A great snorkeling tour

Roberto and Elias were wonderful tour guides. Elias took us all around pelican rock and we saw so many cool fish. We got great pictures and I even got to swim next to sea lions. They toured us around lovers beach and divorce beach and the arch. It was super fun and they were really nice.

Bad Snorkel Experience

The tour appeared to be overbooked, with 18 guests, one captain, and one tour guide all boarding the boat. The space was extremely cramped—so much so that it was difficult for anyone to move comfortably. It felt like the boat should have been limited to around 16 passengers rather than 20. As we approached the snorkeling area, we were instructed to put on our gear, but the lack of space made this nearly impossible. Many guests had to wait for others to enter the water before they could even get ready, which significantly reduced our snorkeling time. While the fish and marine life were impressive, the overall snorkeling experience was disappointing. We were directed to swim in a tight circle around a rock and were not allowed to spread out or explore. There were multiple groups in the same small area, making it overcrowded and uncomfortable. At times, I had to actively avoid being kicked by the fins of the person in front of me due to how tightly we were packed together. Overall, this was a frustrating and poorly managed experience, and I would not recommend this tour company.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that all our boats operate under strict Port Authority regulations, and capacity limits are never exceeded. The maximum for this vessel is 16 passengers, plus captain and guide. We understand that space may have felt limited during certain moments, and we will review the flow of the activity to improve overall comfort. We’re glad you enjoyed the marine life and appreciate your comments.

Dismal experience at snorkeling time I was promised to take pictures during the activity and nothing was going on.

Excellent transportation Adolf the exceptional driver very friendly and very attentive to the needs of each fulfilling all our needs

Operator response

Gracias por compartir su experiencia y por reconocer el excelente servicio de transportación brindado por Adolfo; nos alegra saber que fue atento y profesional durante todo el recorrido. Lamentamos la confusión respecto a las fotografías del snorkel. En este tour, las fotos no se entregan de forma inmediata, ya que se envían posteriormente por correo electrónico al contacto proporcionado durante la reserva. Nos gustaría mucho revisar qué ocurrió en su caso, ya que puede tratarse de un error en el correo registrado o de un detalle operativo que necesitamos verificar. Le agradeceríamos que se comunicara directamente con Esperanzas Tours para poder validar la fecha de su tour y darle seguimiento puntual. Si por alguna razón las fotos no se hubieran tomado, con gusto investigaremos el motivo y buscaremos una solución adecuada. Apreciamos sinceramente sus comentarios; nos ayudan a mejorar y a aclarar cualquier malentendido para futuros visitantes.

Highly recommend

We were picked up directly from the resort and brought by comfortable van to the marina by Alain. He dropped us off early in town so that we could shop and nicely called us and when it was time for the boat. George was our boat driver and David our guide. David was great at explaining safety instructions and making sure everyone was able to see various fish. Highly recommend this activity
