Reef Snorkel in Puerto Morelos With Lunch And Transportation

Great tour but too much down time at end

Loved the snorkeling- picked up on time from hotel- Charlie Brown and frank were most organized crew. All had to attend tequila tasting- not in original plans. Lunch was just ok because tacos were cold and only allowed to stop at “authorized store” on way to lunch. After lunch had to sit there for at least 45 min to an hour before van picked us up.

Response from the operator: Hi Michelle, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the snorkeling and that Charlie Brown, Frank, and the crew provided an organized experience. The tequila tasting is part of the scheduled experience, but we understand that it may not be something every guest is interested in. We also appreciate your comments regarding the transportation schedule and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve the overall experience. We hope the beautiful snorkeling experience remains a highlight of your day with us!

Reef Snorkel in Port Morelos

We went on the snorkel with lunch tour in May. The transportation was on time and after picking up several people we arrived at the location in Port Morelos. The first thing we did was get in line to pay the dock fee of $15 per person. Then we moved to the next kiosk and we were asked to pay for the VIP package. This included a VIP snorkeling experience with smaller group size and 4 tacos at lunch instead of three for $110. We declined. Our group ended up with 13 people and it was fine. The snorkeling was fine and our leader Frank was great. We were not allowed to snorkel on our own but had to follow the guide in a line. We would have enjoyed it more if we could have explored the reef but those are the rules apparently. We were not allowed to bring our phones or anything on the boat. They had someone take pictures and we could buy them at the end for $60. We declined. After the snorkel we were able to shower and change and we were directed to a tequila tasting room. This was never mentioned in the description when we booked the tour. If it had been we would have booked something else because we don't drink and we opted to not attend the tasting. Because we declined they asked us to fill out a form and sign it explaining why we didn't want to go to the tasting. We thought that was kind of weird. Next we had to walk through a gauntlet of shops where people were selling their trinkets and souvenirs. We kept walking to the end of the street where we got in a van and went to the lunch location. The tacos were included but any drinks we had to pay for. The tacos were fried fish or fried chicken and were OK. This tour could have been better with out all the up charges and having to stay in a line for the snorkel The guide were great, nice and friendly and there is nothing negative about them. Be advised there is tequila tasting which is not advertised on this site. Also why can't the tour we bought be a VIP Tour? Why try to upcharge us immediately? If there was a VIP tour option they should advertise it here and not tell us upon arrival and try to rush us into a decision.

Guide Carlos was great, snorkeling ok

Pick up was right on time at our Cancún hotel and as expected multiple other hotel stops to pick up other adventurers. Our guide Carlos was great and clearly explained reef ecology and safety steps. Modern Boat ride to reef was smooth and each participant was given new in the wrapper snorkels. Snorkeling was so-so as we had to cater to “weakest link” in the chain theory. We had multiple young kids on trip and strong currents. Carlos played it safe and towed the kids using a life preserver. We followed a designated reef course that was not very exciting. Water was not very clear - not their fault- but we and 3-4 other tour companies were on same reef. Nothing like the solitude of diving with 30 of your best friends. Tequila tasting after was fun and educational. Bring money y To buy some great tequila if you’re inclined to. The snack after tequila was more like lunch. 3 taco plates served to everyone. THEN we were taken to the town of puerto morales and dropped off to shop at souvenir stores. Could have done without this extra 45 min excursion. Finally, wait for transport back to hotel was another 40 min. Overall a good experience and would recommend for families and beginners

Mixed

Started a little sketchy when we were asked to shower per national park rules. But was ok. Guides were great. Equipment was ok. The boat was fine. Only complaint was the restaurant they took us too was terrible. Deep fried chicken tenders or fish tacos and both were horrible. Really they just walk you there to sell photo package from tour. There was tequila tasting when we returned to outfitter. I would have rather spent that time exploring the town and shops.
