★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,781 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $44Our pick

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 St. Thomas’s $90 National Park snorkeling tour, with two snorkel stops, turtles, coral, open bar, timing, value, and practical tips.

“The equipment they provide is the cheapest available. You’d think for $500 per family, they’d have good snorkels. But no, these didn’t have the valves water blockers that you can get from Walmart snorkels. Just bring a bendy straw to the beach and you’ll have equipment as good as this company.”

“Réservation facile et très bon contact avec la personne de l'agence via WhatsApp Notre capitaine Collin et son adjoint Yohan ont été vraiment top! Animation et explications impeccables! Cependant, le lancement de la journée a été décevant. Le rendez vous était fixé à 9h45 pour un départ à 10h. Notre premier contact sur place s'est fait à 10h20 suite à une sollicitation de l'agence de notre part et la personne qui nous a "accueilli" a été impolie, froide et désagréable. Nous sommes partis avec 1h de retard sans explication ni excuses et une très mauvaise première impression ! Heureusement que le personnel à bord et la qualité des fonds marins…”

“Alles Bestens! Nachdem wir, aufgrund einer allergischen Reaktion meines Sohnes (selbst verschuldet), die Wanderung im Dschungel erstmal abbrechen musste, fuhr uns unser Guide Gonzalo auf meinen Wunsch hin ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken zu einem Arzt. Dort wurden wir freundlich und kompetent versorgt. Nach einer kurzen Pause konnten wir dann, zu meiner und meiner Sohnes Freude, doch noch den Teil mit dem Schnorchel nachholen. Unser Guide war immer total freundlich, war super ausgerüstet (Trinkwasser, erste Hilfe Set, etc.), hat sehr professionell auf alles reagiert und hatte die Situation immer im Griff. Vielen Dank dafür! Ich würde diese Tour mit Gonzalo als Guide jedem empfehlen!”
