What To Expect
Cancun and Riviera Maya snorkeling is some of the best on the planet, with year-round tropical weather and crystal-clear waters. Our Mayan Adventure Tour brings you to the underwater world with three unique aquatic eco-systems to explore. Our friendly guides will teach you all you need to know to have the best Riviera Maya snorkeling experience. First time snorkelers will feel right at home in no time and experienced snorkelers will be blown away by the marine life and underwater views.
This Riviera Maya snorkel tour brings you to the amazing Yal Ku Lagoon in Akumal, an ocean inlet full of gorgeous tropical fish and vegetation. Next stop is an open cenote in the middle of the jungle were you can marvel at the lush vegetation and crystal clear waters and snorkel in the underground river and explore what the Mayans considered the entrance into the underworld. These freshwater “swimming sinkholes” are carved into the limestone over millions of years creating stunning rock formations and the perfect place to refresh in the jungle.

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All City Boat Tours snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
