First Snorkel Experience. - Lalo was the absolute coolest tour guide for our snorkeling trip! He was very kind to greet. During our snorkeling, he dove down to point out statues, a mine, a car, a loop ring, fish and checked to make sure we were close to him. We saw a shark, multiple stingrays, 2 barracudas, 3 turtles, groups of fish surrounding us, triggerfish, parrotfish. Most importantly, it was my partners first time snorkeling and she got seasick in the water. During rough waves and strong currents, he provided a life ring bouy for her. It was very kind and caring of him to help her continue her snorkeling experience. Thank you so much for recognizing that and helping out. Usually the water isnt rough like that but it was just bad luck at the time. During our break we had some watermelon and water which was nice. I wish the MUSA and the reef was much shallower so we could see the details of it since it’s 30 feet down. If thats priority, I strongly suggest scuba diving. Also, we werent allowed to wear sunscreen so I suggest wearing a longsleeve shirt to prevent being burned like I did. But regardless, it was crystal clear waters with abundant sea life swimming around. 🤿 Highly recommend this tour. Worth it!!

Amazing experience - DO IT!! - Awesome experience!!! Snorkeling guide Lalo, Scuba guide Lidia, and Captain Jose were THE BEST! They were excellent communicators preparing us for what to expect and offering clear instructions. They were knowledgeable, experienced and went above all felt very safe. We saw the underwater museum, sting rays, turtles, barracuda, a variety of colorful fish and a nurse shark. I’d definitely recommend and would go again! Tip: If you’re prone to motion sickness take Dramamine the night before and day of the excursion. It helped our group enjoy the experience more.

Brilliant experience seeing MUSA figures and coral reef - Really great experience doing the snorkelling tour with Lalo who was really friendly and professional. He helped highlight the spots on the tour and include participants of all abilities! Tour was good as you could spot lots from the surface. It was even better because I could free dive down a few metres to be closer to the exhibits

Good experience - They had very good masks for snorkeling. It was quite cold so we were supplied with swimming suits. The team took good care of us in general

NO SUNSCREEN ALLOWED - NOT EVEN MINERAL SUNSCREEN - SUNSCREEN EVEN REEF SAFE MINERAL SUNSCREEN IS FORBIDDEN You are not allowed to wear any type of sunscreen on this trip. I asked for a refund and had them turn the boat around and drop me off back in the marina because they insisted on forbidding me from putting on my “reef safe” sunscreen on the boat (which is not covered). You can enjoy the reef but prepare to be burned
