guxiayu3, Sep 2026

Best in snorkeling crew Cancun

Awesome day out on the water. Our guide was Keke and he was very knowledgeable and attentive to everyone in the group. The photographer was an awesome and took awesome pictures of the group and individual photos. Would highly recommend this for anyone snorkeling for the fish time to try this. The waters were pretty calm and the currents weren’t too strong.

Stuart0305, Sep 2026

Great experience

We were picked up from our hotel and taken straight to marina where we were given our masks and flippers. My son struggled with the conventional mask and tube so they gave him a full face mask to use instead, which made the whole experience for him and gave him the confidence to swim around at each site taking loads of photos with his GoPro.Billy led our group and was excellent, taking care of everyone and giving clear instructions on what to do. We went to various sites and were lucky enough to see a sea turtle at one which my son managed to get a photo of.Overall a great way to spend a few hours, good value and a lot of fun.

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.

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!

Rio Secreto and Tulum Tour from Cancun or Riviera Maya Hotels

erin_walkow, Aug 2026

A place not to be missed

Two families (children are 18, 16, 11 and 9) had a wonderful day with our guide Imelda: She was so knowledgeable and respectful of the cave system, and the Mayan history and culture. It was a truly moving experience to be somewhere that felt so untouched by humanity, We even got to see a blind cavefish!

kpickerell, Aug 2026

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.

Rio Secreto and Tulum Tour from Cancun or Riviera Maya Hotels

abbywO2572GO, Aug 2026

Great Experience

It was so fun the caves were amazing and everyone that worked was so helpful. From the driver and photographer to the guide and driver everyone was incredible helpful. For what you get the fee is so fair and the visit is very long. So much to see and it’s incredible the whole atmosphere is great and our group was just my eight family members. There weren’t tons of people anywhere and no one in the cave with us.

Tiana_C, Jul 2026

Beautiful Cenotes

We opted for the 3 cenote tour, in lieu of the ATV's, zip lines, horses, etc. It was still an awesome tour! It was beautiful, and calm, but still exciting and exhilarating! I would do this tour again 100%!
