About this tour

Mahahual Ecotours’s owner Victor Rosales started working in tourism in 2006 as a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor, worked for 7 years in contact with tourist in the Scuba Diving world, not only in México but also worked in a few countries around the world. After traveling and working abroad I realized how amazing the Yucatán peninsula is, and no one was offering activities related to nature, friends and family said that I should open a business using my local knowledge and expertise in the area. So in November 2013 we took the first official bookings.
