“We had a lovely experience! We booked two to a jet-ski, my partner and I on one, and my parents on another. The event description had all relevant information, easily laying out what was included and what was not in clear language, where to go and when. Our check in host discussed options for our excursion, as we were traveling during the seaweed season and their usual snorkel option was overgrown. He offered us an alternative, and it was amazing! Our guide Manuel was friendly, helpful, and took us to some amazing spots. My only quibble would be that we would have liked more time at the blue water, and…”

“We are so glad we did this excursion on our trip! It was cheaper and better than what was offered at our resort. The staff was all super friendly and accommodating. The marina was much closer to our hotel than on past excursions, giving us plenty of time to get back and have dinner. I'm not sure about the reviews calling it a scam. They were up front about hotel pick-up time and were available via live chat when the driver was a few minutes behind schedule. This was a very fun trip, and we would gladly book with total snorkel again!”

“The review ask to upload photos but you CAN'T. They don't advertise or let you know you can't use your phone until the day of. You have to leave it in their wonky wooden lockers, with $15 usd deposit to use it. If you don't have them you'll need to leave your ID with them. No they will not use your credit card as a hold. Their $15 usd "dock fee" is also bogus. They charge your card $15 used or 300 pesos and usually the bank does the best exchange rate for you. Amex was doing around 19.15-19.19 depending on the day. So around 16/17 for said docking fee.…”
