What To Expect

After pickup at your Riviera Maya hotel in the morning, board a comfortable vehicle for a short trip to your snorkeling adventure.

The first stop is an underground cenote, or limestone sinkhole, filled with fresh groundwater. Slip on your provided snorkel gear and jump in. Swim among the otherworldly rock features in this clear water, exploring one of the region's unique natural land formations.

Dry off, take a rest and enjoy a provided snack before traveling to your next stop.

Arrive at Akumal, a protected area for four different species of sea turtles. Learn about the biology and characteristics of each type of turtle, as well as the region's conservation efforts. Slip into the calm, warm water with your guide and snorkel among these peaceful creatures. Swim through schools of tropical fish and vivid clusters of live coral.

At the end of your adventurous day of snorkeling and exploring the natural wonders of the area, enjoy drop-off at your Riviera Maya hotel.

Helen_F, Jul 2022

The natural elements of the tour - the cenote and the turtles were wonderful. The guide (Danilo) was very personable and polite, but during the turtle snorkelling neither he nor the snorkelling guide paid much attention to the group. There was a lot of groups out there, all crowding around the turtles, and our group became very scattered - neither Danilo nor the snorkelling guide even seemed to notice that some people were being left behind. This was in contrast to other guides who were clearly taking care to guide their groups attentively.

This was a lot of fun. We saw a 6' turtle, as well as two smaller ones in their natural habitat, a stingray and a large barracuda. There was a lot of people however, and the snorkeling was mainly over sea grass and the water was murky. But we did see turtles!

Michelle M, Jan 2014

Our guide was nice, but not very animated. We saw quite a few turtles but not much else and the beach was very busy. It might have been better to just taxi to Axumel and rent snorkel gear. The cenote stop was very nice and all the family enjoyed swimming in the cenotes.
