Our guide was Carlos. He was very friendly, helpful a d punctual. While my son and I were swimming with turkeys, he took really nice videos and photos. When I had a problem with my GoPro, he was very patient and helpful. We were able to fix the problem and capture the beautiful memories of a cesote visit. I highly recommend this tour and the guide, Carlos.

Carlos was very respectful, patient, and polite. My family and I booked a tour with him to swim with the turtles in Riviera Maya and it was a very educational ride to the snorkeling site. He talked about the turtles and their habitat, the season and what brings the turtles to the bay and where we can find them. We learned a lot! My kids and I were very amused! On the way home, my mom wanted some fresh fruit from the local farmers market and Carlos took us into the inner city where we can buy fruits. We all got a chance to get off the resort and see the inner city of Mexico and how the buildings and streets looked like. I felt very safe. I very impressed with this tour and how respectful, polite, and educational Carlos was with us. This excursion was my favorite of our Mexico trip and I highly recommended Carlos and his tours! 5 STARS! ✨✨✨

A fantastic couple of hours on a private tour swimming with sea turtles in Akumal bay. Carlos was friendly & helpful and at all times made sure I felt safe and secure. He gave me lots of information about the turtles both before and after the snorkeling and I got to see the turtles in their natural habitat which was amazing! Thank you Carlos and I would definitely do this tour again!
