Reef Snorkeling & Jungle Speedboat Adventure with Mayan Ceremony

1.Reef Snorkeling & Jungle Speedboat Adventure with Mayan Ceremony

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,208 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Spend about 2.5 hours at Puerto Maya Cancun, learning about the Nichupte Lagoon, driving a two-person speedboat, snorkeling among reef fish, and watching a Mayan ceremony. Guides such as Juan, Fabio, and Captain Fox are praised for clear instruction and safety.

“Everyone was very nice and it was a well organized and awesome experience. We had tons of fun and the snorkeling was super cool. I took off a star for two reasons : the address given on the ticket wasn't the correct address and we ended up in the wrong place, having the Uber driver change directions twice. Also, not that I care much about it but it does mention a snack and none was provided, just a water bottle. Otherwise it was an absolute blast and we loved it.”

“Vom Veranstalter wurde die Tour Meeressafari genannt und so war es auch. Schnorcheln an 3 Spots mit unterschiedlicher Tiefe. Der Guide James war sehr gut. Er hat von vornherein gesagt, dass er uns nicht versprechen kann, wieviel und was wir sehen. Das fand ich super ehrlich. Aber wir haben jede Menge tolle Meeresfauna gesehen. Er hat uns im Wasser geführt und uns auf alle Tiere aufmerksam gemacht. Am letzten Spot sind wir den Adler- und Stachelrochen ganz nah gekommen. Immer wieder hat sich James vergewissern, ob es auch allen gut geht. Auch der Rest des Teams war sehr fürsorglich. Die Gruppengröße war mit ca. 15-18 Personen auch sehr angenehm. Das…”
