Magical morning - The tour was wonderful for me and my teenage children. Santiago was the perfect guide: knowledgeable about the area, attentive to our needs (he takes nice photos!) and fluent in both Spanish and English. I highly recommend this activity with this company.

Outstanding Adventure - I wish I had the underwater camera shots developed yet because the ones posted don’t even do this justice! Absolutely breathtaking, the snorkeling is amazing, all the different fish swimming among you is like a slice of heaven. The tour guides are top notch, so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and FUN. The price point for this trip is beyond worth it. We talked to many couples who did this trips numerous times in one vacation. Highly, highly recommend!

Great experience! - It was a great experience! We were able to see several fish and swim through an arch. Our tour guide, Sebastian, was very knowledgeable and patient. We ended up spending the rest of the day in Mismaloya as it was a gorgeous day.
