our guide Nadia sorted everything for us and a whole school of parrotfish was the highlight, and blew our Dubrovnik one out of the water.

our guide Zara was nice enough, but the cenote that was freezing but unreal felt a bit rushed honestly. Last day of the trip. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, saw turtles and 20+ fish easy. Bit disappointed ngl, a good hour in the water.

our guide Jonas really knew their stuff and the cenote that was freezing but unreal was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the snorkel trip we did in cape town last year, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and saw turtles and 20+ fish easy. Would book again no question.
