The snorkeling trip with the guys from Snorkeling Adventures was by far the highlight of my trip to Cancun. If you want great snorkeling don't be lead into snorkeling with any other company and these are the reasons why. The first reason is the location. It is as authentic and secluded as it gets. The main beach is hidden on an island in a protected national park with no one else around. It is located in Porto Morelos which is directly in the middle between Cancun and Cozumel. The tour supplies all the equipment and takes you on a boat with 8 people to do 3 dives. All are within the 2 largest barrier reef in the world and the water clarity and fish abundance is truly amazing for someone who has never been snorkelings. The trip consist of 2 dives in water about 7-8ft deep and then a huge buffet with all you can drink. After lunch you do a nice deep water dive. This is around 15-35 ft deep and as clear as faucet water. The tour guides come out and dive with you making the experience safe and fun so make you tip well, it goes a long way for them

Snorkeling Adventure has already received several good reviews here, and I heartily concur. They do a good job and deliver three snorkeling outings: Two 45 minute outings at a shallow and then a deep spot, and then a break, and then a final 45 minute outing at the shallow spot. In between there's a decent meal, and a nice place to relax and put your stuff. The reefs are good quality and the snorkeling is good; just try to go on a calm day if possible.

The guides are very nice and friendly. No scamming or trying to sell you pictures. Avoid Isla Mujeres and Dolphin Discovery, which also offers snorkeling; if you visit both Isla Mujeres and Snorkeling Adventure, as we did, you'll see a huge difference. It's good we did Isla last, because had we done it first, we would likely not have tried Snorkeling Adventure.

We went to Cancun in February and had a blast! What a great place to escape! The people are friendly and the snorkeling adventure with John was awesome! Except of course my husband drank too much tequila with our hosts and was so sick the next day! Definetly recommend it ! Also go to Chi Chi Niza for some real culture! What an absolutely awesome experience from start to finish!! Kirsten & Brad

"Good fun, Good food,and Good snorkeling" is what they promise you and they deliver. The snorkeling is just great, far better then Isla Mujeres. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, they doubled as tour guides, hosts and cooks. Would book with them again in the future and would recommend to anyone I know. We booked our tour through Apple Vacations in our hotel, they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, no taxis, no buses. It was great.
