Full throttle
Marvin_A, Nov 2023
Our boat got filled with water while we are snorkelling, but then the tour guide assisted us right away, after the water removal we are guided back to our group and the best experience ever, coz we are driving full throttle all the way to catch up. The best boat ride experience.

Terrible
Racquel_W, Oct 2023
OMG, dont book. I went for this excursion bc I was looking for something action packed and bc I loved snorkeling. We arrived early per instructions. I think this is just a ploy to sell us other things bc there was no line or even other customers. It worked, we rented two jet skis to kill time. Jet skis slow and outdated, given a very small area to ride. Water not clear in this marina. After the old jet skis, we waited for the speedboat adventure. Started 15 min after reservation time, we were told they CANCELLED THE SNORKELING portion due to bad weather but I’m a snorkeler and the weather was just fine. Sunny and not too windy. The speedboats were dirty and didn’t go fast at all (jet skis were faster) then you must follow the guide in a single file line along the coast of the marina in a giant circle. There is no jungle. Their “jungle” is just some trees/bushes in the marina where the water turns black. Maybe this place was good in the 90’s idk. Also, though we Ubered there, you can’t Uber back due to ban. So you have to pay the local taxis who price gouge for 3x Uber cost. Just don’t do it.

Everyone at Aquaworld were so helpful & nice. I booked this excursion online & had no problems with our tour. They were so nice that we booked the Isla Mujeres tour for the very next day.

Do it !
Kay_L, Oct 2023
Bring sunglasses and sunscreen. It was very fun especially to drive your own speedboat. The workers were good at explaining everything as well. But the wind from going fast, and sun will have you squinting. There’s no shade on the speedboat so you will get hit with the sun the whole time. We didn’t snorkel because the current was too strong.

William_J, Sep 2023
This tour was very Adventurous and amazing. The first time I've driven a miniature speed boat, it was a lot of fun. Snorkeling was awesome as well, plenty of fish swim next to you and the coral reef was amazing also well. Really good tour. Our tour guide, Ceasar, was amazing!!!

Fun in the sun
Shawn_A, Aug 2023
The staff is amazing, very fun and outgoing. The boats you drive are very easy to use and the ride is beautiful to where you snorkel. Saw many colorful fish and a lobster. Well worth the money and good way to cool off in the heat.

Great excursion, great guide
Pat_C, Jul 2023
Would highly recommend this! Cesar was a great guide and did a fantastic job helping my wife who is a non-swimmer. All she had to do was hold on to his life jacket and he guided her around personally.

This was so much fun. I can’t swim so I panicked during snorkeling but my instructor was so calling, helpful and understanding. Did not come with transportation but that wasn’t an issue.
