Private Snorkel Tour On The Reef Lagoon

Itinerary

Admission included

Your crew, the captain, and the guide, will be waiting for you at the dive center. Upon arrival, you will receive the snorkel gear, which has been previously cleaned and disinfected. Your guide will provide a briefing and fish identification charts to use during the excursion. The boat will take you to the snorkel area beyond Mahahual town. She is a 21-foot long boat, totally safe and suitable for a max of 6 pax. The excursion consists of 2 stops in two different areas, one more visited due to its high probability of swimming with sea turtles, and a second where there will be no other snorkelers. Between both areas, the boat will take you to the beach if you want to relax and enjoy the snacks and drinks that the staff brings in the refrigerator. Your guide will carry a safe hoop that can be used by anyone who needs to rest. In addition to taking care of the group and pointing out animal life, the guide will take pics that will become memories of a great experience!

Super snorkeling

We made the snorkeling tour with Neto and Nano. Everything was perfect: Neto took the time to give us the explanations before swimming mainly for the purpose of preserving the seabed. He guided us by snorkeling with us which allows to benefit from his wise eye to see the reefs and fish and thanks to him we met 2 turtles. A very pleasant time I recommend. Be careful sunscreen is forbidden to preserve corals so you must plan the t-shirt anti uv

So glad we did this

I'm terrible with names but our guide for my family's snorkeling tour was amazing. We have a special needs child who swims very well but can be unpredictable when out on the water. Our guide recognized the situation immediately and was quick to relieve me and my wife. She took her aside and personally guided her for the rest of the tour. The boat ride back was also a blast as she and my daughter bonded. I can't recommend enough. Thanks so much!

Snorkeling around the coral reef with my teenage daughter

Great experience! We were afraid of the impact of the polar storm and the cold snap on the quality of the excursion. Finally the water was 27 and we could see many species around the coral reef including an eagle skate and a turtle when it is not the season! Our guide was really nice, he guided us with a lot of kindness and a lot of explanations.

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis que, malgré la tempête polaire et la vague de froid, la mer soit restée clémente à 27°C et que vous ayez pu observer tant d’espèces — quelle chance avec la raie aigle et la tortue hors saison ! Merci aussi pour vos mots envers notre guide, nous veillons à transmettre vos compliments. Ce sera un plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour d’autres découvertes marines. À bientôt, L’équipe Mar Adentro

Perfect.

That snorkeling session was beautiful. We were able to see a lot of fish, a moray and a turtle.

Operator response

Short and sweet! Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so glad you had a 'perfect' snorkeling session with us. Finding a moray eel and a turtle in one trip is always a highlight! The reefs here in Mahahual never cease to amaze us with their biodiversity. We hope to welcome you back to Mar Adentro for another beautiful adventure in the water soon!

They were great and made the experience enjoyable

Our tour guides were Patricio and victor! They were great! My friends and I have never snorkeled before. They were very patient with us. And when we got in the water we were having a little difficulty with our masks. Victor… had the life ring and left all three of us hold onto it, while we kicked too, and took us all over to find things in the ocean. Victor would go down and show us different things. If he hadn’t done that?!!! We wouldn’t have seen nearly anything. And the ocean was a bit rough so we were just getting beat up by the waves. We probably would have quit waaay earlier. But he was soo patient! Thank you guys for a great experience!!
