Fish, turtles and surprise visit from a stingray - We did the 5 stop-cenote, coral reef, ship wreck, turtle and statue tour for $75 USD each plus $20 for the park. It was supposed to be in 9 ft of water so I figured we would be closer to the fish than the other tour that included 6 stops and deeper water. We saw so many fish and a large variety of fish.I was really impressed. The tour only had 8 people max so it was great, we weren’t swimming into each other. I would say you should be a good, confident swimmer because we swam a distance plus you also need to be strong to get up the ladder of the boat.

Awesome 1/3 day experience! - Kiki, Barracuda, and the photographer were fantastic! Saw 3 turtles. Enjoyed every stop, the crystal clear blue water, and the trip was the perfect amount of time. The pick up and drop off was seamless. I work in hospitality and transportation logistics for an outfitters in CO. Safe to say that these guys had it down with excellent communication, guest satisfaction, and safety procedures in place! Great experience all around. A highlight of our getaway. Thank you! - Hannah & Baker.

Great experience! - We had a great time on this tour! They picked us up at our hotel and we were able to see loads of fish and other aquatic life. My mom wears prescription glasses and they made sure she had a pair of goggles that worked for her! Highly recommend

Great semi private experience with some amazing people - We had great time with total snorkel. On time pickup and an almost semi private tour of 5 locations. Daisy made sure we had an amazing time and took time helping us explore the sites.

Excellent trip - Snorkeling was so much fun! The guide was extremely helpful and calm, captain Barracuda drove the boat well and they even had an extra guide to take GoPro photos and videos. We got fantastic footage with the turtles and the many colorful fish around the reef, museum and shipwreck.

disappointing - Apart from the fact that you are asked for tips at each stop, water tours are very short and disappointing.
The general organization is grounded, in charter mode.

Kind of disappointing - We were really looking forward to this turtle snorkeling experience, but unfortunately it was pretty disappointing.
First, we didn’t see a single turtle. I understand wildlife sightings aren’t guaranteed, but the whole excursion felt very unstructured. They basically dropped us off in the middle of the ocean and had us swim around on our own. You definitely need to be a strong swimmer because the water is deep and there isn’t much guidance. Since it’s so deep, it was also hard to see much of anything below.
The “cenote” portion was also not what we expected based on the photos and other reviews. It was essentially a large hole about 30 feet deep in the ocean. It didn’t resemble the beautiful cenotes shown in pictures, so that part felt misleading.
Getting in and out of the boat was also difficult and not very well assisted, which made the experience even more uncomfortable.
Overall, I’m honestly surprised by how positive many of the other reviews are. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to the expectations that were set.

Overbooked - We didn’t actually get to go because it was overbooked and they cancelled on us and when we got the refund it was less than what we had paid because of the exchange rate.
