Coral Reef Snorkeling with Lunch and Roundtrip Transportation in Puerto Morelos

The experience was amazing. Juan was an excellent tour guide and made sure everyone was okay and getting a wonderful experience. As a non-swimmer I had a great time.

The snorkel excursion was a fun side trip for my teens and me. The location is right on the beach on Puerto Morelos with the boat moored right on the beach. Short trip to the area to snorkel, we spent about 45 minutes in the water in two locations. Headed back to shore for a quick walk down the street and then a lunch at the hotel where the snorkel home base is located. There was a bit of waiting around which wasn't ideal after the snorkeling was done, lunch was simple tacos included in price for excursion but drinks were not. I would have figured that at least a bottle of water would be included with the meal.

The staff was great and very friendly. The reefs however weren’t much to look at. The water was decent but there was a bit of seaweed. I wish we would have known that we can’t take our GoPro! We bought one just for this trip and it wasn’t allowed. The lunch was good, but only tacos are included.

Amazing group !! Highly recommend them very friendly and cheerful 😀 took us through a walk in town which was a perk and definitely purchase the paparazzi photos which captured precious moments.

Communication could have been better and pickup was a little disorganized and so we almost missed it and van was old, super hot and in poor condition. Staff at the snorkeling place were helpful and kind with my kids which was great, especially since my youngest ended up not liking it and went back to the boat right away. Got to see a sea turtle, manta ray and cool fish. Overall worth the trip but was annoyed by the fact that they told me it was "bad for the reef" to take my cell phone in a waterproof case around my neck with us. I put it in the locker out of respect for the reef but realized it was a lie when they then tried to sell us pictures they took of us snorkeling for $50!! Total scam/rip-off. Wish I had ignored him and taken my phone anyway because now we have no pictures of the experience. Lesson learned.

Let me start off by saying that the Snorkeling itself was only part of the issue. The Tour Clearly states that it goes to 2 spots for 40 minutes each. Unfortunately, we only went to one spot for about 55 minutes. While it was longer than 40 minutes it certainly wasnt 80 minutes. Another person on the tour get very upset and eventually they gave in for him for a very short other site literally 10 minutes. The big problem was with the transportation provided. On the way from our resort, we had to stop at another resort and pick up another group of people for another tour. The Resort was about 15 minutes out of the way. It also took like 10 more minutes for the people to be found and get on the van. After picking them up we had to go to a Seven Eleven Store and wait until someone else came to pick them up. We waited over 30 minutes then finally went to Puerto Morelos. It literally took over an additional hour to get to the tour. The drive back was far worse. We waited 40 minutes for the driver after the tour and lunch ended. When he got there we went to the same Seven Eleven Store. We waited 20 minutes at the Seven Eleven and then were told to go into a different Van. We then waited 40 more minutes for the same people that we had picked up earlier. By the time they got there and we finally dropped them off, our ride back to Puerto Aventuras took a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes to get to a place 45 minutes away. This was an awful experience and ruined our day. We were picked up at 11:30am and arrived back at our Resort at 6:40pm. We Snorkeled for 55 Minutes, had a 30 minute lunch and the travel took basically 5.5 Hours for what should have been 1.5 hours. This review isn't exaggerated or biased, completely truthful and horrid experience!

We were very disappointed with our snorkeling trip. Our guide didn't know anything about the fish and corals we were taken out to see and the equipment we were given to use did not all fit properly and made the time in the water quite uncomfortable. After we got back from the water, we had a lunch and a brief walk around the town. After that, we waited 1-1/2 hours for the van to come pick up us, getting us back to our hotel very late. All in all, we were displeased with the tour and would not recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful tour. Our guides Oscar and Eddy were very knowledgeable and attentive. They showed us excellent places on the reef in Puerto Morelos. Will recommend this tour many times!.

Great experience. Snorkeling was awesome and I learned a lot about Mexico. Great guide.

Prepared to accommodate snorkelers of all levels, this team made the experience as enjoyable and safe as possible for our ability. The tour afterward and the lunch were satisfying as well. English was on point.
