Catamaran Sailing and Snorkel (from Riviera Maya)

One of the most popular half-day tours on the Riviera Maya, this catamaran sailing and snorkel experience trades the hotel pool for the open Caribbean and a guided underwater world. In just four hours, you’ll sail, snorkel and paddleboard on crystal-clear waters just offshore from some of the most beautiful coastline in Mexico.

Once anchored at a protected snorkel site, your bilingual guide leads you through a vibrant underwater landscape of tropical fish and coral formations. All gear is included and the shallow, calm waters make this ideal for first-timers and experienced snorkelers alike. Paddle boards are also available for those who want to explore the surface at their own pace.

After the water activities, the catamaran becomes a floating lounge as you sail back along the coastline. An open bar and lunch of fresh fruits, sandwiches and Mexican sweets are served on deck as you soak up the warm tropical sun. It’s the kind of afternoon that reminds you exactly why you came to the Riviera Maya.

This tour departs daily at 08:30 AM or 1:00 PM from hotels along the Riviera Maya. Joining us from Cancun? Check out our Catamaran Sailing to Isla Mujeres from Cancun for a longer tour that includes a stop at Isla Mujeres.
