Sayulita Entourage in Sayulita Mexico

We booked the whale-watching and snorkeling afternoon tour with Sayulita Entourage. The boat ride and snorkeling were fantastic, but we only saw one whale and it wasn't until the very end of the day (and from a distance) which was a bit disappointing. However, I would still recommend this company as the boat was clean and well-kept, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the experience overall was wonderful.

I'm not entirely sure what people look for when booking Scuba Dive shops but I look for PADI certification and small groups. When you book you never know what you're getting into but we weren't disappointed. We were met by Stephane who was instantly a nice, welcoming guy. We got onto the boat where all the equipment was ready for us, and we went off to the diving destination. As a guy with only 27 dives under my belt, at the time, I appreciated the fact that he could joke around and have fun but when it was time to get serious he did, such as doing a dive safety overview. He told us planned depths, duration's, safety considerations (such as Sea Urchins - which I wouldn't have thought about, etc.). Also, we did two days of diving with him and on my second day, after the first dive, I got sick (turns out later to be a little Montezuma's Revenge). But when I was hurling over the boat he didn't give me a hard time, nor did he give me a hard time when I decided to sit out the last dive. It was a great time, all the way, and I would happily recommend his shop to anyone looking for a good dive shop!

I cant say enough good things about Roberta and Stephane. They made diving in Sayulita an absolute awesome experience. Roberta was super helpful in the pre planning and logistics side of it and Stephane was an amazing dive guide for the 4 dives we did. I love the small boat atmosphere where you aren't a number being shoved off the boat. We had a private experience and that's worth every penny. If you are diving in Sayulita, in my opinion, this is the only company you should consider.

Roberta and Stephane run a fantastic little business. They work very hard (and succeed) in making sure you have a good, fun time.

Communicating with Roberta and scheduling everything was a breeze—she’s very friendly, organized, and easygoing.

I obtained my PADI Open Water scuba with Sayulita Entourage and was glad I did. Stephane is an excellent teacher. I never felt uncomfortable in the water and learned the skills rather easily due entirely to his direction. He has lots of experience and his own enjoyment of the scuba diving makes it all the more makes it all the more fun—yes, of course you’re learning the fundamentals and building confidence underwater, but you’re also just going out and sightseeing together in a sort of an underwater safari.

And the Marietas are great. Just the Islands themselves are striking, like some volcanic island you’d see in Iceland or the South Asian Seas, but there was so much to see underwater. There were very good conditions and we’re lucky enough to see a Great Manta. One of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. An incredible animal. And generally there were tons of fish and other creatures and plants. A few that I remember and could identify include: a school amberjack, a spotted eagle ray, lots of puffers, trumpetfish, Mexican Goatfish, Moorish idols, butterflyfish, angelfish, and triggerfish.

We also went on a snorkeling trip with my young nieces. Stephane and his boat crew were really very nice and accommodating for them, making sure they wouldn’t be scared and helping them have a good time.

I can’t say enough how kind and professional everyone involved with Sayulita Entourage is. Many thank yous to them.

Stephane, the instructor was fantastic. He showed two of my friends how to dive without any experience. He made what should have been a nerve wracking first experience very relaxing. Amazing time. Afterwards, we went to lunch together. He was an all around great guy and I would highly recommend the trip.

After much research I chose to dive with Stephane and his crew @ Sayulita Entourage. Roberta was easy to work with while scheduling. The dives out at the Marietas were a blast and the crew was AWESOME. Gear and boat were in good working order. Our boat captain "Skinny", divemaster "Debrah", and first mate "Edgar" made the trip for us.

I would highly recommend.

We love Roberta and Stephan and the personal service. We have had snorkeling trips with them and the best part of all the trips was the up close whale watching. A whale actually swam under our boat and delighted all aboard. Whales everywhere. So much better to be in a small boat, close to the water and be able to approach quietly and closely.
Roberta and Stephan are the best!

I contacted Sayuilita Entourage from Canada, and they were prompt and helpful in trying to help me achieve my goal to complete my open water dive and were honest regarding whether it would actually be possible. It turned out it was. They didn't ask me or demand any deposits until they were sure they could accommodate the class.

The instruction was great as Stephan is very calm and clear on what we needed to do. He remained calm and clear on his directives both above and below the water.

The staff on the boat were always aware of where we were in the water before and after the dive and were always there to offer help in getting in and out of the boat and dealing with the equipment.

In the boat the atmosphere was light, and informative. After each day we all had lunch together which was part of their service.

Highly recommend using this Dive shop.

I can't say enough about Sayulita Entourage and the wonderful experience my teenaged kids and husband had learning from and diving with Stephane. I wish there were 10 stars to rate them. Stephane was patient, thorough and made the certification process extremely fun. The open dives were thoroughly planned and the kids saw rays, turtles, blowfish, starfish and moray eels as well as whales on the boat ride to the Marieta Islands. Roberta was amazing at making our arrangements with impeccable communication - so quick to respond, anticipate our questions, followup and provide us with all of the information we needed to get prepare for our dives.

We will definitely return to dive with Sayulita Entourage!!

If you're planning to dive the PVR area, Sayulita Entourage is an excellent choice. Avoid the cattle boats. Stephane provided top notch knowledge & personalized service. Equipment was new. He and the captain had all the gear set up upon our arrival. Saw Morrey Eels, sea turtles, rays, etc on 1st tank. 2nd tank was amazing with a caves & swim through rock formations. Taxi picked us up at 9am, 15 min ride to the boat. Had a nice beachfront lunch & cervesas after. Roberta was great to work with to get us set up with the trip. Recommended!
