Snorkeling is a fun and relaxing way to view the colorful and fascinating world just beneath the ocean’s surface.
Snorkeling is great fun! One of the primary activities you must do while being on vacations in the Riviera Maya is snorkeling! With a great number of safe reefs, it is perfect for the whole family! Kids and adults alike!
Tour Description
Snorkelers use a clear plastic mask and a short tube to breathe while floating face-down on the surface of the water. This way you can observe coral and marine life without scaring away the fish with your movements and without having to come up for air every minute. It is really easy and fun! Just floating and being immersed within the underwater scenery is enough to feel in contact with the purity of nature! Forget the hurdles of everyday life and go snorkeling today!

We start our adventure at the “Turtle Bay” where there are dozens of wild, free swimming turtles! These turtles have been in this Bay for centuries because of the beautiful reef that gives them shelter from bigger predators and for the plentiful delicious sea grass they eat! So, a sheltered bay with no predators, a beautiful reef with colorful coral formations and turtles everywhere you look, doesn’t sound bad eh? Well it is actually paradise!
Come and see it with you own eyes! When you will be thinking it can’t get any better than this after swimming with the turtles, we will head to a fresh water Mayan “cenote”. “Cenotes”, as called by the locals, are natural crystal clear fresh water holes in the middle of the Mayan jungle. Here, we will take you snorkeling through a maze of stunning rock formations that took millions of years to form! You can even see fossils on the walls!
The visibility in the cenotes is 100+ ft. so it seems like you are flying and natural light comes through perfectly into the water forming beautiful curtains of light you can almost touch! Prepare to be in awe and take incredible pictures! After swimming in the cenote, we will take you to the jungle surrounding the cenote where you will see many jungle animals like spider monkeys, wild boars, deer, crocodiles and more!
