Was an amazing experience! Definitely worth the money. Our tour guide was brilliant. Her name was Kary (sorry if name is spelt wrong :) ) she had very good knowledge and could see she had good passion with what she does for work. Kary answered all of our questions and ensured we were safe the whole way through the tour. Thank you for the amazing experience for our honeymoon.

Het blijft een soort dierentuin, maar deze staat wel in een mooi natuurgebied. Leuke rondleiding, gids Sixto wist op elke vraag het antwoord en was zelf ook begaan/betrokken bij de dieren. Gaf eerlijke antwoorden op alle vragen. Ik vond het een prachtige plek, mooie mensen die heel goed werk doen. Ga hier zeker naartoe! want het reservaat heeft de steun van de bezoekers hard nodig!

For myself it was disappointing,having paid plenty of money for the monkey sanctuary and turtle watching, because it said it was ok for people of all abilities I bought this excursion,however, when it came to getting off the boat,they don't use a ladder and I couldn't jump in with my arthritis issues, so they went without me to see the turtles and took me back to the shore,let me use a ladder to climb out at the shore, then left me sat on a rock to wait for the rest of the group to return. Awful

Wir haben die "abgespeckt Version" der Tour genommen - ohne Quad, was uns ca. 50 USD gespart hat. . Den Preis fand ich pro Person mit ca. 100 USD plus Fahrt (keine Kinderermäßigung) teuer. Auch das Essen am Ende war eher dürftig . Wenn das Geld aber bei den Tieren ankommt, ist das ok. TRAURiG und nicht empfehlenswert ist das Schnorcheln in vollkommen von Touristen überfüllten Wasser: max. 2 Schildkröten, einige Fische, abgestorbene Algen. Tierauffangstation: gut Schnorcheln: schlecht

I thought the ziplines would be faster an up higher for the price we paid. And the pictures were just ok. But the price was double of anyplace else we went. Lower the price and you will sell more. Nobody in our group bought them after they seen price.

Goed dat het er is voor de diertjes die gewond zijn en niet terug gezet kunnen worden , anders wel als ze opgeknapt zijn. Alleen stikt het er van de muggen en ondanks we on flink ingespoten hebben met deet 50 helemaal lek geprikt dwars door de kleding heen.Wat me opviel de gene die de rondleiding gaf het geen 1 muggenbuld. Zou wel een optie zijn om dat spul wat hun gebruiken te verkopen

We loved what this experience offered, it let us see the tropical side of Mexico. We didn’t like how we were placed into a bilingual guide and were made to listen to 2 sets of explanations, meanwhile standing and waiting in 32 degree heat. Then the main building also didn’t have any AC. We also weren’t made aware this was a guided tour, we like being able to go at our own pace and select what we pay interest in. This experience didn’t allow that. We were also made to wait for our transfer back.

We appreciate all the hard work that the staff put in at the sanctuary. The tour and guide of the sanctuary was informative and pleasant, but could have been done in half the time. This was not the main thing that we had booked for. We had booked 'swimming with turtles', yet this experience felt like and add on and was very disappointing.
