Coral Reef Snorkeling Expedition from Cancun with Beachside Lunch
Overview
Explore the stunning tropical seascapes at the world's second largest reef formation, the Great Maya Reef, during an hourlong snorkeling adventure. Swim along the surface surrounded by colorful fish and keep your eyes opened for crabs, lobsters and even sea turtles.
Upon arrival at Puerto Morelos, go over the basics of snorkeling safety and technique, then suit up with a life jacket and snorkel gear including a brand-new tube. Visit one of the best snorkeling locations on the reef with time to snorkel at each one, for a varied look at Puerto Morelos' underwater world. While the wildlife changes from day to day, it’s common to spot sea turtles, rays, and many species of fish.
Following your time in the water, shower and change for a stroll through Puerto Morelos, where you can browse small shops, or just find a spot on the beach to enjoy the Caribbean sunshine. Meet back up for lunch at a Puerto Morelos beach club, then make the return trip to your hotel.
