Do not miss whale-sharks

Good service. Cecilia, our guide was excellent. Energetic, enthusiastic, friendly, professional The lunch session in water at isla mujeres and the snorkeling could be both replaced by a more authentic time. While i can understand the whalesharks location is one spot where we cannot avoid having many tourists, the snorkeling/in water lunch are really mass tourism and indeed not very “glamour” for people who are used to authenticity when travelling
