    Great value. Melqui was great!
    Kelly_R, Apr 2024
    Melqui, our tour guide, was incredible! I guess this trip depends on the weather and luck. We were a group of 5 and booked for 8:30. Saw about 5-6 turtles and a sting ray. It was an ideal time because there was not as much people and not too hot. He took some great pictures but the water that day was not as clear as expected. No boat required. The water was shallow but I can see how this trip is not as ideal for kids. Melqui explained everything thoroughly. Thank you Melqui for the great experience!
    Highly recommended great value

    Fantastic snorkeling trip and it is amazing value with the inclusion of photos. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, we saw several turtles and some stingray and loved the included photos.
    Sad experience
    Vanessa_L, Apr 2024
    The Experience has been cancelled at 8:45h, due to weather conditions, when we were already at the Meeting point and paid 30 Dollars from Tulum to come to Akumal. We were very sad, but they refund the money immediately.
    Must Do! With Martin! In Paradise!
    liu_l, Mar 2024
    Totally worth every penny, Martin was great and took so many amazing photos of us, he was great at explaining what the area is trying to achieve with their sustainable initiatives. The length and pace was suited for all. Definitely a must do!
    Amazing experience worth every penny!

    Amazing trip seen around 6 Green Turtles! one Southern Sting Ray, one Eagle Ray and different fish, including fish that were cleaning the shell's of the turtles by eating algae from their shells etc. Alondra was an amazing guide, very informative and made you feel safe in the sea even when the waves got bigger the further out you went, during our snorkeling he also pointed out a Canon/ wheel that he said was around 200 years old at least (there was turtle underneath it too). Highly recommend!
    Good experience for first timer

    It was a good experience for my daughter and I - her first time snorkeling! The guide was helpful and knowledgeable.
    We love Akumal and Martin!

    Martin was the most wonderful guide we could have asked for! It was a private tour and he was so patient with us, showed us around the good snorkeling places and was very knowledgeable. We really could not have had a better guids or experience.
    We saw turtles!
    CarrieC, Feb 2024
    We saw 4 turtles and 4 stingrays! Guide was good to explain things to us. Pictures came out ok. Changing area/restrooms were clean. Snacks available to purchase outside if you want.
    Highlight of my vacation.
    Nicole_H, Jan 2024
    The turtles were lovely. Our guide was great too. Best part: the turtles and fish could come and go. It’s like they were visiting us.
    Great experience!
    Jacobus_A, Jan 2024
    Fantastic guide, so helpful with the kids, taking his time and finding turtles, stingrays, starfish and lots of beautiful fish. Also great to get lots of pictures included. Highly recommended!
    Amazing experience that everyone should try during their trip to Mexico!
    Iyana_D, Dec 2023
    Our guides were amazing and we saw a lot of turtles. It’s longer than 45 min and an affordable price. I would recommend everyone take this tour when in Mexico.
    Excellent Tour with Turtles

    Best experience ever. Very nice excursion and good Tour guide Martin. Always again. Nice Moment with the turtles
    The guide was awesome!
    Rocio_R, Oct 2023
    We were lucky enough to see more than a few turtles. We had the best tour guide! Our group of 8 was a wide range of mixed ages (9-69) and swimming abilities and to top it off some of us only spoke English or Spanish and they accommodated us all and while being kind and patient with all of us. One of the highlights of our trip.
    Our guide was very...
    Mary_N, Jul 2023
    Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind. I was able to see many turtles as well as other sea animals.
    Amazing tour guide...
    Lisa_L, Jul 2023
    Amazing tour guide (bilingual and super patient with our family). Meeting spot was easy to get to and not to far from activity. Awesome time was had by all
    saw turtles.
    Damian_G, Jun 2023
    Turtles played along and we saw a few. Not great for kids, no help with adjusting snorkels, masks, things that kids do to slow you down. Never received pics that were promised.
    Amazing!
    Cely_S, Mar 2023
    We had a really great time swimming with turtles, stingrays and tropical fish! Martin is a really nice guide. We recommend!
    Une expérience qui donne le sourire
    Celia_P, Apr 2024
    Trop beau ! Les tortues mangent vont et viennent à la surface Si vous aimez explorer et voir des animaux libres : allez y. Martin est hyper cool hyper patient hyper motivé.
    Unglaublich tolles Erlebnis in kleiner Gruppe

    Wir buchten die Aktivität einen Tag zuvor. Bezahlung über Paypal funktionierte super. Sofort wurde mit uns Kontakt über WhatsApp aufgenommen und uns über die gebuchte Leistung informiert. Da das Wetter nicht so gut schien, wurde uns die Option gegeben kostenlos zu stornieren. Wir nahmen dennoch teil und waren mit nur 4 weiteren Personen unterwegs. Das war super angenehm und der Lebensraum der Schildkröten konnte so respektiert werden. Die Guides waren toll! Sie erklärten alles und achteten sowohl auf uns, als auch die Tiere. Sie machten Bilder und ließen Sie uns über WhatsApp zukommen. Wir haben dank der Guides viele Tiere gesehen, bevor die großen Menschenmassen kamen. Wir würden es jederzeit wieder buchen! Vielen Dank!
    Experiência diferente
