“We had an amazing day!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2011

Yesterday we went out for a 3/4 day excursion with Roberto & Jan Carlos aka "Brown Sugar" and had a blast! Our favorite snorkeling spot was the cenotes - getting to swim in an underground/water cave was like nothing I've done before. The lunch we had was perfect too. Our guides, as mentioned above took great care of us, were a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about everything we did and everywhere we went. When we booked trip with "Best Day" travel at our hotel "The Royal Playa del Carmen" we originally planned a submarine rude in Cozumel - but this was a much better deal. For $86 (US) we were picked up at 7:45am, then after picking up other guests in neighboring hotels/resorts we headed for our three destinations and just had a great day. Ask for Jan Carlos or Roberto if you book - they are both fantastico! xoxo ~Sunday y Mateo~

We had 3 teenaged children along and they loved it! The snorkle excurion was well worth the money and it was fun for all ages. We saw three different sites in one trip and had a very knowledgeable, proffessional guide named Gustauvo who was also alot of fun!! Also got lunch with the tour and the food was excellent and in a really clean place!! I would highly reccomend this tour and the "Adventuras Mayas company ! This was the best snorkle excursion I have been on and I have done others in other countries but enjoyed this one the most! Thanks!!

I had the most fantastic day! We zip lined, repelled, sorkeled with the turtles and also in an underground cave. From the moment we were picked up at our resort, our guide Carlos, was entertaining and informative! I always felt very safe and cared for throughout the various activities. We were also provided a wonderful lunch! The value for the amount of activities you get to try is incredible! I highly recommend this excursion! Our guide Carlos was awesome and went totally out of his way to make two middle aged women feel comfortable! He encouraged me to try the repelling and I was so glad I did!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the rest of the world. We´re happy to read you enjoyed your Snorkel Xtreme tour in company of Carlos. We´re thrilled to hear you decided to try our rappel, we hope the view itself was worth it (and of course the big adrenaline rush when you´re coming down). We hope this was an unforgettable day and if you have any photos we´d love if you could share them in our facebook wall of fame. Gracias!

We did the snorkeling and cliff jumping trip. We went with kids aged 14 to 23. They LOVED it. It was the highlight of their 8 days in Mexico. We saw many, many fish while snorkeling including sea turtles. The kids would not stop with the cliff jumping and zip lining into the water. The had such a great time! The cave snorkeling was also a hit. I've never done that before and it was super cool. We had a great guide that was a lot of fun and did a good job pointing out things to us as we snorkeling in case we missed something. We did buy the pictures they took and I think it was worth it. They had good shots of the 11 of us.

The Mayan Sacrifice (cliff jumpling) is always a great hit amongst kids (and not so young kids too), we hope you loved it as much as we do. We hope to show you another great day on your next trip to Mexico. Te esperamos!!!
