Alexis and Edgar took us out into the preserve. They were very careful to teach us how we can best respect this incredibly beautiful location. We were a big family (5 Kids 4 - 12) and they were very careful to make sure we were comfortable and swimming well, with diving rings for the ones who got tired. We learned to look for turtle signs and then got to see 4-6 of the big ones, mostly with remoras (sucker fish) attached to their shells. We also saw some stingrays before heading out to the coral reefs. Gorgeous reefs with sea fans, tubes, copious fish, and color. I've been to many places both snorkeling and scuba and this is an instant favorite. WORTH EVERY PENNY!Richard N

This snorkeling trip is a must do!!! Our tour guides, Fernando and Christain, made the trip especially amusing with an amazing chemistry, excellent humor, and exceptional personalities. In addition, the wildlife was incredible. We were able to spot and watch at least 6 turtles in addition to stingrays, incredibly bountiful fish, and even Brazilian long-nosed bats! Be aware that the last two excursions on this trip, the Akumal and the cenote, require you to wear a life jacket, and you will not actually snorkel in the cenote; however it is certainly one of the best parts. I cannot stress how worth it this tour was to me, in addition to it's superiority over the other snorkeling tours available in the area.
