One-day tour from Cancun to Tulum ruins, reef snorkeling, and cenote caves with pickup and lunch included, $35 tax extra.

“Pros and cons. On the positive side the guide was good and the variety of activities was good. We saw turtles coral stingrays and colourful fish. The photographs were nice and surprisingly we purchased the package (100 usd for 5 people and group shots) The cons. The timing was way off. We were told we would arrive in tulum about 9 (our pick up was 710) but arrived after 10 am. We were told by operator we would be back by 5 so we made dinner plans for 7. We arrived back after 7 pm. A second issue was how crowded the reef area was. We had about 15 people…”

“I had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with this company. The night before my snorkeling tour, they texted me saying the activity was cancelled due to “weather conditions” and offered either a refund or a different activity. I asked for a refund. A few hours later they messaged again saying suddenly there was an opening for a different time slot and I could go if I wanted. Then again they said the weather was bad and suggested I switch to another activity. I checked the alternative activities they offered on Viator, and both were listed at $49, which is $10 cheaper than what I originally paid for snorkeling. Naturally,…”

“The boating, snorkel, and island experience was good. The boat crew was amazing and friendly. But my largest complain is for the “SAT company”. Their communication and shuttle team is horrible. The pick up time initially gave a large window of 7am-9am. I spent a week messaging them every day asking for the time with no respond. In the middle of the night before, they decided to message me that pick up time is 9:05am with such a little notice. For the shuttle back, they were initially 30 minutes late. After the driver arrived, he had us sit in the shuttle for another 30 mins. We kept telling him that…”

Small-group snorkeling in Puerto Morelos on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, with wetsuits, gear, and two calm 45-minute reef swims.

“We had a fabulous tour with Marcos and Joel. This is a 'no frills' snorkeling tour - just two hours, a small boat, and expert guides to help you see the best of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. We saw tons of fish, including a giant barracuda. My wife was really keen to see sea turtles and the guides went out of their way to help spot one for us to check out. The tour is a quick 10 minute boat ride from Puerto Morelos, two 45 minute snorkeling sessions, and then 10 minutes back to the dock.
