Overview

More than just a turtle tour – a small-group, low-impact experience.
Unlike big boats with 30+ people, we keep groups small (max 12-15 for the water part, even if the van holds 20) for personal attention and to protect the reef. Your certified local guide knows exactly where turtles feed in Akumal Bay and will teach you how to observe them respectfully and safely, without touching or chasing.
Includes round-trip transport from Playa del Carmen / Playacar, snorkel gear, and time to explore the bay's tropical fish. Ideal for first-time snorkelers – safety briefing included.
