What people are saying about Nichupté Lagoon

Highly recommended for a family activity. Very professional guides. The boat ride is just amazing especially as it goes into the narrow water path. The snorkeling part was good but I had higher expectations as to the different types of fishes.

Such a fun excursion..the boats are pretty fast and easy to drive. The guide was fun and the snorkling was cool as well. We even came across a stingray.. You will definitely enjoy yourself. Jimmy was our guide and he was great

We had a great time on this excursion! The staff was very good with instructions and also a lot of fun! Snorkeling was amazing and it was the perfect amount of time! Would definitely recommend.

So much fun but you don't go through deep terrain like the picture might seem. You simply go through this small brush in the water pretty fast and head right out into snorkeling.

Amazing, we loved everything from the ceremony to the speed boat journey. Really recommend.
