What people are saying about Central Mexico

Took 3 teenage kids. When getting off the boat after 90 minutes with 250 people and seeing more boats coming I had a bad feeling but all of us had a great time. There were many action water activities and the kids chose one add-on, the marine activity with the fish and seal and loved it. Food and drink is all-inclusive and was both tasty and plentiful. With 30 minutes left I sat by the beach for the first time (there are many hammocks and chairs) while the kids found more activities before we had to get back aboard the boat.

Awesome way to see the best views of the coast and mountains. Great family activity. It was exciting enough for my 35 year-old adventurous brother with atv experience but also safe enough for my 68 year-old mother who had never driven an atv before. Ricky, the guide, was awesome and made everyone comfortable and have fun. The photos they took were beyond amazing. The tequila tasting after topped off a perfect afternoon. They picked us up and dropped us back off in the center of town. Cannot recommend enough!

Energetic guides - they were very fun and made it comfortable for us, especially because we were first timers. Highly recommend! It was a blast! Thanks Leo, Andi, Alexis, Michel, Dani. Can’t wait to do it again!

Great people working here and looking out for your safety. Amazing experience flying over that canyon. Muchas gracias !!!

Such a beautiful moment to see the turtles reach the ocean for the first time
