Turtle Snorkeling Tour in Akumal

Travel into the subtropical rainforest of the Yucatan Peninsula and discover the incomparable beauty of the many natural wells (“Cenotes”) hidden deep within this almost impenetrable jungle. You will have the opportunity to swim in the crystal clear fresh water of these cenotes and admire the thousands of spectacular stalactites and stalagmites that line their fossil-filled walls and ceilings.

And if that wasn’t enough your journey continues to the Bay of Akumal where you will be taken on a guided snorkel tour of the bay and its reef. This bay is famous for the many turtles that inhabit its waters all year round. Swim up close and drift along with them as they eat and swim leisurely through the clear turquoise blue waters of this Caribbean paradise. If you love nature then this is the perfect experience for you!
