Review of Puerto Morelos reef snorkeling from Cancun, with boat time, fish, tacos, tequila tasting, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“The people were nice and competent. However they made us follow in a line like children and barely went near to the reef, we saw mostly sand and very few fish. We were unable to hover to look at the few fish we did see and we felt herded. We saw very little coral or fish. After the snorkeling we were forced to listen to a 30 min info-mertial about tequila they were selling, and were not allowed to wander through the market as promised. We felt misinformed. The tour indicated we also could wander through a market which did not happen, we walked past it as we had to…”

Review of the $119 Las Vegas to Grand Canyon South Rim tour, with lunch, WiFi, guide commentary, major viewpoints, and practical tips.
“It was a long day--but worth it. I did not want to try driving from Vegas to see the Grand Canyon and back again after hiking the Rim Trail. Jodi, our guide was spectacular and made the five-hour each way bus trip a meaningful learning experience. The Grand Canyon is beyond words to describe its beauty. This was the best way to visit the Grand Canyon in a one-day adventure from Vegas.”

Next, Jamie & Sam (also very funny and informative) took us out on the water & showed us the spectacular coastline & any wildlife within sight!

“100% recommend – a stunning national park & a really great guide 🗺️ We were lucky with the weather and with feeding the birds 🪶 Our guide shared great information about the wildlife, throughout the trip and during the ride.
