Overview

This was the very first tour we created, and it is still our guests' favorite. After years exploring the Riviera Maya, we chose the two places we love most: a sanctuary where sea turtles and stingrays live in the wild, and a stretch of the reef in front of the Tulum ruins full of color. Our local team shares them every day with the same care we would give our own family: small groups on each boat, a guide in the water with you, and a deep respect for the animals and the reef.

What's included

What to expect

Two snorkel spots, one unforgettable morning in the Mexican Caribbean. Your boat leaves from Playa Pescadores, inside Tulum National Park (Jaguar Park), and first glides past the cliffs of the Tulum ruins, where we stop so you can photograph the ancient Mayan city from the sea.

Stop 1 – Sea turtle & stingray sanctuary (about 45 minutes): float beside wild sea turtles as they graze on the seagrass and rise for air, while stingrays glide over the sandy bottom. We watch them respectfully: no touching, no feeding.

Stop 2 – Tulum coral reef (about 45 minutes): explore a colorful section of the Mesoamerican Reef, full of tropical fish and, often, nurse sharks resting below.

Your guide swims with you the whole time, life jackets and snorkel gear in every size are included, and each boat carries a small group, so beginners and families with kids 5+ feel at ease. Feeling tired? We bring you back to the boat at any moment.

Departures at 10:00, 12:00 and 14:00. Entry to Jaguar Park is free, and optional electric shuttles can take you to the beach.
