Not the best for snorkeling side
The pick up spot was fine, the contact people were at the location, but the snorkeling was not that great, the tour guide was a little pushy, not very friendly and almost demanding. Did not give us the freedom to swim at all without a lifejacket on so you could not dive down and look at the coral or fish anything other than floating on the top. The one highlight was that we saw a sea turtle.
Response from the operator: Hello. We are sorry we did not meet your expectations. We are a company that loves what we do and strives to protect marine life as much as possible; consequently, we comply with Port Authority regulations requiring the use of life jackets throughout the tour—both for your safety and for the protection of the coral. If you dive too deep, you risk damaging coral that cannot regenerate, resulting in a loss for our reef.

Great day out.
Excellent service. Private trip. Great guide. Good value for money. Saw turtle and stingray. Got free use of kayaks and paddle boards. Free sun beds and a free drink. Also got free photos and videos all for $45 per person.

Snorkeling & pictures
The guide was very attentive and personable. Unfortunately, the water was very murky for snorkeling 🥺 -- mother nature 🤷♀️. Snorkeling and fins were provided. Communication was great!!! FREE Gopro underwater pictures sent to us within hours. What a bonus!!!! Thank you!

Gear trip, would go again
Guillermo was a great tour guide. We took a boat out to a reef. Guillermo made sure we got to see great fish, stingrays and the reef. Once back to land we were met with fresh pineapple and coke, that came with our tickets. We spent the rest of the day at the beach for no extra charge. Highly recommended!

Fun in the sun with lots of fish
Easy to communicate, nice & safe. Fun catching fish. I caught 2 with some help. They baited the hooks and they drove the boat while we troll fished. They will cook what you catch

Why this scores 86

Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid cost?
+
Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Costa Maya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Costa Maya is not rushed.
Is Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 176 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Costa Maya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid?
+
Around 62 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Costa Maya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Costa Maya and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkel Tour on the Costa Maya with experienced Guid start and how do I get there?
+

What are the best things to do in Costa Maya?
+
On Outty we rank every Costa Maya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya, Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip, Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from Costa Maya. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Costa Maya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Costa Maya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
