Itinerary

120 min

Choose between three departure times when you book, then meet your guide in the lobby of your Cancun hotel to begin this half-day of adventure. Board a comfortable, air-conditioned van and drive to the marina for your check-in and briefing. Get outfitted with a complete set of snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, life vest, fins and optional weights), and learn how to wear it properly with help from the staff. Beginners can participate in an optional snorkeling lesson in the shallow waters close to shore before boarding the boat and setting out to sea. Group size is limited to 10 for a personal experience. After just five minutes on the boat, arrive at the first location: a well-conserved coral reef full of fish and marine life. With calm, warm water that's only 8-12 feet (2.5-3.5 meters) deep, this snorkeling spot is great for all levels.

Amazing time!

We were taken to amazing sites. The guide was very patient and made sure everyone was comfortable. I would definitely go again and highly recommend it.

Barracuda, turtles, and a ray.

Very good organization. We saw barracudas, a ray, and 3 turtles. Very beautiful day and the staff is very competent (Daisy in particular).

Good for first timers

Definitely book with transportation. Worth the money as the pier is hard to find on your own. Everything went smoothly from pick up to return. I am a diver, so for me this was boring but went with a friend who had never been snorkeling. She loved it. We saw a barracuda, pretty fish, and 3 turtles. Be aware the current is strong and if you are not a decent swimmer, it is a bit difficult. The guide was a bit fast and a bit unaware of people falling behind. Without me, my friend would have really struggled. We booked the early morning tour and I am glad we did as there will be many groups out there as the day continues. By the time we reached the shipwreck, it was a mob scene. However, all in all, not a bad experience.

Not as great as 3 years ago

i booked this tour cuz I did it 3 years ago with the exact same company. But it wasn’t as nice as before. I feel very rushed this time. We did see a lot of fish. But I felt very rushed at very stop. I am not good at swimming and I swim very slow. Also the waives were really bad on the day so it was very hard for me to catch up. But I didn’t feel that the tour guide daisy waited. When we did it three years ago, the guided always waited me and one of the other girls. They offered water 3 years ago but they didn’t really this time untill we asked. They gave us time to apply sunscreen and follow our pace a lot last time. I was so happy with it so I booked again. The experience this time is much worse. I feel like they are just trying to rush for the next group. it is still alright but won’t book again or recommend to anyone else .

The tour includes several experiences, making it entertaining and diverse. Captain Juan and guide Nancy do a very professional job.

One of the best!

One of the best snorkeling trips I have been on! The guides know what they are doing! We saw tons of fish, a sting ray, eels, and a turtle! It’s a great tour if you don’t want to spend all day gone from your resort as well. We booked the 9 am tour and were back at the resort at noon. You can’t beat the experience for the price. The smaller boat ensures a smaller group and that was also very nice.
