EXCELLENT Based on 127 reviews Cristina M2025-04-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ¡Absolutamente recomendable! Tuvimos una experiencia de 5 estrellas explorando la belleza de la Riviera Maya gracias a nuestro increíble guía, Juan Pablo. Desde el momento en que nos recogió, su amabilidad y atención fueron excepcionales. El punto culminante del día fue, sin duda, la oportunidad de nadar con las tortugas marinas en Akumal. Juan Pablo nos proporcionó toda la información necesaria sobre cómo interactuar con estos magníficos animales de manera respetuosa y segura, asegurándose de que tuviéramos una experiencia mágica y consciente. Su paciencia y conocimiento hicieron que nos sintiéramos completamente cómodas y seguras en el agua. ¡Fue un sueño hecho realidad! La segunda parte de la excursión nos llevó a un hermoso cenote, donde pudimos refrescarnos en sus aguas cristalinas y admirar las impresionantes formaciones rocosas. Juan Pablo compartió datos interesantes sobre la historia y la importancia cultural de los cenotes para la región, enriqueciendo aún más la experiencia. Nuevamente, su preocupación por nuestra seguridad y la protección del entorno fue evidente en todo momento. Queremos destacar especialmente la profesionalidad y la calidez humana de Juan Pablo. Estuvo atento a cada detalle, respondiendo a todas nuestras preguntas y asegurándose de que disfrutáramos al máximo de cada momento. Su entusiasmo por compartir la belleza natural de la Riviera Maya es contagioso. Si estás buscando una excursión inolvidable para nadar con tortugas en Akumal y explorar un cenote en la Riviera Maya, ¡no dudes en contactar con ellos y pedir a Juan Pablo como guía! Te garantizo una experiencia segura, emocionante y llena de momentos maravillosos. ¡Gracias, Juan Pablo, por hacer de este día algo tan especial!

Lisa Jefferson2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing experience diving for the first time! We did the 1 day certification with the pool instruction/ 2 open water dives. Tom our instructor was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, patient and just overall super fun- made the whole experience even better! Once you get into the open water all I can say is wow! This has truly been my favorite activity I have ever tried! I would highly recommend booking with AWA! Everyone I worked with was very kind and knowledgeable. We will definitely be continuing our diving education and journey and next time we are back we will definitely be using AWA again.
