Great for older kids - It was awesome to see a sea turtle. We saw many fish and some coral as well. My older kids loved it! (10 and 12) my youngest- it was a little much for her (7). I don’t blame this on the tour. The guide was very helpful and accommodating. Also, at the beginning of the tour there could have been more instructions about when to change, and what was happening when. This tour has a lot of swimming in comparison to other snorkel tours I’ve done.

Awesome Tour, Amazing Guides - Super incredible guides and instructors. I wasn't a very confident swimmer when booking the tour but I did so as a way to face my fears (no, I never claimed to be smart.) The guides were very patient with me and very supportive. They are all wonderful people who make sure your safety and enjoyment as their ultimate priority. We saw so many cool things on the tour. I unfortunately started to feel ill towards the end, but they helped me get back to the boat very quickly and did what they could to help me feel better. Our first date got cancelled due to forecast calling for bad weather but upon calling them, we got it rescheduled no problem. So long as you stay in contact with them and be kind, remembering that they are also human beings you shouldn't have any issues. They got so many cool photos and videos, we opted to get our photos at the end and I'm glad we did. I'm a professional photographer and I can say with confidence that the woman doing the photos is incredible at her job. They're constantly checking on you and making sure you're having a good time. If you come to Cancun, you need to do this tour, plain and simple. Just check the weather forecasts first and plan accordingly!

Wonderful excursion with a friendly team - This was a great excursion. We were picked up at the hotel on time without any fuss. Once at the port, we were given equipment and had a little test run at the harbour. The team then took us out to visit a cenote, underwater museum, sea turtles and a shipwreck, all as described. The guide Carlos was great showing us around and explaining. My partner is not a very confident swimmer in open waters and Carlos let her hold onto a lifebuoy while he pulled it, which made the experienceso much better for her. We got to see so many turtles! The captain Fernando was very friendly and helpful as well. All in all this is a tour I can highly recommend.

Very Disappointed - Received notification that we would be picked up at 10:40; asked to be waiting 10 min early. We were waiting in the lobby for 45 min and no ride in sight. I reached out to the tour operator and was notified at that point that the port authorities had cancelled all tours first thing in the morning, but they could accommodate that afternoon. If that were the truth, there is no excuse for us not being notified and left waiting for a ride that was not coming. We went to a tour company located in our resort who looked it up on his phone, & the port was not closed. Their company was operating business as usual. This made matters worse. Had the tour operator been honest with us from the start, and told us whatever the true reason was for cancelling our tour, we could have been more understanding, however dishonesty is never acceptable. Really disappointed because our family was looking forward to the trip.

DO NOT BOOK WITH VIATOR/Marriott Bonvoy/Shore Excursions!!! - Do NOT book with Viator/Marriott Bonvoy/ Shore Excursions! My family and I made a reservation and were really looking forward to our adventure. We received an email with confirmation (under our 7 year old sons name) with the pickup time. The morning of we sat and waited... and waited... and waited... nobody responded to emails or phone calls. Eventually, we were informed that the trip was canceled! Will you tell your paying customers about cancellations? We wasted hours of our vacation time and got a refund. Horrendous customer service!
