    Reviews With Photos - Island Adventures Mexico

    The tour was good and the boat crew was fantastic. Just be careful of their pricing. The gentleman who sold us the tour discounted it down for us telling us that he was giving us a discount because we were the last couple they needed to complete a boat of 10. The gentleman gave us the receipt below and took a $500 MEX peso deposit showing us that we would need to pay $1,400 the next day when we arrived. We got there at 8am and paid the $1,400 pesos. We had a great tour! BUT when we got back the guy from the morning (a different one that the one who sold us the tour) was there asking us to pay another $1,000 pesos!! I can understand how they could have miscalculated, and had had he said that they made a mistake I would probably have been more understanding, but it seems like they were trying to change the price on us AFTER the tour. When I offered to split the difference with them, they called the cops. He ever started writing extra notes on the paper to try to justify his case. I have long been an advocate for Mexico, and I would encourage people that it is rare that you run across bad people like this, but I wouldn't do business with this company again when there are plenty of good tour operators. If you are going to work with them, then apparently their "rock bottom" price is $76 USD/per person, which is about what they finally got out of me. Note that they start out at $120-125 per person, and they asked us that morning to not tell anyone else on the tour what we paid...oops ;) The actual trip was great! Bring a GoPro or you can use theirs, which is several generations back. They do provide water and Coke as well as a questionable sandwich. The ceviche they give you at the end of the tour was really good!! Don't forget to tip your guide!! The hassle with the main office wasn't the fault of the guys on the boat. They were great!

    Store front with indifferent shop keepers. Negotiations were fruitless.

    This could have been a pretty bad experience, but turned out well. We booked it through an outfit…read morecalled "Taste of Isla" that seemed to offer a number of activities. The reality was that they were just a virtual booking agency and didn't deliver any of them. We showed up as directed in front of Sr. Frog's and their representative never appeared. Fortunately, the good folks of Societe Cooperative Lopez Mateos were based across the street and kept asking if we had a booking. After I pulled up the email confirmation and a screenshot of the online payment to Taste of Isla, they accepted it and took us out with their group. (It was the exact same tour and I suspect that they were the operator all along - just a poor hand-off.) El Farito is the first and best site as it's shallow enough to clearly see and photograph the fish while snorkeling. MUSA is a super cool concept, but the shallowest sculptures (you'll visit 3-4 only) are in 25-30' of water and difficult to appreciate. Manchones Reef is nearby, but also more of a SCUBA diver experience than for snorkelers owing to the depth. The captain & DM did a good job of keeping our group of 12 corralled. The only issue is that you're diving from a small panga and the portable swim ladder over the side can be tough to climb if you're elderly, overweight or have other mobility issues. The lunch on Playa del Tiburon was pretty basic, but given the $45 cost of the entire package it was hard to complain. You could either ride back to the harbor with them or stay at Tiburon for a massage and drinks and grab a taxi back later. It's a nice little excursion if it's not too windy.

    If you want a real immersive experience of snorkeling PLEASE book with them. Really amazing…read moreservice. Initially I was skeptical because a random guy on the street in Isla Mujeres out the Embarcadero approached me for a snorkel tour. I love underwater life but I am not a good swimmer but he assured that he will keep me safe and will show me corals, underwater arches and caves, and oh boy! he delivered. I was snorkeling for atleast 1.5 hours and he paid extra attention to my whereabouts. Btw this tour is not very pricey either, cheaper than most I found online. Special shout out to Brayon (my tour guide) who made my experience memorable. I wish I could give more stars

It seems like maybe we got lucky with timing, but we just walked in and booked a package. They push hard to add on a photo package. I said no thanks. They ended up dropping the price some and bumped us up to the VIP package. They can definitly neogiate on price! Swimming with the dolpins and manatees was very cool. We also really enjoyed snorkeling with the sharks and sting rays. The package was nice. The buffet food was fine enough. I'm glad we came here. We had a fun easy day on Isla Mujeres!

They even sell upgraded experiences for longer times and two dolphins. The truth is they run 2 encounters per day and you'll be there with 50+ other tourists. There's a big upsell at the beginning as they try to persuade you to buy a photo package and/or upgrade to the Garrafon VIP package if you bought a combo ticket. (Be aware that ferry to Garrafon is $15/person extra vs a cheap cab ride.) There's no pre-encounter video or briefing explaining their mission or the experience. They don't even make the effort group the gringos together so that the handler can speak in English - and 40 minutes is a long time to wonder what they're saying in Spanish. It seems that you're grouped by which package you paid for, but we paid for the single dolphin experience and ended up in a group with two. They split you into a half dozen groups and then station you around the perimeter of the enclosure. The handler then leads you down to a submerged metal platform (trust me - you'll want reef shoes for this!) to stand in a line. They provide some commentary about dolphins and then swim the animal back and forth to allow everyone to pet it. Each person will then have 3 interactions: fin/handshake, nose-to-hand targeting and a dolphin kiss. If you didn't buy the photo package, they'll make another attempt to sell you this. You can hang out around their pool in lounge chairs and even grab lunch (depending on the ticket type you bought). It's an OK experience if you have kids or really love dolphins - just not a fantasy experience.

    We did the whale shark excursion with Mexico Divers today. I will break the review into two parts…read more The booking process and the actual excursion. Booking process- We walked in - in person - to book the excursion. The employee was very friendly and professional. She explained everything throughly. My only gripe is they charge a 10 percent service charge to pay with a card. When the excursion is expensive - with a group - that charge can add up quickly. We were quoted $30-$35 USD cheaper all over the island. Based on a recommendation, we booked anyway - after walking to find an ATM - this was inconvenient. The excursion- The captain and guide were amazing. They took us out to swim with the whale sharks and we hit the jackpot. We also swam with mantas - which was awesome. On the way back, the captain made pitstop so the group could do a little snorkeling. Everyone loved it. Again, my only gripe was the service charge - if that wasn't there - or if it was around 3 percent - I would give a 5.

    Absolutely incredible. My last dive was over 14 years ago during my PADI certification, so this was…read moremy first "real" dive. I had forgotten basically everything! I signed up for the refresher course, which was right before the dive, so it only added an hour and a half to the total time. Marie, my instructor, was AWESOME. She walked me through everything and was incredibly patient. Her positive energy was infectious. I was pretty stressed out during the start of the first dive, and she knew exactly how to chill me out. By the second dive it felt like old hand. Also... the museum and reef were super cool, too :) Highly recommended.

Pros: Great communication, excellent staff, too knotch service, clean boat, patient crew. It was about 11 women for 3 hrs and these guys were so patient with us! We ordered the package with food and the chef had snacks ready for us when we got to the dock. He cooked the rest of lunch while we set sail to Isla Mujeres. They served us drinks And helped us get some good photos in. Cons: Only one real con. My only suggestion is to make sure you make your final payment through PayPal or with cash the day of your excursion. There is no WiFi at the dock and I ended up having to pay via credit card which was an additional $50+ dollar fee, even though I was going using his iPad. Had I known in advance I would've just logged into my paypal account, but didn't realize until it was too late. He didn't communicate that part well. Other than that one issue, there really were no other issues. I highly recommend this company! I will be using them anytime we return to Cancun/Riviera Maya
