EXCELLENT Based on 138 reviews Posted on Kaitlyn Tapia-RuanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dreams do come true ! This tour was everything ! My siblings and I happened to be staying at an Airbnb hosted by Captain Juan. At the last minute , we decided to reach out to Nano and see if they had space for 4 of us the next morning . Nano picked up the phone immediately and was able to book us for the whale shark tour the next morning . They also went out their way to arrange transportation to the tour meetup spot for us , which was greatly appreciated . The tour was absolutely incredible . We were lucky enough to be in an area with dozens of whale sharks , saw manta rays, and dolphins . Our captain Juan and guide Ricki (Ricardo) were so much fun and very helpful and thoughtful during the whole trip. We received amazing footage from Ricki’s go pro and they made some amazing ceviche for us as well. I am so happy we switched tour companies at the last second to support this small family owned business. It is evident that this family truly respects the wildlife and does an excellent job making sure the tour is ethical by following all of the guidelines . Thank you to the whole crew for such a memorable experience !Posted on Tom FenningerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I am so lucky that I was randomly scrolling through TikTok while in Cancun to discover this experience existed - I booked it for the very next day. Getting to be so up close and personal with whale sharks is a once in a lifetime experience. The crew, Misael and Mano, were so much fun. They clearly respect the whale sharks which is so important and they are so friendly and helpful. Misael would jump in with each group and take very very high quality footage, so you don’t need to worry about bringing an underwater camera. The only thing you need to bring is sunscreen, Dramamine if you get seasick, and cash for tipping the wonderful staff. Afterwards we snorkeled and then Mano made us a DELICIOUS ceviche and guacamole on the boat and we got to relax in the beautiful waters of Isla Mujeres. An experience I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you Misael and Mano!Posted on Kimberly HollandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Epic! The captain was diligent, our guide was informative and kept us safe, an underrated skill that can go unnoticed in the excitement. We saw whale sharks and dolphins. The other people on the tour were cool. It was definitely a beautiful day. Highly recommend.Posted on Marianne WilkeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our tour! Incredible being next to those huge animals. Leandro and Ricky were the best tour guides and great people overall. Would definitely recommend taking Dramamine before if you tend get motion sickness.Posted on Tessa McQuaidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Isla Sea Tours was incredible! I went very early season so we did not see any whale sharks but I still think the tour was very worth it! The guides were amazing, funny, and we saw so many dolphins, turtles, and a manta ray! We also got to snorkel in a beautiful area. Lunch was incredible and it was all around an amazing day. Muchas gracias!!Posted on Tracy PaulsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nano, our captain was amazing! Arturo was also just as amazing.
