years) was well taken care of. Thank you so much!

Great experience!

We had a great experience with Marin and his crew, he made us feel very welcome and comfortable in the water, my fiancé was already certified and also complimented how thorough and correct our diving instructor was when giving advice and tips/tricks. I would recommend diving with this group to anyone and everyone no matter your experience level we had a blast!

Whale Shark Snorkeling Experience from Cancun and Riviera Maya

tamir365, Aug 2026

Not to be missed!

Went with my family. I didn't intend to get into the water....just watch from the boat since I don't swim and had a bad experience with snorkel gear two days prior swimming with turtles (that I never saw cause the water was too murky). Our guide, Antonio, encouraged me to go in to not miss the opportunity. He went into the water with my...held my hand, and then passed me off the Alexis...who held my hand and guided me to see these gentle giants! It was amazing! I really loved that they gave you flippers to make "swimming" a lot easier. Boat captain, Lupe, and ship mate, Chewie, were also wonderful.

Great dive and good for all skill levels

Excellent experience! I’ve been a certified diver for many years with advanced certs, but my partner was a newbie so we opted for something easy for him. This was the perfect choice! There was an abundance of fish life, the team was professional, gear was nice and adequate, and because no dive was below 30 feet there was an abundance of color and no need for a safety stop. The guide, Lauren, was awesome. She took it slow and easy and easy and was so kind and helpful. It really boosted my partner’s confidence and ability. Highly recommend.
