Best guac ever

This was hands down the best money spent! Captain quickie and his team are amazing. We had a non swimmer in our group and the captain took it upon himself to personally stay with her and make her feel safe. At the end she was even snorkeling underwater and able to see turtles. He takes you to small hole in the wall spots that aren't over crowded. He truly makes you feel like you aren't on a guided trip but that you're hanging out with friends. The catamaran trip was amazing!! The drinks were great but make sure you get a margarita personally made by captain quickie. He is very knowledgeable and we left the tour learning tons of local history. If we ever come back a tour here will be first on my list. I cant praise this trip enough.

See all

Getting a new start - surprise 'vows' on a RMCatamaran with our families…read more We booked an evening cruise with Riviera Maya Catamarans. Our daughters and their 'friends' were meeting for the first time. We let RMC know that we wanted to surprise our family with a simple vow-exchanging ceremony. The Captain and staff knew - no one else. We were welcomed by two amazing greeters - they presented us with a cold bottle of champagne before we even boarded. The staff had taken time to set a gorgeous table with fresh fruit and snacks - fresh flowers placed around the vessel. it was the perfect welcome. I wish that I could remember all of the names staff: Sofia, Captain Alex are the names that come to mind - but all were great at their jobs. My only discouragement was that the seas were rough, so we had to stay in Puerto Adventuras canals and finally dropped anchor in what I'd consider to be a 'party cove'. Cap Alex did his best to get us away from the twerkers, loud music and drunk partiers. We did surprise our family -Captain Alex ad-libbed the wedding in Spanish, we exchanged vows and he declared us 'husband and wife'. It was magical. I thank the staff, Captain and crew for making a positively wonderful event for us and our families. Thank you!

We had the best crew with a chef who went above and beyond. The food was so good. Teens had a…read moreblast on the sail as well as the cove. Well worth the money spent. Highly recommend booking in advance to get the catamaran.

My birthday was December 29th. As a tour operator, I was working during our peek season. My wife…read moretried to surprise me with a private charter with all our friends and family. She just did not inform me. The scheduled time was 4.30. As my tour got complicated, it did not end on the scheduled time. The crew waited patiently to 6 PM at which time my wife ,correctly, ordered the sail to take place as the Space Station was scheduled to fly over head at 6.45. Although I missed my own party, the pictures of my family and friends were amazing. I give these guys 2 thumbs up for their efforts and professionalism as everybody praised the party I could not attend. Happy sailing!!!

I hate writing bad reviews but these guys were not honest about the day's conditions…read more We booked the catamaran through our hotel, Barceló Maya and an event there organized by CID. We were sold "Sail[ing] from Puerto Aventuras to the second largest coral reef system in the world on a luxury 65-foot catamaran. Swim among hundreds of tropical fish species, turtles, whale sharks, and fabulous coral reefs on this guided snorkeling adventure. While you swim, a meal will be prepared on board. Enjoy an exquisite lobster or New York strip steak with a full open bar including mixed drinks, beer, margaritas, soda and purified water." The last few days had been windy and the seas very rough. That morning was no different. We decided to at least check in at the lobby and see what the plan was. At that point, even if the vendor didn't cancel, we considered eating the cost of the excursion and staying safe and happy at the hotel. Weather is unpredictable but especially so in the tropics. At the lobby, we were informed that the boat would still go out but snorkeling was a 50-50 chance. I'm an avid diver and I adore sailing so I was hoping at least a boat ride was still possible, if not snorkeling. We risked it, erring on the side of adventure. About 15 minutes later, upon exiting the shuttle, we were immediately informed that the boat would NOT be going out NOR would snorkeling be an option. The plan was, instead, to take us to a small bay in the harbor and let us swim. They'd open up the bar early in hopes that everyone drank too much to care. I cared. I find it highly unlikely that information about conditions changed since we left the hotel. No doubt our activities coordinator at Barceló had been misinformed to ensure the cruise wasn't cancelled. I felt duped. If I had known this info upfront, we would have just opted to stay at the hotel. No big deal. What we were sold: A catamaran ride and snorkeling adventure. What we got: A stationary booze cruise. The boat never opened a sail. They ran out of wine and other drinks. And we were stuck there FOR FOUR HOURS. We made do with what we could but the whole smoke and mirrors show was hard to swallow. What should have been the icing on the cake (lunch, bar and water slide) felt like an expensive 4-hour jail. Let me put it this way: When the crew announced that we were finally headed back to the dock, the entire boat cheered or exclaimed, "Thank god." So I wasn't the only one who felt duped.

Came here for an excursion of my cruise and was pleasantly surprised…read more We got to go reef diving and also do an encounter with sharks and stingrays. The staff was incredibly friendly and was great easing those who were nervous to swim with the rays and sharks. The encounter was about 4 hours total and I feel like I got my moneys worth. Gear was provided and sanitized and the food provided was yummy as well. Really enjoyed my time here and would absolutely recommend.

