Absolutely awesome! I saw so much in such a short period of time, shuttle bus from my accommodation was great. I couldn’t believe how much variety there was in the types of fish, sea turtles, and the sea vegetation.

Full description

Amazing snorkeling tour, ideal for everyone: experts, little or no experience.


Get ready to remember this tour as something outstanding during your Cancun vacation. Tons of colorful fish, living coral reefs, turtles in their natural habitat and an impressive shipwreck, are waiting for you in this 2 hours ride under the sea, where the entire area does not exceed 4 meters deep, with warm, calm waters and very light sea currents.


Our marina is located 1 km away from the reef, approximately 5 minutes by boat.


The Snorkel tour is divided into 4 visits, with 3 dives:
First visit:
Enjoy the (El Meco) coral reef, one of the best preserved in the Great Mayan Reef, full of fish and marine life. The reef has depths of 2.5 to 4 meters with different coral formations and schools of fish.
Second visit:
Our second visit is to an underwater museum, where we will admire two underwater art galleries, art interaction and the environment in the Caribbean Sea. Beautiful works of art, with a spectacular turquoise blue background.
Third visit:


The point for finding turtles, we have 96 to 98% chances of finding 1 to 5 turtles. We can also find and swim with manta rays.
Fourth visit:


Visit a sunken boat, full of marine life, multicolored coral and schools of fish of different species. It is a semi-submerged boat and perched on a sandbank that makes around it, a natural pool of turquoise water, it is impressive!

It was a great first time snorkelling experience for us! We saw so many colourful fishes, corals and even two turtles, it was amazing! Our guide Pili and our boat captain Juan took great care of us and made sure we were safe and saw all the beauties in the water. Photographer from their team (I believe his name was Andy) made sure to capture these great memories. Would definitely recommend this tour!
