Sea Turtle Snorkeling Riviera Maya
You'll have a blast on this Snorkel Experience at the Riviera Maya as you interact with sea turtles for a one-of-a-kind vacation memory. Your experience will start in Yal Ku Lagoon, a location about 30 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, and that is not well-frequented by tourists. Here you'll delight in crystal clear waters full of aquatic wildlife. See parrot fish, angel fish and other exotic fish in their native habitat. The waters are about 6 feet deep, so you'll have a safe swim on this 45 minute snorkel experience. This location is good for all levels of experience. The total time spent at this location is about one hour fifteen minutes, after which you will depart for a 10 minute drive to Akumal.
In Akumal, you'll enjoy white sand beaches on a 2 hour beach break before beginning a second 45 minute snorkel tour set against the home of Logger-Head Sea Turtles. Here, you'll be swimming in the open ocean, at depths of 8 feet. These friendly creatures enter the bay each day to feed on sea grass. You'll enjoy lunch and an open bar set against this beautiful backdrop in paradise. This is a snorkel experience unlike any other, and one that you won't ever forget!
