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…”

“Activité sympa mais ce n’est pas vraiment dans la jungle. Ne vous attendez pas à voir beaucoup d’animaux. Il y avait un crocodile mais était-ce vraiment un vrai crocodile? Il n’avait pas l’air. Il était posé devant le portail d’une habitation. Je doute fortement. Il y avait deux iguanes perchés a un arbre. La majeure partie de l’activité consistait à faire plusieurs tours de bateau et le moment dans la jungle était assez court. Nous n’avons pas pu faire du snorkeling parce qu’oui y avait du vent. Ça peut être une bonne activité avec les enfants.”

I have a disability and staff helped me in and out of the boat and Jimmy towed me around behind a tube as I couldn’t do the snorkelling on my own. We saw so many fish and even a turtle. The group only had one other couple which was nice. The speedboats worked well and were fun to drive.”
