Private Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, and cenotes from Cancun with hotel pickup, tacos, and flexible pacing for families.
“This private tour was the highlight of our trip and one that I can’t recommend any higher. The tour was seamless with the pick-up from our hotel, drive to Tulum ruins, short hike to the boat that took us to the reef where we saw fish, rays, and sea turtles, and culminated in a short drive to the underground which was truly amazing. So thankful for our tour guide Mariano, our photographer Lara. You gave us an amazing day and memory!! So thankful!”

“We had a group of 7 people and there was more than enough space for all of us. We brought our own alcohol and had the crew make us drinks. We anchored in two nice spots to hang out and swim around in. The waters were beautiful. The staff was so kind and attentive. Would 100% recommend for a fun vacation activity.”

Luxury catamaran to Isla Mujeres with guided El Meco snorkeling, Zaza beach club, free downtown time, and Cancun Scenic Tower.
“I chose this snorkelling adventure because we were over 60 and the other ones wouldn't take people over the age of 60. So we were very surprised once on board to find out we couldn't snorkel and that it was a harbour master rule of 60 years of age. When I booked the tour I said in the comments our ages and that we were great swimmers but I think that since everyone has so little English that the comment was passed over. When we checked in though the lady didn't say anything about it when she saw our ID. Other people said the snorkelling wasn't good anyway because of…”
Drive a speedboat through Cancun mangroves, snorkel Punta Nizuc Reef, and visit the MUSA underwater museum with gear and a guide.
“Awesome way to explore part of MUSA and literally swim with the fishes. There were so many fishes swimming around our group that I was really concerned I'd touch them (don't touch the wildlife. It's bad for them) by accident. Very cool experience! The currents and wind were pretty strong the day we went so we couldn't go into the deeper part of the area for snorkeling but it was still really cool. Irvin is a fantastic guide. He was super nice and pointed out cool things to see underwater and shared his knowledge about the reefs. Highly recommend the tour and extra, extra recommend taking the tour with Irvin!”
Puerto Morelos snorkel on the Great Mayan Reef, Cancun hotel pickup, tequila tasting, beachside lunch, and town time in 4 hours.
“Incredible trip, everything was very well organised and coordinated. The ride was a little bumpy, but everything else more than made up for that! The nature was very beautiful, and our guides made sure to point out interesting species. Make sure to pick out plastic in the water if you see it 🙂”
MUSA and Manchones snorkel tour in Isla Mujeres: swim past underwater sculpture gallery, then spot turtles and sting rays in clear reef water.
“LALO was the best guide ever. so friendly and patience. we saw soooo many colored fishes and statues on the ground. we really had our time to snorkel - no bullshit besides. ;)”
Sail from Puerto Morelos on a small catamaran, snorkel the reef with a marine park guide, and enjoy a light lunch plus open bar.
“The snorkel and sail was the perfect Excursion with Marina La Bonita. Shout out to Jorge the office manager, he sent me pictures of the driver and vans, so we had peace of mind about traveling to Puerto Morales from Cancun. Misael our driver was the best, we talked and laughed the whole ride there and back. Jose and Angel were our guides on the boat and the kept everyone comfortable and informed. And I can’t forget Umey, he was the best 😊 This excursion was not over crowded and nor did it give off an obnoxious party vibe. It was relaxing and peaceful. Anything you book with Marina La…”
Private 46ft Sea Ray yacht in Cancun for up to 15. Choose 2 to 6 hours, cruise Cancun Bay or snorkel Isla Mujeres at Playa Norte.
“The yacht was really nice and clean. However the men on the boat didn’t follow any covid rules like I was told they would before booking. They captain was in his nose the entire time and never washed his hands. And one guy was literally in my face so close you would have thought he was trying to kiss me then he proceeds to put his hands on my face to take my mask off. As a group of women we felt extremely uncomfortable. I’m a easy person to please if they didn’t wanna wear mask cool but stay out of our face!”
