“The day of the experience, after we were on the bus, we were told that we could not do snorkeling with turtles. And that was the reason I booked the experience! It was marketed as a 5 hour tour, but we were gone 7:35 until 4.30. We ate lunch at 3:30… my kids were starving. The cenote was amazing. But the snorkeling we did in lieu of the turtles was too crowded. The beach club we ate at had good food, but you couldn’t go in the water due to sea urchins. So what was the point. Our guides were very nice and very good, but overall it was too…”

They also shared fascinating insights into the vegetation and wildlife of Quintana Roo, which added an extra layer of interest to the experience. I appreciated the pace of the trip—it was never rushed but always active, making it both comfortable and engaging. Lunch was delicious, and I’m especially grateful that my dietary needs were accommodated. Swimming in the cenote was a highlight; it was less crowded and stunningly beautiful, partly because it’s a bit more remote and harder to access. Overall, I had an amazing day, felt…”

“I wouldn't recommend this company. They tried to get more money from us at the tour. We had communication with the tour operator since there was no option for separate ATVs and he stated we can pay $40 USD at arrival. I was quoted $20 when picked up but I was still going to pay $40 since that is what was agreed upon then changed to $45. I showed them the messages and they agreed to the $40. Once paid they then told me I had to pay more money due to a remaining balance when Viator paid for the tour in full. They swindled more money from other people…”

It was supposed to be a 12 hour trip. We got up at the crack of dawn for a 7am pick up which we had to cab to from our hotel resort (600 Mxn pesos). We got to the pick up point and after waiting for 15 min called the phone number online (EKINOX TOURS) and was informed they had no space for us. The tour was full.
