★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,781 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $44Our pick

Review of Cancun reef snorkeling in Puerto Morelos, with guided reef time, tacos, tequila tasting, hotel transfers, costs, and practical tips.

“Mixed feelings about this experience. The snorkeling tour itself was so much fun, and our guide Carlos was excellent. Transportation to and from our resort was fine, on time. But after the snorkeling and before lunch we were rounded into a “tequila presentation” that we were unaware of, featuring a brand we’ve never heard of, led by a representative of the brand who provided information about their tequila vs other “famous brands” that we felt was highly questionable.

Cruise through Sumidero Canyon, visit Chiapa de Corzo, and enjoy mountain views on an 8 to 9-hour trip from San Cristobal.

“We made this tour as 4 people with Gonzalo on March 24, 2025. I travel a lot and this tour was the worst experience I ever had. The tour supposed to start at 9 am, but nobody showed up. After trying to contact them and GYG for 45 minutes, tour provider and GYG solved the issue and agreed to take us at 10 am, 1 hour later than usual. Our “tour guide” was not an actual guide but a person who knew the area. He didn’t speak English, although we HAVE paid for an English tour. We arrived to the port for the boats for Sumidero Canyon. A group left…”

Review of Rio Secreto’s cave, bike, rappel and zipline tour near Playa del Carmen, with practical advice on price, timing, fitness and photo costs.

“Muy buena la aventura. Recomiendo hacer todas las actividades porque vale la pena. El chofer Manuel, el guía Mauricio y el fotógrafo Patricio fueron muy cálidos en el trato, divertidos y profesionales. Sin ellos la experiencia no hubiera sido la misma. Algo para mejorar es la comida que se ofrece en el lugar ya que tiene poca variedad.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 35 reviews · 7 hours · from $126

Cruise Sumidero Canyon, visit Chiapa de Corzo, and enjoy canyon viewpoints on a practical 7-hour trip from Tuxtla.

“El trayecto en barca es precioso y hemos podido ver muchos animales y vegetación. Quizás con un mirador ya habría bastante porque se pierde mucho tiempo. Encima nos tocó nublado y no se veía muy bien. La recogida por los diferentes hoteles es demasiado larga, sería mejor fijar un punto de recogida y de finalización para todos igual.”
