Great Sites, Great Tour Guides

Wonderful experience with Carlos and Emilio! They adapted to the needs of our 7 year old and made sure everyone on the tour got to see the amazing ocean sights.

Bait and switch pick up points.

I did not go on the tour. I received confirmation of the reservation with time and place of pick up within 24 hours of departure. Wisest Tours changed the point of pickup saying my report was not on their pick up route. I would have had to pay for transportation to the closest pickup point. They would not let me cancel so I am out the cost of the trip.

Operator response

Hello Janet_G, We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced regarding the pick-up point for your snorkeling tour. We understand how frustrating it can be when plans change unexpectedly. Please allow us to clarify that there was no "bait and switch" involved. As part of our standard procedure, pick-up details, including time and location, are communicated via email to all our guests more than 24 hours before the activity. We make every effort to ensure clear communication and avoid any confusion regarding pick-up arrangements. Regarding your specific situation, we regret to hear that your resort was not listed on our pick-up route. In such cases and as described on the tour page, we do our best to accommodate our guests by arranging the closest meeting point possible for their convenience. However, we understand that you requested a change few hours before the pick-up time, and sadly, it was not possible to accommodate the change with that much time in advance. We deeply value your feedback and would like to address your concerns further. Please reach out to us directly so we can discuss possible solutions and ensure your satisfaction. Once again, we apologize for the disappointment you experienced and hope for the opportunity to make things right in the future. Warm regards,

too many parties invloved and no communication between them. Didn't show up on time and charged me extra at location leaving me with no option but pay.

Oscar was an amazing...

Oscar was an amazing guide! He helped me knock swimming with a sea turtle off my bucket list! My daughter was having some difficulty and Edwardo made sure to get her back on the boat and keep her comfortable. My only complaint is that I was never notified of a pick up time. If I hadn’t called and ask we would have missed our trip. It was very disappointing to think I would have missed such an opportunity due to lack of attention to detail.

A dangerous wasted day.

The sea was barren of fish. The tour group was overcrowded and therefore each site was in the proximity of other boats and snorkeling was dangerous and the water was too rough to see clearly. My worst Viator experience.

Operator response

Dear Philip, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We want to begin by expressing our deepest apologies for the disappointing experience you had during your tour. We understand your concerns regarding the wildlife sightings and the sea conditions. As much as we strive to provide incredible wildlife encounters, we must emphasize that we have no control over the behavior of wild animals or the abundance of marine life in the sea. Wildlife encounters are unpredictable, and despite our best efforts, there are times when sightings may be limited. Regarding the sea conditions, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our guests above all else. We fully respect and adhere to the guidance provided by local authorities regarding safety at sea. However, weather and sea conditions can change rapidly, and this can impact the clarity of the water and the overall snorkeling experience. Please be assured that the safety of our guests is of paramount importance, and our decision-making is always geared towards ensuring a secure and enjoyable outing. We regret to hear that the tour group felt overcrowded during your trip. We continuously monitor and manage group sizes to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all participants. We will take your feedback into account to further improve our arrangements and ensure that each site is not overcrowded, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Once again, we apologize for the disappointment you experienced. We value your feedback as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We are committed to continuously refining our services to deliver exceptional experiences to our guests. If you are open to giving us another opportunity in the future, we would love to welcome you back on one of our tours and provide an unforgettable experience that meets and exceeds your expectations. Best regards,

Great deal for a fun experience!

This experience definitely exceeded my expectations. Jesus and his colleague were great at leading the group and I felt safe under their guidance! Riding the speedboats was super fun and ending it with snorkeling was perfect. I honestly felt that the amount of time we had for snorkeling was sufficient for me. Overall, it was a great deal for a two hour trip!

Perfect for shorter, personalized tour

Our guide and boat captain were both amazing. My mom (72) was helped by the guide at all stops and guided her with an extra floatation device. We also had 10 & 12 year olds as well that had no issues. We didn't want the 'party boat' tour with our age range and number of guests and this was absolutely perfect for experience and time (3.5hrs). We will be back without question.

Operator response

We're thrilled to hear that our guide was able to provide you with a great experience! Our mission is to create unforgettable memories for our guests, and it sounds like we succeeded in your case. Hope to see you back again in Mexico very soon!

Fun with snorkels

We got picked up right on time at our hotel and arrived at the marina for our snorkel tour. We got our snorkel gear and a key to a locker. There were many signs posted explaining what to not bring on the boat. It was helpful so we didn't bring much with us. There were four stops on the tour. First was a reef area with lots of fish. Second was a turtle area where we saw three turtles. Next was a shipwreck with lots of fish. Finally was a cenote under the water. All of the stops were amazing, and the guides were so helpful. Once we got back, we showered and changed. When we were done, the attendant showed us the photos and videos from the tour. We also got a free welcome photo. The only thing that was a bit off was the length of time to board the transportation to return to our hotel. The five people in our group had to wait almost 30 minutes to get on the van to leave.

Great snorkel tour - couldn’t be happier

Great time in the water - very safe and a lot of fun. Angel and Eddy and El Capitan at the wheel were great. Swam next to a couple of turtles, hundreds if not thousands of fish. Favorites were all the fish by the sunken ship and on the reef. My wife and I had a great time - small group only 8 of us. Everything went very smoothly.
