Snorkeling itself was really fun! We visited 3 spots - two of them about 3-4 meters deep. One was a “standing” spot. Water was very clear - you could see everything. We saw a turtle, many starfish, a small shark. Our tour guide was able to lure the stingray family with a fish he held in his hand - that was really nice! Keep in mind that you cannot bring/use sunscreen (even reef safe apparently). You must instead bring a proper water shirt/shorts and a hat. You will burn. Food was provided at a local restaurant. The only downside of the experience is getting there. In our case, our transportation for hotel in north playa del Carmen arrived 30 min late. But the tour Guide directed us to take another ferry to Cozumel (30 min ride, ferry leaves every 1 hr). We were reimbursed for the ferry. Seemingly we finished the whole tour. We might have missed another stop (did only 3 instead of 4 snorkeling locations). Tour guide helped us get in and get back. Bottom line though - I don’t think it’s worth $350 for two ppl. I’d pay a $100 for this tour easy. But who knew.
The tour only includes 3 snorkeling spots, that is well described at the description of the tour You did not missed anything We are happy that you enjoyed the tour on it's entirety
This day felt very frantic and disorganized. The people were all nice, but we were rushed and yet were waiting a lot. It was really 2 snorkel locations, not 4. One was coral and one was over sand. The 3rd stop was hanging out on a beach and they had taken our snorkels by then. It was a hard day with kids. There was no jr sized snorkel which was hard for my 11 year old.
There was no rush at all, the instructions were given clearly by the guides in regards of the time frames of each stop There isn't any mention at the product description about 4 snorkel spots being included, there are only 3 The reefs and the beach The snorkel gear is suited for all ages, however, you refused to follow the usage instructions and failed to adjust the masks
