What a perfect way to enjoy the sun out on the beautiful waters off of Cancun! The Samba operation is very well organized. They operate several boats, make sure everyone is well looked after (equipment, drinks, food, etc), and ensure that everyone has a fantastic day. The "swim with the sharks" portion is rather pathetic. You step down from a... More

The water was beautiful, the snorkeling was excellent & the service was incredible! They were funny, entertaining and made my vacation memorable!! I'm coming back to Cancun in the summer... More

We had a great time on the catamaran. Always fun. Great meal at the beach club. Had our pic taken with a nurse shark. My husband went on the spiniker and had tons of fun. They took us shopping in Isla Mujeres. Snorkeling was cool, saw tons of fish and corals. Totally recommend Samba. The staff on the boat were... More
