Feel the thrill of driving your own speedboat on this guided jungle tour. You'll set off through the mangrove trees of Nichupte Lagoon while you try and spot some of the wildlife the lagoon is famous for, like crocodiles and migratory birds. Then, you'll dive into the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to snorkel in the second-largest barrier reef in the world, Punta Nizuc. Here you'll see the reef's native species – manatees and turtles call this place home.

Booking with our TUI hotel rep was straight forward. Great transfer service, very prompt! The excursion was amazing! One of the highlights of our visit in Mexico. The guide was clear and helpful especially when snorkelling, he pointed out Marine life and we saw a huge Barracuda. The whole of this experience was breathtaking and one to add to the memories! You will not be disappointed. Great experience all round.

Great hassle free trip. The coach transfer from the hotel was prompt and easy. On arrival in Cancun the company asked if we wanted insurance - we were expecting to pay an additional $20 port tax - we were not charged this at all but did opt for the insurance at $15. We had to wait for an hour for our trip, but there was a shop across the road. The speedboat was great, saw crocs, snorkelled and saw an underwater sculpture which was cool. Would recommend and do again. Great value for money.

Pick up was at 11 o’clock for a one hour and 15 minute transfer and we were over 45 minutes early for our boat trip. The bar area where we had to wait was not somewhere we would’ve chosen to wait with a lot of very very loud music which wouldn’t suit some people and certainly didn’t suit us. Plenty of safe locker space and once we were on the speedboat a great experience although I wouldn’t call driving through the mango Groves, where we were a “jungle” trip.

The driver Antonio, and Leon the guide, were very good. We were surprised at the length of time it took to get to the destination. On top of this long journey we had to wait an hour before the tour started. The speed boat seemed old. The tour wording suggests that manatees crocodiles and turtles can be seen on the trip: "You can look out for" , but the busy environment makes sightings unlikely. The reef is dead. Changing facilities rudimentary.

Transfer was late and not particularly comfortable however the excursion itself was amazing and excellent value for money. Leo was our speedboat guide and he was wonderful. We had great fun and his knowledge of the area meant we saw lots of crocs and wildlife. The onsite photos were also good value.

Had gehoopt iets meer te zien tijdens de speedbootrit. Het was vooral snelheid en niet gericht op zien wat er in de jungle leeft. Wat dat betreft mag de omschrijving van deze toer wel worden aangepast. Het snorkelen was oke. Vanaf de speedboot wel mooi zicht op de skyline van het strand. Hebben een prima 2 uurtjes gehad maar voldoet totaal niet aan de omschrijving.
