“This is kind of a mixed review , due to there were a few bumps along the way. The side-by-side’s adventure was fun. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of mud, but we had a good time. I would prefer it if we were in the side-by-side a little longer. But my husband and I enjoyed taking turns driving the side-by-side and the beach they brought us to was beautiful. Note: bring tissue paper if you plan on using the bathroom as there was none there, which made it a little bit difficult lol. The cenote was a lot of fun too. The cool water was very refreshing! And we…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 545 reviews · from $159

Guides such as Derly and Kitson are praised for keeping the boat lively. Transport, gear, snacks, fruit, and national drinks are included.

“Family of 5 with 3 older teens. We had a blast! Kitson and his crew were very fun. The parasailing was the best part. Sharks were cool to see up close, way larger than I thought. Stingray (singular) was unimpressive. Guy holds it and swims it over your hands and back. Wanna really swim with stingrays, go to the Cayman’s. Snorkeling was cool too, they feed the fish to swarm the area. We had an awesome dance party on the way back. Like some reviews it is a lot of waiting or standing on the boat not doing “activities” but it’s also about the atmosphere, which was very fun.”
