What an adventure!! It was a truly amazing tour! When we left the dock in the small boats, powered by 30HP outboard motors, they really went fast.
I can’t remember our Guides name off-hand but, he was great.
Prior to starting, we were gathered together around a large map, showing us the route we would be taking to get out into the Caribbean. We were also given hand/arm signals that we had to use. As there were five boats plus the guide, whenever he did an arm signal, all boats had to repeat the signal so all boats knew what to do, like, speed up, slow down, gather around, etc.
On the way to the Mangroves, the company had a drone up taking a picture/video of everyone.
Once we entered the mangroves and zig-zagging through them, they were beautiful, and when it opened up into the Caribbean….WOW!!
The Guide took us to this area where other boats were tied off and then tied us all together at a roped off area over the reef. He told us not to touch the reef at all prior to sliding in off the boat to start snorkelling.
There were so many fish to see, as well as the marine vegetation. When you continued following him, we came up to some statues that had been placed an were pretty cool to see.
After snorkelling, we headed back in through the mangroves and back to their docks and drove right up onto floating berths.
When we returned the lifejackets and fins, they were trying to sell you a couple of pictures they took of you with the drone, we never purchased as we took some of our own pictures.
.We’ve been to Cancun four times now and have never done this excursion before, I highly recommend it for sure.
The staff, especially our Guide, I think as either Fernando or Forman, not positive.
