Great snorkeling experience - It’s a small boat w max 10 people. You should be a good swimmer, it’s a good exercise. You will see beautiful sea creatures, turtles, sea star, diff fishes, lobster, sting ray.. Daisy is a great tour guide and Mariposa( or something like that, i don’t remember het name) made beautiful picture even when the weather was not too good. Worth it!

Fun tour! Highly recommened! - My partner and I enjoyed this snorkel tour! Chuy, Captain Lalo and Angel were a great crew - very informative and we felt safe throughout the whole trip. Angel took really nice pictures and videos we just had to buy the video package. Our tour started promptly after getting our small group of 9 people together and testing our equipment before leaving the dock. We then visited all 4 spots listed and it all took about 2ish hours. Throughout the tour Chuy checked that we were all together before moving on to the next spot. We spent a little more time in the turtle and reef section than any others. We then headed back to the dock and waited for our transportation. There are bathrooms and showers at the dock. Would highly recommend!

Snorkeling tour only 2 hours - The staff was great, snorkeling was fantastic. Only issue was details of activity stated 4 hours we were only there for 2. Not sure if we were put on the incorrect tour, we ended up being taken privately which was fine, only issue again is we prepared for longer trip

So much amazing snorkeling!! Read my review for details you will find helpful. - This trip was run by Total Snorkel Cancun and the staff were incredible! Captain Emilio and guide Deisy were so knowledgeable and friendly. You should know the details of this trip, it is not a catamaran party boat it is a small boat just 8 people. It is a very personal experience and safe. You get a skilled guide who points out amazing marine life you may have missed. You are literally wet the whole time and go from one spot to the next in a few short minutes. I highly recommend wearing a swim shirt and swim shorts. They discourage applying sunscreen right before you leave the dock due the danger it causes the reef. Apply sunscreen before you leave your resort and wear clothing to cover your bum and back ladies!! There is a lot of swimming/snorkeling on this trip and when we went the seas were very rough and it was quite tiring. Some people were sea sick but the captain took them back to shore-he was very accomodating. You will visit 4 awesome spots but the best in my opinion was the eel grass beds where the sea turtles eat! Absolutely breathtaking to swim so close to a sea turtle. Our young photographer Manuel was incredible-he took the best photos of my daughter and I! I highly recommend purchasing your photos as the cost at the time we went was only $35 and you get all of them digitally! This was an exhausting but awesome experience!! My daughter was 16 and a strong swimmer-I would not take young kids on this trip with the rough seas.

Great snorkeling trip - Great first snorkeling tour for kids. Shout out to boat captain Emilio for helping my nervous 6 year old feel more comfortable and physically helping me back into the boat. We saw turtles, reefs, lots of cool stuff! It was nice to have a half day option too.

If you are interested in... - If you are interested in the statues, you will likely be disappointed. Only saw two under water statues. There is a lot of swimming involved which may be a deterrent for less skilled swimmers.

Total rip; beware. - We (5 adults) were so disappointed that the tour was cancelled at the last minute on a dubious excuse: “The port was closed.” No further explanation. I suspect that the operators did not fill the whole boat, so cancelled arbitrarily.