The staff, Fernando, Miguel, and various others, were all a lot of fun and extremely funny. They went over safety rules and how to use our life jackets, snorkels, fins, etc. they showed us hand signals to use to make sure we were okay, or if we needed help. After snorkeling, we got back on the catamaran, and a few of us went to sit on the roof and ride over to stingray beach. The view was amazing. Once we got to the stingray beach area, we put our belongings away and got some water shoes, then went to see the sting rays. They told us about Caribbean sting rays also, and how they feel more coarse like sand compared to the regular sting rays we're used to seeing. After that we took photos. Then we were able to feed them. Make sure you're careful out there. The rocks are uneven and you can lose balance easily if you're not careful. Once we were finished there, we snorkeled in a different area that had sting rays, fish, and sharks. There were two female sharks, and one male shark. We swam around the area for a little while before getting out and going to eat. They had chicken tacos and chips and guac and ceviche. I ended up getting our digital photos also. After that, we took the boat back to port. And they definitely partied it up back in. It was so much fun and I would definitely do it again.

My wife is not…read morea confident snorkeller but with help from Luis and Limbert she went out into quite a rough sea to see the turtles and then snorkelled over some deep water in the cenote/caves. We both thoroughly enjoyed the half day trip and would recommend it to anyone. Limbert was a very knowledgeable guide and told us a lot about the history of Mexico on the drive down. Both were quite close to Playa Del Carmen/ Playacar so the longest drive was around thirty minutes. I got some great photos and at the end of the trip we were sent a Google Drive of the photos that Limbert had taken.

¡Un tour inolvidable gracias a Rod y Limbert!…read more Tuve la fortuna de vivir una experiencia única con el servicio de custom tour ofrecido por Rod, el propietario, y Limbert, nuestro guía turístico. Desde el primer momento, la atención fue impecable, personalizada y cálida. Limbert no fue solo un guía: se convirtió en un verdadero amigo que nos hizo sentir como invitados especiales en su propia casa. Su conocimiento sobre la cultura maya es impresionante, y visitar las ruinas con él fue como viajar en el tiempo --una experiencia educativa y fascinante que no habríamos tenido con nadie más. Además, nadar con las tortugas fue una experiencia fuera de este mundo. Limbert se encargó de que todo fuera seguro, organizado y, sobre todo, mágico. Nos llevó también a restaurantes maravillosos con auténtica comida mexicana, alejados de lo turístico y llenos de sabor local. Gracias a Rod y Limbert, mis vacaciones fueron mucho más que excelentes --fueron absolutamente memorables. Recomiendo este tour a cualquiera que quiera descubrir La península de Yucatán con profundidad, autenticidad y un toque personal inolvidable. An Unforgettable Tour Thanks to Rod and Limbert! I was lucky to experience a truly unique custom tour organized by Rod, the owner, and Limbert, our tour guide. From the very beginning, the service was impeccable--warm, personalized, and incredibly thoughtful. Limbert wasn't just a guide; he felt like a true friend welcoming us into his home. His knowledge of Mayan culture is outstanding, and visiting the ruins with him felt like traveling back in time--an educational and fascinating experience we wouldn't have had with anyone else. Swimming with the turtles was also absolutely out of this world. Limbert made sure everything was safe, smooth, and above all, magical. He also took us to amazing restaurants with authentic Mexican cuisine, far from the tourist traps and full of local flavor. Thanks to Rod and Limbert, my vacation was more than excellent--it was truly memorable. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the Yucatán Peninsula with depth, authenticity, and a personal touch you'll never forget.

We had a wonderful time doing the ATV tour and zipline/cenotes. ATV course was better than most…read moreI've done on vacation. The machines were in good condition, and the course had some challenging spots. Our guide, Karen, was awesome. Zipline/cenotes was fun as well. There is only one cenote, and I was disappointed it was a bit murky. Other's I've been to are crystal clear. Ziplines were fun, and you could also jump from the zip line tower, which was great. Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend as a family activity.

I was recommended this tour by my hotel and I'm super glad we went. There's multiple options you…read morecan take, but my tour had four parts: Part one was swimming in a lagoon where freshwater meets saltwater Part two was a swim in an underground cenote Part three an ATV ride Part four zip lining. Andres was our host. He was personable, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The first swim in the Lagoon area was my favorite. The water wasn't too cold even though we went early morning and the fish we saw were so pretty. Definitely something that a family of all ages can enjoy. They also have deflated life vests for the adventurers that want to do some diving. My only note is that they don't actually offer traditional snorkels. They have the full face ones, but I found them to not fit very well, so they really only had goggles as an option. If you want a true snorkel experience, bring your own, otherwise, you will be holding your breath every time you go underwater, I still had a great experience despite that shortcoming. You also should bring your own underwater phone case and towel. They do have them for purchase in the gift shops, but I found them to be pretty expensive and not worth paying for, but you definitely want that underwater camera for the underground cenote. My only other note is that they charge a crazy amount for Photos. We paid $75 for maybe 20-30 photos . I feel the standard at most places is between 30 and 50. Other than that I highly recommend this experience and hopefully you get Andres as your tour guide.
