Food poisoning
katarzynas821
, Nov 2019
I've had a food poisoning after the trip. The boat for to small for the weather conditions that day (windy day, huge waves). Consequently, the boat trip was far from comfortable. The snorkeling was the worst I've ever experienced - poor visibility, huge waves and no reef. The captain should resign form snorkeling or at least try different spot. We lost lens to the camera. We've left it in my bag in locked compartment. After the trip, it was gone. The tour was the weakest point of our 2 week trip around Yucatan. The only positive of the trip is Isla Contoy itself. Truly beautiful. My recommendation: go to Isla Contoy but look for different tour provider.
