Snorkel tour in the caribbean

Tour Overview

The Mexican Caribbean offers some awesome snorkeling opportunities year-round with its nice tropical weather, warm crystal clear waters and a variety of incredible ecosystems. This guided tour will take experienced and rookie snorkelers alike to discover three aquatic paradises; our guides will provide interesting information about the environment and safety while nature provides the abundant marine life and stunning underwater views that will blow your mind.

The tour starts at Yal Ku Lagoon, an ocean inlet in the beautiful Akumal bay, nursery to many tropical fish and home to hundreds of colorful critters. Next up will be an open cenote in the lush Mayan jungle. These sinkholes are portals to the vast network of underground rivers that permeate the Yucatan Peninsula and an incredible snorkeling spot to admire the complex rock formations and unique vistas of caverns and tropical jungles. The last stop is a cavern cenote, like the ones the Mayan civilization believed to be doors to the underworld. Let yourself be amazed by these flooded caves that the water carved in the limestone through the eons.

The Mayan Adventure tour includes a brief introduction to snorkel, all the snorkel gear and a guide to ensure your safety and satisfaction. Also included as part of the tour is a delicious buffet meal with non-alcoholic beverages included. Make your reservation now to begin exploring the fascinating underwater world of the Mexican Caribbean!
