Overview

Unlike many similar tours where visitors simply walk by animals and take pictures from a distance, here you’ll genuinely interact with rescued animals in a natural and educational environment, plus we refresh in the crystal-clear waters of a hidden covered cenote surrounded by nature

The experience also includes snorkeling at Akumal Bay , using one of the area’s top professional dive centers, equipped with lockers, bathrooms, warm showers, and comfortable facilities for guests before and after the activity. From there, a speedboat takes you directly to the reef, where you’ll snorkel in crystal-clear Caribbean waters surrounded by tropical marine life. All snorkeling equipment is included.

To complete the experience, we finish the day with a full meal at Lara & Luca International Restaurant in Playa del Carmen, offering high-quality international cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
