My husband and I took the Archeological Tour in November. This included Tulum, Coba, and snorkeling in a cenote. Graham was very easy to correspond with prior to our arrival. Eddie, our tour guide did a great job. He followed along on all activities taking pictures as we went (picture CD is included in the price). The ruins were beautiful... more

Just came back from Playa and went on the Snorkel Shop's Northern Surf and Turf tour. Prices were reasonable, the trip was not crowded and Eddie our guide was fantastic. The first stop was a cenote (partially submerged limestone cave) outside of Playa del Carmen. Views of the rock formations, tree roots plunging into the water and the blind fish... more

We booked through "mexicantoureast.com" for the Snorkel Shop. I called and talked to Graham. You can email him too. He is Canadian and made booking what we wanted very easy. Friendly and informative. We had a group of 7 and they picked us up at two different resorts (very new and clean van) and took us to a Cenote. I... more

We took a snorkel tour with Eddie from the Snorkel Shop on 30 September and had a great time. We did the whole day tour, so a cenote (underground cave) in the morning and then the reef in the afternoon. Eddie was patient, knowledgeable and easy going and the best part - my husband and I were the only ones... more

We booked the Cenote tour called the Northern Surf and Turf through the Snorkel Shop in Playa del Carmen. First, the price is the best you will find anywhere in the Mayan Riviera. My husband is very cheap so I had to do a lot of research to find the best price. The Snorkel Shop is run by a Canadian... more

The Snorkel Shop is THE only real snorkel shop in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. Owned by El Gramo (The Graham, in English), the snorkeling tours are amazing. I went on the Northern Surf and Turf tour which consisted of two trips, one about a 30 min drive to Puerto Morales where we hopped on a boat that took us to... more

A full day & Eddie was such a great host. A CD of the days event was provided at the end, so... more

We debated about going with the flu scare, but decided to go, and are sure glad we did. We had the whole area practically to ourselves. They said the hotel was 50% full, but it seemed like less. We didn't see anybody sick. The resort was great and I agree with all the good reviews posted here. The main reason... more

So, on my last full day in PDC it was choppy on the water but still nice enough to go snorkeling. I didn't have a planned trip so I asked around the dive shops and someone told me about The Snorkel Shop. My hopes weren't extremely high as I walked down there thinking that most tours had already gone out... more
