Our adventure was to snorkel for an hour and a half, tequila tasting, shopping in the town., as well as transportation and taco lunch. We scheduled it for the noon time frame. We were told they would pick us up 12:30+12:35. They arrived at 12:20. Fortunately we were already waiting. This however was not the case for another larger group, who was going to a different activity. We ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes for these people to show.
Once we arrived at the shop, we were brought to a waiting area, which was humid and uncomfortable. Our tour stated that it was a maximum of 14 people. Our initial group had that many waiting around. However, we ended up having to wait there until about 3, maybe 3:15. More people showed up. By then we had about 23 people.
We were given our gear and explained we would finally be leaving, Freida then started rushing us as if we were the late ones, being rude and even yelling.
We were taken across the street, then had to walk down the beach to where the boat was…no big deal, however the amount of seaweed we had to walk across and wade through was disgusting. If I had know this I would have worn water shoes. Advice if you do choose this adventure don’t bring any towels or backpacks. We had to carry all that through the waist high water to the boat.
Once on the boat we went to the reef area to snorkel. I’m a strong swimmer and did fine. Others didn’t do to well. After only about an hour we told we had to head back. So much for an hour and 20 minutes. The showered to rinse off in were barely a drizzle of water. Then lunch, it was waiting for us when we got there and the tacos were pretty good. Originally we were to leave and at 6:30. They changed our time to 5:30 because of traffic, they DID NOT offer a tequila tasting , and we only had 15-20 minutes to explore the town.
The transportation had to go grab the other group who once again were late. Waited another 10 minutes for them.
So our 3 -4 hour day was from 12:20- 7:10pm and only had an hour to snorkel and 15 min of shopping and a couple of tacos. The majority of the day was spent sitting around waiting.
We do not recommend this tour unless you want to sit around all day waiting. On our last dat we missed out on sun, and fun!
