The whole team went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. If you’re looking for a memorable adventure in the Riviera Maya, this tour is a must. Highly recommended! 🐢💙📸✨

Our guide Philaé is AMAZING, she loves her job, shares her passion with us, and her explanations were perfect! She even had a lovely gesture for my brother for his birthday (once again, a huge THANK YOU). Photographer Alan offers quality work; his photos allowed us to capture these wonderful moments. The only minor hiccup, which is not their fault, is that the lunch snack is a bit light for men who eat well. However, the food and drinks are of superb quality, and the three environments we visited were fantastic; thank you all again!
Hola Mélanie, Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé une si belle expérience avec Philaé et Alan. Merci également pour votre remarque concernant la collation, nous la prenons en compte. Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt 🌊✨ Valentina | Ocean Tours Mexico
Nils is a top guide for German-speaking vacationers. Everything is explained in detail and in a friendly manner. The transport was flawless. Unfortunately, it was very windy and there was a lot of seaweed, which made snorkeling not very good at all. We could barely make out a turtle through the stirred-up sand... but that was about it. The cenote was significantly more beautiful compared to snorkeling. Cool water and clear visibility, there were some fish and bats to see. Afterward, there was a snack and some non-alcoholic drinks. A tequila shot rounded off the lunch. There were no additional costs except for the tax of 20 USD per person. The photographer starts at 45 USD for one person (there were about 10 private pictures and the rest were filled with nice weather tour pictures). All in all, it's a shame about the weather; the rest was fine 👍🏻
Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre ausführliche und ehrliche Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie mit Nils als Reiseleiter und mit dem Transport so zufrieden waren. Ihre netten Worte werden wir sehr gerne an ihn weitergeben – er wird sich sicherlich darüber freuen. Es tut uns leid, dass die Wetterbedingungen, der starke Wind und das Seegras das Schnorchelerlebnis beeinträchtigt haben. Wir wissen, dass die Begegnung mit den Meeresschildkröten für viele Gäste ein besonderer Höhepunkt ist, und verstehen daher Ihre Enttäuschung sehr gut. Umso mehr freut es uns, dass Ihnen die Cenote mit ihrem klaren Wasser, den Fischen und Fledermäusen so gut gefallen hat und dass Sie den restlichen Tag genießen konnten. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und dafür, dass Sie trotz der schwierigen Bedingungen die positiven Seiten des Ausflugs hervorheben. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie bei einem zukünftigen Besuch erneut begrüßen zu dürfen – hoffentlich bei perfekten Bedingungen, damit Sie die Unterwasserwelt der Karibik in ihrer ganzen Schönheit erleben können. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für Ocean Tours Mexico entschieden haben! 🌊 Valentina | Ocean Tours
