EXCELLENT Based on 172 reviews Posted on Google hannah faironnnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing experience we had with Isla tours! They explained everything throughly and made sure we were safe, as well as the marine life. This was the highlight of our holiday, and made travelling 11hours worth it. We also got some amazing video footage of our swims with the whale sharks, as well as manta rays. Book with them, you will most definitely not regret it or be disappointed. 10/10. Thanks Isla team, we will not forget this day!!Posted on Google akira chibaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our whale shark swim was everything I hoped for and more! The guide’s briefing was super clear, and they guided us perfectly in the water to get the best views of the whale sharks. We even got to see manta rays! The ceviche after the swim was delicious, too. It was truly the best tour ever. Thank you so much to all the staff!Posted on Google Erin DietrichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceeded my expectations in every way. The experience was very customer focused while also respecting the dignity of the animals. We saw multiple whale sharks, manta rays, and dolphins! The food was great and I really enjoyed swimming during our downtime. Ricky was a fantastic tour guide and took great photos and videos! I can’t recommend this tour enough. Highlight of my time in Mexico.Posted on Google Loren NeilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely outstanding experience. Very professional and safe. We saw countless whale sharks and manta rays, and stopped at Playa Norte afterwards for fresh ceviche and a swim. Highly recommend this outfit!!Posted on Google Jeroen OvermeerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today we had a great whaleshark tour with Isla Sea Tours! Nice boat, good captain and excellent guide. We saw lots of sharks and manta rays. Also a nice snorkelling stop on the way back. And to complete the tour, a delicious lunch with self made guacamole, sevice and drinks in the water at Playa Norte. Thanks for the great experience guys!Posted on Google Danielle DearklandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a private tour and it was the best trip! We saw a ton of whale sharks, we also saw a manta, dolphins and turtles! I would come back again for sure!Posted on Google Tammy DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful experience swimming with whale sharks with an exceptional team. They were very attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time.Posted on Google PD DiscoverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a two day whale shark tour with them and had an amazing time! Juan, Nano and their crew Arturo and Barney did their very best for a safe and enjoyable trip. There is definitely a luck factor about the encounters but they knew exactly how to maneuver the boat and at times me for the most magnificent experience. Since this is a wildlife adventure there are always variables and was so glad to do the two day package, since day 2 conditions turned out to be even better than day 1. We also got lucky to see dolphins and mantas, these guys know what they are doing and you'll be in the best company. The snorkeling tour was a great way to relax and wrap up the trip on day 3. If you book multiple tours they provide a deal, just contact them on WhatsApp. Also they make a great ceviche! Highly recommend, and looking forward to coming back again.Posted on Google Kasie Dobbs AnconaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
