The great snorkeling adventure at the Riviera Maya private tour

Unique adventure! Beautiful!!

Axel was a great guide! We were worried about a company that would be responsible towards nature. He was really into preserving nature and passing on information He made the whole day be an unforgettable experience The 3 places we went to were unique and very different, with lots of different things to see The lunch we had in a local restaurant was very good, that type of food that feels like hug I will recommend them! 10 stars!!

Response from the operator: Reading your words fills our hearts with immense joy. Knowing that you were able to connect with nature, with the energy of each place, and with the essence of this experience means so much to us. More than tours, we believe in creating experiences that stay in the soul. That’s why we consider ourselves “anti-tour,” because we are not simply trying to take people from one place to another… we seek to create spaces where you can truly feel, breathe, reconnect with something deeper, and become emotionally moved. Every cenote, every path, and every moment was carefully chosen to transmit that magic, that mysticism, and that ancestral energy that still lives within these hidden corners of Mexico. And knowing that you were able to feel it makes everything meaningful for us. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you on such a special journey, for opening your hearts to this adventure, and for valuing nature with such respect. People like you make every experience unique and unforgettable for us as well. We hope the energy of this day continues to stay with you even after you return home, like a living memory reminding you that there are still places and moments in this world capable of touching the soul.

Stellar Experience

Our group of 6 (3 teens and 3 adults) had a wonderful experience on The Riviera Maya Wildlife Experience. They customized the day to meet our interests and were very flexible when our needs changed. Axel and Marvis picked us up from our resort in a very comfortable and well maintained shuttle van. The day began with a private boat ride to the Puerto Morelos Coral Reef National Park. It is very close to shore, so my worries about motion sickness were not realized. We did two 30-minute snorkels and it was amazing! We saw 2 sea turtles, several rays, a barracuda, and many tropical cal fish. The local expert was very kind and helpful. Back in the van, we enjoyed a snack and refreshements. We were then transported to Toolok Kaa’n, a local wildlife conservation sanctuary, specializing in reptiles. We enjoyed the hands on experience with iguanas, crocodiles, turtles, and snakes. Maestro Ken and volunteer Heidi were great guides. We then got back in the van to drive through a Mayan community to a protected cenote. We had a private refreshing swim in the beautiful clear water surrounded by jungle. We had the opportunity to kayak the other larger cenote onsite, but we were ready for lunch after our adventures. Instead of heading back to Puerto Morelos for fish tacos, Axel recommended a local Mayan barbecue, Restaurante La Pimienta. We all had a plates of ribs with rice, beans, tortillas, cucumbers, and tomatoes. It was a fantastic meal. We felt safe, comfortable, and confident with Axel guiding us and Marvis doing the driving. Axel was very knowledgeable, kind, and fun. Everyone really enjoyed the day. I would absolutely do another tour with Jaguar Journey

Response from the operator: How beautiful it is to read you… your message doesn’t just describe a day, it brings it back to life. Thank you for trusting us to create a space where every member of your group—no matter their age—could connect, discover, and enjoy at their own pace. It truly means a lot to know that the sea, the jungle, and those special encounters with wildlife felt authentic, close, and memorable. Every moment you mention the silence of the reef, the curious gaze in front of the reptiles, the refreshing hidden cenote, and that shared table at the end of the journey are part of what we seek to create: experiences lived without rush, far from the crowds, in places that still preserve their essence. And also a wonderful opportunity to have met Maestro Ken.

Oh, it's such a perfect day. I'm glad I spent it with you.

The day was perfect, from start to end. We enjoyed our snorkeling adventure with Axel and Marvis. While we were in Mexico for only 5 days, this day of splendour and adventure will make up most of my memories of this trip. Trust, passion, gentle, thoughtful, heart-felt, joyous. This is what we were looking for and certainly found it in Jaguar Journey and in this expertly guided tour. Also, Nizvan's communications set the tone perfectly - what you see is what you get, in spades! Gracias, amigos. p.s. too busy enjoying, I don't have photos of our day. Only amazing memories.

