EXCELLENT Based on 124 reviews Posted on Nora S Tauke SchweighartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Isla Sea Tours on our recent trip to Playa Mujeres. From the moment we reached out they were extremely responsive and helped us plan personalized experiences for our family of four. We booked airport transfers with a stop at a grocery store on the way in, a private fishing experience, a private water transfer to Isla Mujeres and a private snorkeling trip. All of the drivers, guides, and captains were courteous and professional and the prices were reasonable for the level of service. Shout out to Captain Joseph and Guide Oscar for a fantastic fishing experience and Captain Carlos and Guide Oscar (again, at our request) for a great snorkeling tour. Oscar in particular was great with our kids and super helpful on both the fishing and snorkeling tour. When one of our excursions needed to be rescheduled last minute due to weather, Isla Sea Tours reached out proactively and helped re-book the trip. We will absolutely use them again next time we are in the area.Posted on Dean KriellaarsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great experience because of the amazing crew, plus we caught a lot of barracuda (the saltwater Muskie). Boat was equipped with a Bluetooth speaker to play our tunes out on the deep blue. Even taught us some of the ways to secure the bait fish for better action! We highly recommend this!Posted on Cami FergusonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used them many times and it is always wonderful! They are kind, friendly and make sure you feel safe! Everytime someone asks about whale sharks or snorkeling I always recommend!! They also take pictures!Posted on Sage JanulisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came at the end of whale shark season and were really hoping to spot a whale shark or two and with some patience we were able to spot a few! Our guide Javier was great and set the expectations clearly for everyone and how to make the most of our experience. The price is definitely worth it -- the cheapest on the island but also professional! Giving the whale shark snorkeling experience 4 out of 5 stars because when we needed to pay the 2nd half of the payment in person by credit card we were overcharged by $10 USD. When we did the calculation of the remaining half plus 5% credit card fee, the young woman suddenly decided she didn't understand currency exchange. She "chose" the exchange rate to be $1USD for $19MXN (while she should have charged us the current exchange rate or directly USD). To add insult to injury, she then asked if we wanted to charge our international credit card in pesos or dollars and if we selected dollars it would have added another $8USD to the total price. So instead you should ask to pay via payment link and pay directly in USD instead of this nonsense. Without this money issue we would give it 5 out of 5 stars because the trip itself was wonderful.Posted on Eric EsparzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Saw Isla Sea Tours and their experience via Tik Tok. Reach out and they immediately got back to me and direct me over to WhatsApp. Answered all ky questions very timely and went over and beyond scheduling transportation to and from our hotel and even moved our day around when we ran into an issue in our schedule. Javier and his assistant/captain were beyond amazing and so patient and friendly dispite my family not having the best “sea legs” once out there. The price was right in line and affordable for this one in a lifetime experience! Can’t say enough great things about this experience and our guides! We got to see some pretty amazing things and I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life! Highly Highly recommended! Thank you so much Isla Sea Tours for a magical day!Posted on Jose Manuel Moya AdameTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
