Outstanding snorkeling experience!! - Everything with La Leyenda was flawless, from the booking, to their quick response to questions, to the easy taxi ride from the cruise terminal. we arrives at 40 Cañyones Hotel, walked to the beach and right on the boat. Instructions and safety briefing were complete and consise. The guide, Alfredo, and the Captain, Chana, worked to find us the best dive sites and make sure we had an amazing time. The guacamole was excellent One of the best features is that it was just our family of 4, with varying levels of snorkeling experience. We've done the large tours where there is 1 guide for 20 people. The La Leyenda crew frequently checked on the newer swimmers and made sure safety was paramount. I can't say enough about the wonderful trip we had and will definitely snorkel with them again

Amazing - We had an amazing experience with La Leyenda Eco Tours . We did the 3 hour fishing and snorkeling trip with our 2 teenage sons. The crew, Oscar and Juan, went above and beyond to make it a great experience for us. We caught 4 large Mahi-mahi and saw beautiful fish and sting ray on the snorkeling trip. Thank you for a memorable experience!!

Excellent - Great experience. Very personalized, low key and great for kids. Getting a cab to/from port to Hotel 40 was a breeze. David, Brie and team were fantastic. Great views of reef, turtles, rays, and multiple other fish. Fresh fruit, freshly made guacamole, and drinks all on the boat were an additional highlight. If you are looking for a unique and personalized experience away from the busy cruise sponsored excursions we highly recommend. Thank you again for an awesome time!

Great experience - You can go in the morning or in the afternoon, I prefer in the morning for the sun, the snorkeling is actually close to the beach, but it is still beautiful

Excellent - We had a great experience with Bri and her family. They were very patient and excellent with our young daughter who struggled with the snirkeling mask. We also appreciated the beach area to hang out for a bit after the tour. Highly recommend!

Fun snorkeling adventure - My family had a wonderful unique experience. We had a private tour where we got to see sea turtles, lobster, squid, and a variety of beautiful fish. They provided snacks (fresh fruit and yummy guacamole) between our snorkeling sessions. Thanks for a great adventure.