Response from the operator: Reading your words is like walking that day again alongside you. We can feel once more the sparkle of the sea, the calm of the water, and the simple joy of sharing a moment that becomes eternal when it is lived with an open heart. My name is Nizvan, and I would like to tell you something very personal. From the very first moment I write to someone, my greatest wish is that they can feel who we truly are. We are not trying to sell a tour… we are trying to open a door to a real experience. That is why we try to make everything clear, honest, and transparent from the very beginning: no tourist traps, no hidden prices, no empty promises. Only what comes from the heart. Reading that my words were able to convey that means so much to me. In fact, very rarely does someone mention my communication or my work through this medium, and the fact that you did is something I thank you for with all my soul. Thank you for seeing that invisible part of the journey, the one that begins even before the trip itself starts. When we created Jaguar Journey, we dreamed of something more than a travel company. We wanted to create a small community of people who love discovering the world with respect, curiosity, and joy. And now let me ask you something… Do you realize what has happened? You are now part of the Jaguar Journey tribe. Thank you for trusting us, for sharing this moment with us, and for taking with you a small piece of this adventure. Thank you, friends… from the bottom of our hearts

Private catamaran tour Isla Mujeres

We had an incredible experience with Axel and Marcus from Jaguar Journeys! They arranged our private boat tour to Isla Mujeres in Cancun, and everything was absolutely perfect. We were celebrating a birthday, and they went above and beyond by decorating the van—such a thoughtful touch that made the day feel extra special. Their service was professional and prompt. They picked us up from our hotel right on time, and the van was new, clean, air-conditioned, and very comfortable. Axel and Marcus were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Jaguar Journeys for a private catamaran tour in Cancun. These guys are awesome!

Response from the operator: Thank you endlessly for opening your hearts and for trusting Jaguar Journey to celebrate such a meaningful moment. Sharing this birthday with you was a gift for us. Every smile, every surprise, and every detail prepared with intention—from the van to the journey across the sea—was born from the desire to honor your celebration and walk alongside you on a day that truly deserved to be unique. For Axel and Marvis, this is not just about organizing a tour, but about creating a memory that can be felt, that endures, and that touches the soul. Reading your words confirms that the path we have chosen is the right one. May the energy of the sea and the joy experienced in Isla Mujeres continue to accompany you long after the journey ends. From this moment on, you are part of the Jaguar Journey family—a bond that transcends time and distance. With grateful hearts,

AMAZING!!! Jaguar Journey provided our family of 5 (kids ages 14, 12, & 6) with the absolute highlights of our trip. Axel and his team are amazing, so we booked this excursion at the last minute and it was fantastic. We spent the entire day exploring Cozumel and saw so much more than the standard tourist spots. Once again, we appreciated Axel’s depth of knowledge of Mayan history as he took us to the ruins on the island. But we also loved that he knew where to take us off the beaten path to experience genuine Mexican culture and the best food. Finally, we had the most amazing private snorkeling experience, which was by far, one of our favorite memories. Along the way, Axel was constantly attentive, engaging, and a gracious host. Axel was meant for this job – he clearly loves working with people and loves sharing his passion about history and culture. My kids thought he was the best, and it truly feels like we have a new friend in Mexico. We ultimately booked 2 additional excursions with him during our time in Mexico (posted in separate reviews). All 3 days were the highlights of our trip!

Response from the operator: What a joy to read your words! It fills our hearts to know that your family lived such special moments and that every experience with Axel was more than just a tour — it was a deep connection with the history, culture, and living essence of Mexico. We always strive to offer a mystical connection with every place we visit. Axel will be so happy to know how much you enjoyed it — he puts his soul into every experience, wishing that each traveler feels not only the beauty of the places but also the human warmth that makes them unique. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to share your experience. Your words are immensely valuable to us, because they remind us that what we do goes beyond tourism: it’s about creating bonds, awakening emotions, and gifting memories that stay in the soul. Thank you for trusting Jaguar Journey to live these family adventures with us. Messages like yours inspire us to keep creating magical days filled with history, smiles, and moments that are never forgotten. Muchas gracias amigos.
