5.00The tour we did was simply spectacular. From the beginning, everything was perfectly organized: the guide was extremely punctual, friendly and always kept an eye on every detail so that we could enjoy the experience to the maximum. The food was delicious, exceeding our expectations, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. In addition, we were celebrating a birthday, and the attention we received made the moment even more special and unforgettable. Without a doubt, it is an experience we totally recommend. Everything went excellent and we would definitely repeat it again.
Great experience

5.00This tour exceeded expectations. The English speaking guide Joseph met us walking into the dock area and led us to the boat. They took us by an island to view wild monkeys on the way to the snorkeling area. There were quite a few varieties of colorful fish to see and the water was warm to swim in. They dropped us at the beach on Turtle Island where we could relax, soak up some sun with pineapple beverages and fresh coconuts. On the boat ride back, the served fresh watermelon and water. Great experience!
Totally awesome...

5.00It was definitely a unique experience guided by Joseph. Communication with him to take this tour was very easy, and that is appreciated. We took the tour to Turtle Island and then headed to another beach to witness the phenomenon of bioluminescence. Spider Mons, Dolphins and a whale with their calf welcomed us as we headed to Turtle Island. Our first stop was the snorkel where the crystal clear water allowed us to see different types of fish up close. The truth is that we had a great time on the island where we enjoyed the warm and crystal clear water. We enjoyed a rich lunch that was part of the tour. Finally we headed to the bright beach, without first stopping at a floating restaurant where Joseph had prepared oysters and scallops as a snack with some lemonades. We will definitely be back soon with Kavelas Tours. It really was a unique experience and with an excellent price!
Amazing, the best out there!

5.00We had the most incredible experience with Kavelas Tours on their Isla Tortuga tour! From snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to spotting whales, everything was perfectly organized, yet also super spontaneous if something great came along, which we loved. The lunch was delicious, and the evening snack was unforgettable — fresh oysters paired with lovely drinks on a floating restaurant in a hidden bay, such a special touch. Josep’s attention to detail and genuine care for every guest made the day feel personal and seamless — something you just can’t get with the big tour companies. I’ve been on three tours, including a private one with family, and I couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend Kavelas Tours for an unforgettable, intimate adventure!
