Half-Day Sea Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Tour from Cancun & Riviera Maya

Half-Day Sea Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Tour from Cancun & Riviera Maya - Parque de Cenotes Yax-Muul: what cenote swimming is actually like

1.Half-Day Sea Turtle and Cenote Snorkeling Tour from Cancun & Riviera Maya

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,039 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $99Our pick

Half-day snorkel for sea turtles at Akumal and swim in Yax-Muul cenote, with pickup, gear, and empanadas. From Cancun.

“First up, our guide, Luisa, was great, with fluent English (and German) and en route provided excellent commentary on what we could expect from both the snorkelling and the cenote. On arrival at Akumal, we were again fully briefed on how to use the snorkels and fitted with life jackets. We had been told that we couldn't - and indeed mustn't- take our phones but not to worry because the company had an excellent photographer, our own personal 'papparazzo'. There was then a slightly forced photoshoot on the beach. After that we boarded a little boat and were taken out to a point beyond the snorkelling area and jumped in.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 71 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $49

Catamaran sailing and snorkeling near Isla Mujeres with open bar and snacks, plus free time on the island from Cancun.

“Crew was very friendly and helpful and drinks were plentiful! My only one (big) gripe is that the crew didn’t step in earlier to address an issue. On the way out there we had a young couple on the boat and the woman/lady was drunk and was grinding on her partner in front of everyone else (including 2 young children) and being very sexual to him. She connected her phone to the boats speaker (with the crews permission) and played her music which was very inappropriate (it had swear words and very graphic details in it). She was signing the swear words really loudly to everyone on board. The atmosphere…”

Swim with whale sharks from Cancun, with small-group snorkeling, snacks on the crossing, and lunch on Isla Mujeres. Fees apply.

“Décevant le guide n’a fait aucun effort d’écoute et de compréhension vis à vis de nos différents demandes aux cours de la journée. La visite avec les requins baleines s’effectue pas groupe de deux personnes ce qui laisse peu de possibilités de savourer le moment. Le repas servis sur place dans le bateau et totalement irrespectueux vis à vis du prix que nous avons laissé ( servi dans un petit pots avec 3 chips et un véhicule) je déconseille fortement”

From Riviera Maya: Snorkeling & Private Cenote Half-Day Tour - Why Tulum’s limestone cenotes feel different from a beach swim

15.Snorkeling & Private Cenote Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 36 reviews · 5 hours · from $169

Snorkel a limestone cenote and the Caribbean reef near Tulum on a small group half-day tour with transfers, guides, and equipment.

“What I appreciate most about Mexico Kan tours is their focus on sustainable tourism practices. They had us rinse off and let us know that wearing sunblock and bug repellents into the water has harmed the aquatic life (in fact, they no longer do turtle tours as sea turtles have developed tumors with increased tourism and chemicals in their environment). Everything ran on time, all equipment was ready and in good condition, and we had yummy homemade snacks and lunch. I would highly recommend this tour!”
