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.

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.

A little underwhelming. I know the spotting of wildlife can’t be controlled but the mangrove trees didn’t seem to house a lot of animals. Neither did the place where we snorkelled. There was a a lot fish but no turtles or manatee or birds. I also felt it came to an abrupt end when another tour came over to snorkel in the same area. The only positive was driving your own speedboat. That was quite fun and our guide was nice.

This trip was awesome. We were lucky and the only ones booked. So we had a private excursion. Speedboats were great and good fun. The snorkelling was excellent. Saw a few statues on the reef. Loads of fish. Barracuda, Squid and lobsters. A 3 hour round trip from Grand Sirenis but totally worth it for the 2+ excursion. Highly recommend this trip.
