This trip is highly recommended. My wife and I were staying in Sayulita and met with the tour operators and driver right off the town square across from Coco Banana. The van ride to the marina was about 20 minutes. The boat/catamaran was awesome! Came with a lower and upper deck, two water slides from the top deck, a couple hammocks and comfy seating all around. The service and crew were top notch. Everyone was polite, funny and welcoming. They started off serving us fruit, pastries and whatever you wanted to drink for breakfast (alcohol or nonalcoholic) and provided nonstop fun and service the whole way to the islands. Once you get to the islands, you are transported in a smaller boat to an area where it is safe to swim to the islands themselves where you you can get some amazing pictures and see sights not many will ever experience. The ride back is just as fun, if not more so. You continue with as many drinks as you'd like. We had fajitas for lunch, which were delicious, and we did a bit of fishing off the back on the way home. Overall 6 outta 5 rating. Love these folks and will definitely be back for more tours

Wild Mex is the best surf camp in Sayulita / Punta Mita area and I took lessons from 4 places over 1.5 months. They are professional, affordable, and the teachers are top notch. I am intermediate and my girlfriend is a beginner, and we both had great lessons. Octavio was our absolute favorite instructor. He was a great surfer but more importantly a great teacher who gave perfect advice and knew how to push you more or less based on your desired experience. Request him if you visit!

Despite some rough seas and murky water, we still had a great time exploring with the Sayulita Entourage team. Our dive master (Jamie) was fantastic - we all felt safe the entire time, and the boat crew was excellent as well, even letting one of us borrow a thermal layer for the second dive after getting cold during the first dive.

Every year around the end of November till the beginning of April we are honored to welcome the Humpback whale in our area. Once the water temperature changes, they come down with the colder currents from Alaska to mate and raise their babies. These incredible animals that can grow up to 52 ft are an absolute must see for nature lovers. Let these giants surprise you when they come to greet us peacefully; enjoy playtime of the newborn calves: a spectacular water show with turns and jumps guaranteed! Be stunned by their enchanting song, which can last up to 20 min and can be repeated for hours…

Nouschka was an amazing guide. Very fun dive. Enjoyable day. She was lighthearted and fun and reminded us of all of the safety and proper techniques to dive since we were new to it and just got certified. Would definitely go back with her and highly recommend!

Eteban, was such a pleasure to work with. He ensured not only our transportation from to airport to the hotel was taken care of as well as getting us back to the airport the day of departure. He also got with us on day 1 to plan and schedule all the excursions and adventures my family and I wanted to do. We were able to get them scheduled with discounts. He was quite helpful. On one of our days we left some items in a taxi and didn't realize it before they left. Esteban went above and beyond to assist and help in identifying the Taxi and communicating with his local contacts to get our items delivered back to our hotel. I didn't think we would get those items back. He was essential in an awesome trip and such a friendly helpful gentleman. We would use him and Gray Lines again anytime.

This was an absolutely must-do in Cancun, really authentic delicious tacos I wouldn’t have tried without this tour. Luis was an awesome guide and I’d highly recommend! Also a great deal for the money!! I was stuffed by the end of the day evening, even went back to one place the next day. Highly recommend!!
