I had an amazing time on the snorkeling tour with the stingrays and turtles! The experience was unforgettable, and the staff made it even better—they were fun, engaging, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and entertained the whole time. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable adventure!
Great for anyone!

We really enjoyed this trip. Gerardo is very knowledgeable and kind. We did a city tour and we then went to tequila and chocolate factories which were quite informative. We tailored it to a trip having a small child 3yr old toddler as well as my dad 74 years old. Gerardo was able to find stops that all of us liked and enjoyed. Gracias!

Awful
Our tour did returned us to our cruise ship so late we had 1 minute to run to catch it before departure. Everyone was highly stressed by this. Perhaps other reviewers were lucky because few cruise ships are in harbor. Our bus to the boat was over capacity and had to be supplemented with another van, which, along with starting late, took 30 minutes from scheduled start time. Our tour included the interesting stop at the Turtle Farm those choosing to skip this presumably got the ship at a reasonable time.
The boat used to reach Sting ray city was over capacity with guests and did not have snorkeling gear for everyone on the second stop. It left the dock short of crew went back so a guy coming late could jump aboard.
Sting ray city was very busy and the captain chose to anchor on the up wind side. This meant that while others were in knee-deep water, we were within waves breaking up to six feet high So much for being told never to jump in the water.

This tour was awful. First, the tour provider overbooked and did not have enough room in the van for all of us. After waiting in the blazing hot parking lot, we were led to another van-already half full- and piled in. At Stingray City we were parked in chest high water and when the waves came they would break over our heads and push us away from the group. It was almost impossible to have any interaction with the stingrays given the high water and constant waves. We were unable to feed them and are pictures were terrible. At the Turtle Farm our guide gave us no back ground information and never indicated how much time we had to visit. Finally, we very nearly missed our tender back to the ship. We advised out driver/guide of our departure time before and during the excursion but we only made the tender with four minutes to spare. Having been to both Stingray City and the Turtle Farm previously with other tour companies I can honestly say this was the worst excursion we have experienced.

Tour was very unorganized. It appears that Rowan Tours - the tour supplier- is merely the middle man and has no involvement other than picking you up from location and bringing you to the first bus driver. The bus drivers, the boat crew and the turtle farm do not work for Rowan and don't have the ability to contact them or address issues.

The primary issue we had on this tour was that despite being billed as Perfect for all ages and skill level, the crew anchored in water too deep for either of my girls to be able to stand. My 6-year-old valiantly attempted to tread water, fight-off the waves, and check-out the rays for as long as possible, but it was too much for her and she returned to ship after 10 minutes. My little one was not able to stand or wear a life vest without getting mouthfuls of water they only had adult standard issue orange vests, designed to turn you onto your back, so she was back on the boat even quicker.

The boat then left Sting Ray City and went to a snorkeling location by the reef for 45 minutes. That would have been a fun surprise for my wife and I, but we specifically chose a tour that DIDN'T have snorkeling as we knew my 4 year-old wouldn't be able to participate. I don't know if Rowan put us on the wrong tour or if the ship captain unilaterally decided to cut the sting rays short, but this turned into more time just sitting on the boat watching adults do something else the kiddos couldn't do.

The good news? My kids loved the turtle farm. It surpassed our expectations - very cool.

My advice: do not book this tour if you have little ones, or if you are particular about exactly what your tour will consist of.

My favorite part of all my excursions was stingray city. It was so much fun! The guys from the boat were great at explaining about sting rays and helping us feed them, etc. The stingrays were awesome! Highly recommend them. And the turtle farm was great too. You got to hold the turtles but honestly there's a part of me that doesn't like that because I have a feeling they don't want to be held, ya know? But it was very educational and there are some huge turtles there. Get some food to feed the turtles too! Hint: the birds, chickens and roosters like the food too!

Absolutely horrible. We never made it to the Turtle Farm because no one was there when they brought us back, and no one would take us. The weather made everyone else cancel their Sting Ray tours, but ours was not. At first, I thought we were lucky, but when you can't stand in the water because it blows you over, it isn't much luck. Half of the passengers on this tour were not given what they were promised and it was only fixed by us calling the owner who ended up sending out a boat to get the angry ones so we would not miss our cruise time. We were lied to, deceived, and I also don't feel safety was considered.

The turtles! The Stingrays! Robert! The boat crew! It was a 5 star experience from beginning to end. Our group included three adults and a five year old and a three year old. Everyone was completely entertained. I recommend this trip to everyone!
