The staff is amazing, very fun and outgoing. The boats you drive are very easy to use and the ride is beautiful to where you snorkel. Saw many colorful fish and a lobster. Well worth the money and good way to cool off in the heat.

Great Tour

William_J, Sept 2023

This tour was very Adventurous and amazing. The first time I've driven a miniature speed boat, it was a lot of fun. Snorkeling was awesome as well, plenty of fish swim next to you and the coral reef was amazing also well. Really good tour. Our tour guide, Ceasar, was amazing!!!

Martin_B, July 2023

Great value fun activity in Cancun. Speedboats where fun and snorkelling was enjoyable. Aquaworld team provided safety equipment and institutions in English for us

Great excursion, great guide

Pat_C, July 2023

Would highly recommend this! Cesar was a great guide and did a fantastic job helping my wife who is a non-swimmer. All she had to do was hold on to his life jacket and he guided her around personally.

This was so much fun. I can’t swim so I panicked during snorkeling but my instructor was so calling, helpful and understanding. Did not come with transportation but that wasn’t an issue.

Desiree_D, Mar 2023

My kid enjoy it.

Stefan_C, Mar 2023

It was nice experience going thru the canal. Also in the open sea the experience was nice. Keep in mind to let distance to the boat ahead, so you can have more fun, and be safe.

Highly Recommend

Saaket_P, Mar 2023

Great experience! I recommend remaining in front of the line so you can drive fast. My tour was originally in the morning, but Viator changed it to an afternoon one without informing me. Make sure to check with the operator a day or two prior to the activity.

Response from Host, Mar 2023
