Yes — from roughly June to September you can snorkel with gentle whale sharks off Cancun and the Riviera Maya, a safe, awe-inspiring encounter with the world’s largest fish.
Are cenote and snorkel tours worth it in Cancun?
Absolutely — swimming in crystal-clear cenotes, snorkelling over coral reefs with turtles, and seasonal whale-shark swims are unforgettable highlights of the Riviera Maya.
