This tour is worth every penny. Jorge was the most amazing guide. He made sure we were always having fun and comfortable in each section of the tour. At one point when we were snorkeling he noticed a member of our group struggling to swim so he pulled her all the way through the wavey waters with a life saver. Still making sure we were all doing okay ourselves and making sure we were all able to see the turtles, sting rays and fish which were all over the place. I know Jorge had to be so tired by the end of that part because a lot of us were and he had to pull another persons weight almost the entire time. The very last section of the tour was my favorite. I would do this entire tour again but definitely because of the last part. The caves blew my might at how cool is was. Then we got fed this delicious meal at the very end. It really was a perfect day. Book this tour. It is worth it.

On our way back we will stop at two very fun snorkeling spots where enchantingly colorful fish mingle with an old shipwreck and coral formations. We continue to a sand bank with endless shallow water and stop to make our best vacation pictures.

An absolute rip off, Staff was rude and non cooperative & disappeared most of the times, ATV ride was for only ten minutes & Cenote time was only half an hour that is not good enough for people who spend thousands of dollars for trip to Cancun to enjoy their holidays. The only thing worth was zip lining. Lastly food was at a newly opened strip snack bar kind of place with worse fois I’ve ever hadn’t Sorry a big NO from my side.
